Felt comfortable at Liverpool? Bigger fish in a slightly smaller swim than say Chelsea.

Agree with that and if my memory serves me correct, didn't Gerrard flirt with joining Chelsea a while back?

You realise that your best days are behind you when.... 1) You switch off the lights for economic rather than romantic reasons. 2) You don't fancy any women in the same age bracket as you. 3) You regularly say to yourself...' now what did I come in here for ' 4) You can't remember when you...

No one is indispensable. There was public mourning on the streets of Liverpool when Keegan left but Dalglish then arrived and it was quickly forgotten. If he was that good he would have steered them to a league title ( which is their holy grail...after nearly 25 barren years ) but you know the...

Was a steady player for England but never really influenced games at the highest level. At club level, he could take a game by the scruff of the neck but he didn't quite have the class to do it against the very best International sides.

Murray has returned to Palace. So I guess its down to Pardew now.

I assume that you will be giving the Amex a wide berth after the appointment of this ' no hoper ' then? ( would also appreciate a list from you of average and above average managers who would have been better suited to this job at a club placed 41st out of 92 league clubs )

A manager he is not...full stop.

I think I will chew on Rusk for a while.

When did BHA ever play ' beautiful football '....I've followed the club for nearly 50 years and I've yet to see it. I've witnessed passages of play that were very good considering the quality of players involved. You need top quality players to produce ' beauty ', when sublime technique melts...

You need to do a bit more research. The one thing Hyypia wasn't was a leader on the field. He admitted in a recent interview that he wasn't a leader at Liverpool. He said he let other, more forceful players do the shouting and organising, whilst he just got on with playing. A major character...

....And thats where you and I differ. Moving the ball forward, at a good tempo, looking for openings, with players running intelligently off the ball is my footballing mantra. I am old enough to remember the Italian style in the 60's ( Catenaccio...apologies for spelling ) where they played...

You mean our passing sideways and backwards game....FFS...Poyet and Garcia took cautious football to art-form levels. Some people have selective memories and look back on the odd occasions when we were allowed to play expansive football by moderate opposition. For a lot of the time it was yawn...

Massively underwhelmed!!!!....who the bloody hell did you want or expect....you weren't going to get Mourinho Wenger, Van Gaal or even Pulis. This is a solid, experienced and dependable appointment...FFS...I thought this was what everyone was crying out for...and as if Norwich are getting it...

I know those four clubs had a reputation but so did a lot of others. Its a bit rich coming from the Chairman of a club that were hardly paragons of virtue themselves in the 1980's.

Strikers can only put the ball in the back of the net if they are given the service. With CMS, Baldock, COG ( who was superb last night ) and Colunga, we have enough upfront. It is the creativity behind them that is lacking. We need Kaz back fit and with him and Solly playing wide, that should...

Listened to him post Reading and was impressed. Thought to myself....' thats what a manager should sound like...not the turgid stuff we've had to listen to for 5+ months '

What do you expect when you put player recruitment in the hands of an arrogant tosspot, full of his own self-importance. I was made aware of the problem some time ago, by a reputable source in football. He mentioned a number of agents who had lost patience with DB and refused to deal with him. (...

You would have thought that consideration would have been given to Hyypia's lack of experience and how poorly his stint in Germany finished ( surely a big warning sign ) Also, how much research went into his character. He admitted himself that he wasn't a leader when he played, that he let...

He was at Derby ( saw him entering the ground ) and a Wolves supporting contact confirmed he was at Molyneux.
