Liverpool - Anger Rages On!

Liverpool is a club I have supported since my varsity days. I have nothing against the club. In fact I still love the club despite the severe heartache I get each time I watch the team play. How can you not feel pain everywhere watching the ball being passed backwards all the time, only for the goalkeeper to finally kick a long ball into the opponents' half after all the superfluous merry-go-round. I am only against the owners who know nuts about football. I am also bitterly against the manager with an ego as big (and round) as his belly.

In any sport, there can only be one winner. It is never a shame losing to a better team as long as you have done your best. What happened in the aftermath of a defeat is what set the managers apart.

Arsene Wenger acknowledged that United deserved to be champions after seeing his team draw 0-0 with United. He also congratulated Fergie for the feat.

After Chelsea trounced Liverpool 4-1 in (of all places) Anfield, Guus Hiddink said on TV: "When you win, you win with modesty; when you lose, you must accept defeat with some humility."

Rafa, in contrast, stubbornly refused to congratulate Fergie for clinching the Premier League title. He only credited the United team for a fine performance, and went on to lament that United won only because it has a bigger squad and a bigger stadium! What rubbish! With a mindset and ego such as this, how far do you think Rafa can take Liverpool? Time for a complete overhaul of Liverpool Football Club. Time for change. Time for Rafa to go. And time for Mourinho to take over.
