What? No thread about the league leaders? Shocking

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Aye, in Germany..... With the 1-7-2 formations they play out there. That is one seriously good league to watch mind, constantly outscoring the other 'big' leagues and huge crowds generating great atmospheres, from an entertainment point of view it shits all over the Premier League, but the standard is not as high, which i'm sure you'll testify to

Sky Sports News understands Rick Parry is set to part company with Liverpool by mutual consent.

Parry's position as chief executive at Anfield has been the subject of speculation for some time due to the ongoing row with Rafa Benitez.

The pair have failed to see eye-to-eye over the club's transfer policy with Benitez thought to be looking for full control over the team's transfers.

During last season's much-publicised disagreement between Liverpool's two American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, Hicks called for Parry to resign.

The news comes at the end of a fraught week for the club when rumours of Benitez leaving Anfield emerged before Wednesday's UEFA Champions League win over Real Madrid.

Benitez denied the rumours in the aftermath of the victory in the Spanish capital and it appears Parry is the man on his way out of Anfield.

Reports suggest Parry has been negotiating a pay-off for the past few weeks and that he will quit his post at the end of the season.

Liverpool have so far refused to comment on the reports.

I can understand that move. Think Benitez should be gone as well, but then they might actually get a manager capable of winning the English PL title, which would be a shame. Plus that would be the end to the Benitez is a prick thread. Double pity. So keep Benitez for at least another season, it helps keep my spirits up during these tough economic times.

Sounds like a cracking own goal as well.

Serves them right for not having a striker in the squad.

1608: Steven Gerrard bursts into the box and pulls the ball back for Nabil El Zhar, who scoops a golden opportunity over the bar from eight yards. They won't get a better chance than that.

1617: Steven Gerrard gives Nabir El Zhar a piece of his mind after the young striker plays the ball to the skipper when he is clearly offside.

Going very well it sounds like.

Chelsea won 2-1 didn't they? :?

Liverpool had a real chance this season and they've utterly bottled it. United don't even have to try to win the title at the moment, it's theirs.

That's what I thought, too! :conf:

Anyway, until today there have only been four teams that have failed in putting one past the Boro keeper. They are Wigan, City, Newcastle and Blackburn. Now we can add Liverpool to that list. I've met Blurred a couple of times and he really is one of life's soundest guys. However, that doesn't alter the fact that there's nothing quite as sweet as having a boaster shown up as being an absolute chump!

League leaders - my substantial arse! :lmfao:

Traditionally we've done better in the second half of the season than in the first; must be that 'rotation' of Benitez's bearing fruit... Seriously though. If we're there or thereabouts come the new year, it'll be a very interesting end of the season.
