You’re summary and analysis of what has transpired gives a lot of clarity to this bemused and troubled mind. Being from way south, i get many people asking what makes me a red fan. I can point to the fact that when i was a kid my foreign mum bought me a Liverpool kit – probably coz they were the governors back then. Yet its because they always did things a certain gallant way and played a pure and fair brand of football. Mancs have always played dirty, and still do. But we are so off that now. Wether Rafa’s public outbursts or conduct are his way or if its been forced on him, I don’t know. I feel uneasy about him. I do know that Fergi is a devisive so and so – but would you have seen Kenny or Bob do anything remotely similar?

I wish all the best to Robbie, his passing through seeming to be way too short and sickeningly orchestrated to be like the Good Ol’ Days. Did he really deserve it? To labled a failure??? The January deadline is a Premiership-created anomally that is just plain wrong – Keane could of been a real fave had there been more time. The fun is just starting in this title race and, in my opinion we’ve just lost with his sale. With Villa in the their ascendancy, looking at their front line is a chilling reminder of the gaps in ours.
Not wanting to be a downer, but if we are gonna win it, and i hope we do, I’m gonna take a break from venting my spleen at our club, until the backroom sort themselves out.
To win it though, our boys are gonna have dig real deep, and somehow find something to like about the club. I wont be able to help with that one.
