On the subject of yesterday's game, something which hasn't been mentioned is the attendance at Anfield:
22,577.
The only reason I raise this, is because Liverpool fans are the first to tell you how they're the best, most loyal fans in the country, they love to remind us of these special nights at Anfield, yet now - we're seeing the complete opposite. The moment things have started to go wrong, Anfield is half empty and half their fans are nowhere to be seen.
I say that because I'm also reminded of their attendance for their previous home game, before last night.
25,605.
If Manchester City, or Chelsea or Arsenal only filled half their ground for two games in a row - they would be castigated by just about everyone, and right at the front of the queue - you'd find Liverpool supporters.
And unfortunate no telecast of the united match last night because the Chelsea game was deemed more glamourous.
Yes. Just like the way Rafa was treated. Pathetic these days supporters and the mass media are, aren't they?Roy Hodgson is unfairly treated after this result
It certainly seems embarrassing, regardless of a club if it's the case of supporters not bothering to turn up. However other factors like excessive pricing may be the reason? Certainly it isn't embarrassing, IF it's a result of a boycott/movement against the owners, however I doubt football supporters are that intelligent or enforcing enough.
Not really. Liverpool had the only chance of winning any trophy this season and that was CC and fans knew it more than well; hence such a reaction. History is the enemy for them.Yes. Just like the way Rafa was treated. Pathetic these days supporters and the mass media are, aren't they?

As for "castigating", Chelsea and Arse fans are no angels in this regard.
BTW I hear your supporters calling Yossi as "yiddo"? Racism or their way of showing affection?
The Guardian newspaper has today (Thursday) published a letter by Chelsea Football Club chairman Bruce Buck, written in response to an article in the paper's sport section.
The club do not believe the article accurately reflected our policy of both condemning anti-semitic and other discriminatory behaviour and acting strongly when such behaviour occurs.
The letter in full is below:
Liverpool’s huge ticket price rise – LFC News | Liverpool FC | Anfield OnlineSuddenly the tickets have become too expensive?
Criticism is fine, however calling for manager's head (this early) or abusing him certainly is not.Liverpool FC lost to a 4th division team at Anfield.Roy deserves all the flak he gets for this.
I have just posted that link so that other people can realize the context of our discussion. That article is the one which Chelsea chairman is talking about in his letter.^ Apparently some nameless 'fans' hold more importance than the Chairman of the club who wrote in to that newspaper.
Whatever.
Not exactly true. He is here to "study the ship". He is not exactly young to be on a long-term job.Roy is on a long-term job at Anfield. End of discussion.
ThisAwesome.
