^well yeah, true, but dont you think he looks like a troll doll (or at least the hair)

yeah the hair is a bit out there

Insane tackle by Crouch yesterday

very stupid aswell after what had happened in the spurs game

Everton have a better chance of winning the league than Liverpool, haha!

you have no business discussing the top of the table...you support everton...stick to the uefa cup



as long as were not 30 points off the winners this year then we are still continuing to progress...anyone who thought we were going to win it this year was slightly deluded at best

do you not think you should have progressed further by now ?

Benitez has spent a lot of money and has had plenty of time to develop his team and the way they play.

Personally im glad he is your manager because i think he costs you points.

^ He rotates the squad a bit too much, and I've heard that Benitez has asked for more transfermoney

[da_notorious_mack]

he spent 46m and brought 26m back in so thats 20m in all


we havent been in the sameboat as utd and chelsea to be spendin 20+ million on one player over the last year...we cant do it one season and suddenly expect the league...if anything benitez is punished for over-succeeding in the cl in his1st year

he spent a lot more previous seasons and didnt recoup, in total £127 mil spent and 51 mil brought back http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2007/11/23/rafa-benitez-s-transfer-history-100252-20150499/

thats more than enough to build a team to challenge for the title.

how much have utd and chelsea spent buildin on sides that have already won titles though???...im not sure but rio=28m rooney=25m hargreaves=18m??...carrick 16m....tevez....shevchenko???...essien etc etc....were playing catch up though i do agree with the squad now we should be challenging,,,but that isnt necessarily wiinning it...as long as the gap is nobigger than 12 points it will be another season of progression...the new players also need time to bed in so thats a factor

we just bought an Angolan striker Manucho 
24 years old, has played 8 times for his national team, and has scored twice....

From manutd.com

United has reached agreement with Petro Athletico of Luanda to sign Mateus Alberto Contreiras Goncalves – "Manucho."

The 24-year-old Angolan international striker, who has scored twice in 10 appearances for his country, has agreed personal terms and will join the Club in January on a 3-year agreement.  An application for a work permit will be made in due course.

He was top goalscorer in the last two seasons of the GiraBola, finishing with 16 goals for Petro Luanda in 2006 and 15 goals this year. Manucho will be part of the Angolan squad for the African Nations Cup in January.

Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted by the new arrival, saying: “We have had Manucho here for a 3-week trial and have been impressed enough to offer him a 3-year contract.

"He is a tall, agile and quick forward and through contacts that Carlos [Queiroz] has was brought to our attention around six months ago.”

i know nothing about this guy other than what i have read today.

It will be interesting to see how he settles in, whether he will be involved with the first team or playing with dong in the reseves.

Wont find out for a while due to african nations.

BIG BEN 

I saw that on the BBC website, some picture.

When you think about how high he has jumped and has to stoop down to head that ball.

IMO Bendtner should play more often.
