  1. How many people did Rafa change from that "nearly ruined" squad before he won the CL? (He only brought in Alonso that year.) His only achievement till date? And what has he done with the team since?

     

    No sane man, can really say that Rafa has taken this team forward for sure? His only proven successful signing is Torres and Alonso. Who else? Thats in 6 years (well 6 transfer season cycles)

     

    Did I say anything at all about the CL? Why are you bringing it up? (He won the FA Cup the next year, but trophies are completely irrelevant to what I'm saying.)

     

    Thanks for pointing out that Xabi was the only signing he made then. Take a look at the squad (particularly the bench) that played in this match, and tell me they've gone backwards since then. Go on, I dare you.

     

    I love how the crux of your argument is trophies and "proven successful signings". Trophies will not be won often without a solid squad, and Rafa spent too much money on squad players to be able to sign the big names. Yeah okay, he spent 20mil on Robbie Keane, but that was an aberration, a solitary brainfart.

  2. was there any anytime before :P

     

    anyway. :P i respect your support for a not so favored club. :(

    everton are a god side but with the money with the higher clubs and now man city, it will always be tough for them to compete. Was not there some rumors of anil ambani buying the club ??

     

    We have won nine titles you know, though those were a long, long time ago. :P

     

    It's not about competing or anything of that sort. We have a solid squad that really should be making Europe every year, but we're performing terribly this season. We needed a last gasp equalizer last week against Wolves, at home. f**k that!

     

    We probably need just a bit more money, but Kenwright is never going to sell the club to someone who sees it as a mere investment, and kudos to him for being that way.

     

    You can keep the " FACHTS " to yourself , for all i care rafa is probably the worst manager in the league.

     

    You cannot be seriously suggesting that Rafa is worse than Phil Brown, can you?

     

    Rafa took a team almost readymade and won the CL with them. Since then they have actually gone backwards.

     

    lolwut. "Readymade team"? Houllier nearly ruined the club in his last two years, and Rafa's had to build an entire squad by himself. Yeah sure they'd finished fourth and whatnot, but no one took them as a serious threat. To suggest that going from there to being a legitimate title threat is going "backwards" is ludicrous.

  3. left flank ?? what happened to that Diniyar Bilyaletdinov ?? he was highly rated, chelsea were linked to him and i actively followed his matches, highlights on youtube, well up till we got the superior Zhirkov, but still Bilya is a damn good player..

     

    cup tied or something ??

     

    Terrorized down the left flank meaning their left wing, our right side defensively.

  4. I cannot believe we lost 5-0. Oh well, at least it was a team with Saviola, Aimar and Cardozo.

     

    From the looks of it, we were terrorized down the left flank, and that's been a major weakness throughout. With Heitinga cup-tied for Europe, I don't see us progressing very far this season. Still, the start of this season has been a disaster. :rant:

  5. LOL @

    .

     

    Viana, a team from the Second Division of Maranhao in Brazil, had to win its final match by eleven goals to gain promotion. With 9 minutes remaining they led 2-0, before scoring 9 goals in 9 minutes to win 11-0.

     

    A corruption probe has been launched, though after watching that video I really don't understand why. :bounce:

  6. Nah LoB works better for me as a movie. HG at times felt like a series of (amazingly well written) skits.

     

    Meaning of life is the only one I didnt get on with.

     

    Well yeah, but I was always laughing so hard I ended up not caring. 'tis a silly place!

     

    Speaking of Meaning of Life, I haven't watched it either. Always get reminded of it every time I read The Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams, but then end up forgetting it immediately afterward.

  7. LOL.

     

    Weirdly enough that makes me want to re-watch Life of Brian. Then again I always preferred it to the Holy grail. :P

     

    I loved both movies, but Holy Grail > Life of Brian by far, imo. I was in love with the movie the second Arthur showed up on screen. :O

     

    Think I'll go watch it again.

     

    EDIT: Scratch that, I was in love with the movie when the Opening Credits rolled.

     

    A m00se once bit my sister. :lol:

  8. Fall season highlights, so far:

     

    Kimi ni Todoke: Main character looks like Sadako from the ring. :D Pretty funny moments, has a romance plot for the main part.

    Kobato: Weird. Will give it a look-in later.

    Nyan Koi: Absolutely hilarious show about this guy who can hear cats. Needless to say, the cats had me in splits. Must watch.

    Darker than Black - Ryuusei no Gemini: It's f**kin' Darker than Black. Do I really need to say more?
