When the media fuss dies down he gets on twitter and starts talking about how "Ive almost made up my mind" or "I'm wearing blue next year" or "I'm going to Manchester" and finally "I'm going to sign with Chelsea, United or City" and then "Chelsea".

Each time just to get his name in the headlines again because people stopped caring and are talking about others. It's a classic "look at me" ADHD type personality.

Looks like it's Brendan Rodgers for Liverpool then.

I worry for Swansea now, this will probably stop them from progressing.

The old '2nd Season Syndrome'?

I think the fact that they had got Sigurdsson permanently was a big sign that they'd stay up again, he's class, but now?

I just feel bad for Rogers. It's a poisoned chalice right now and he won't be able to chuck bundles of cash at mediocre players like Dalglish was allowed to.

Ugh. The US squad is totally outclassed.

That handball penalty was BS though.

And the starting 11 is Brazil's Olympic squad. All under 23 except for Hulk, Marcelo and Thiago Silva. They're playing without players like Maicon, Lucio, Dani Alves, Kaka etc..

Neymar went down horribly easy though, if he stays down that easily he's nowhere near ready for the European leagues. Marcelo has been a bastard all day too :lol:

Gotta feel for the US...all those chances in a row missed and Pato just comes in and slots one in.

Granted Brazil has missed chances as well, but in the 2nd half the US kept pushing and seemed incapable of finishing.

Liverpool fans:

"RAFA OUT!"

"Thank God we have Hodgson"

"Hodgson is bad, WE WANT RAFA BACK!"

"King Kenny will save us!"

"He's a rubbish manager too"

"Sacked him at last!"

"Noooooooo not Rogers"




Most fickle fans I've seen.

In all fairness most Liverpool fans I know would have kept Kenny and Rafa.

The most use Liverpool could get out of Dalglish is using him as a media spokesman to blame everyone but the players for everything that went wrong each game.

Genuine exchange that happened on Sky Sports News:

Fan: "The problem with Kenny was, you should never go back."

Reporter: "Who do you want next?"

Fan: "Rafa."

So Paul Lambert for Aston Villa, now I think Norwich will get relegated for sure.

They would never do anything. Not if Holt is leaving anyway.
