I dunno.

I think that it's trying to say that, due to the owners, we'll not get any better if we make a change, regardless of who we brought it.  I disagree, because I refuse to believe that this squad of players, with some of the planet's best footballers cannot beat the likes of Wigan, Sunderland, Stoke and Portsmouth.

I don't want miracles.  I just want better.

yes we do have arsehole owners but lets not forget,under the same financial restraints,with the same budgets and virtually the same team we had our best season in years,but this season we have the same owners same financial restraints with the same budgets and virtually the same team yet we are bollocks....

raffa could of gone out and spent the 20 mill he spent on aquaman on either a striker or a fit attacking midfielder but he didnt he spent it on a player who had been injured for 6 months and was still injured when he was signed and is still struggleing to find a place in the team with 10 or so games to go,its not about the amount of money its how that money is spent and yes he has signed some cracking players who have improved us but he has also spent millions on donkeys....he has let players leave who could of done a better job than the 1s we have or he replaced them with....

yes its easy to say if he had a blank cheque he could of signed so and so but on past evidence there is also a chance he could spend millions on a another donkey

"If you keep donig what you've always done - you'll always get what you've always got" (or worse)... For an explanation of this saying - see Liverpool Football Club or Rafa Benitez over the last few years..!

thats a bit harsh SB
carra still has a year or 2 in him and when he does go, agger will still be here with skrtel and some of the youngens that look very promising and in the next couple of years we may well buy another CB
agree yossi is a bit hot and cold, better as a sub imo
kuyts very best is much more then the odd goal when were playing well. he has scored countless goals on big staged when hes needed most, he puts in 110% every game and is one of the few players that would just about die for the shirt.
aquilani hasnt had enough time to adapt, hes looked good when hes featured and has only recently fully recovered, lucas and masch are both playing well so you cant just kick them out. i think youll find he comes back next season fresh and ready.

Yeah, Iunderstand what your saying and I agree. Thats why I stated its 'Just a thought that sometimes you take the captaincy away from a player and it releases the pressure abit.?' But, I also think this may do more damage than good after allthe times he has pulled us out of the fire, with Gerrard it may have the adverse effect.. Just dont know on this one. Actually would love to see him be the one to lift the Prem title as captain above anyone else - he deserves it.

Hmm... Who is magic????

Aqualini?
