Benitez's brinkmanship strikes again 1:51pm on 26 Oct 2009 The one thing that stands out from reading these comments?

You can tell that the schools are on a half-term holiday.

Aquilani may just make or break liverpool's season.

That season being 2010/11 I can not remember any player coming to the prem from another top European league and bedding in straight away to the pace of the prem."

Fernando Torres.

Cheers mate. I dunno whether to feel honoured or patronised. 'Patronised' means being talked down to, by the way.

Cracking response Robbo, made my evening :D
The Title Race Is Back On? Nahhhh! 6:57pm on 16 Mar 2009 To Robbo:

Great blog as usual. Always raises a smile, although I would like to suggest a slight change to the format.

At the start of every blog, please paste this link to the Wikipedia page entitled "Tongue-in-cheek", as it appears that 90% of the numpties who read your blog have no idea what it means.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-in-cheek

Either that or let the mods go on a mass banning spree so I don't have to wade through umpteen comments from clueless and humourless people each time I visit your corner of the Infraweb.

Cheers,

Goal Dust 7:14pm on 27 Feb 2009 WTF
Goal Dust 7:10pm on 27 Feb 2009 Dammit why are my posts not showing up :/
England's elite in pole position 8:11pm on 26 Feb 2009 I watched just two CL games this week, namely United away and Liverpool away.

I thought that United were the better team for long periods in their match and by rights should have won 2-1 or 3-1 were it not for poor finishing and bad officiating. Having said that, Inter certainly had enough chances for a win but it wasn't their night either.

Last night Liverpool were again solid without playing anywhere near their best, but still managed to grab an away goal. All without Gerrard and an below par and injured Torres. Real offered very little in the final third and were restricted to long-range shots.

Finally, NikosBg you should be on stage. You are without a doubt one of the most hilarious people I have ever encountered on the Internet. As you can imagine, you're up against some pretty stiff competition ;)

Objective comment is obviously not one of your strong points, but your knack of trotting out incorrect assertions based on a deeply-flawed (read absolutely brimming over with wrongability) analysis of a game is breathtaking to behold.

Have you considered a career with S*y Sports? :)
Benitez and Scolari face vital test 2:22pm on 31 Jan 2009 #94 - See my comment about reproducing! :P

#99:

"on the other hand seem to think that Alex Ferguson is even vaguely interested in the nonsense Benitez pulled out of his satchel"

Read my post again and please highlight where I even remotely infer such a thing.

I didn't, you can't. Kind of pointless you posting at all really, unless you count the wisecrack about Wigan at the end.

(I didn't by the way)
Benitez and Scolari face vital test 7:29pm on 30 Jan 2009 Writing as a Liverpool fan, if you'd have offered me our current points tally at the beginning of the season, I would have accepted gladly. Having said that, it is frustrating to realise that if we'd have taken all three points from the games where we were *supposed* to, then we'd be running away with it by now. It really is a confusing time to be a Liverpool fan.

I am a Benitez admirer, but I do wish that he would be a little more positive with his team selections. The games against teams like Wigan and Stoke City were crying out for a midfield of Riera, Masch, Alonso and Gerrard (on the right before you ask), with Torres and Keane up top. Admittedly I don't have my coaching badges but on occasions it appears that Rafa relies too much on what his computers tell him instead of using his own professional judgement and instinct. I back him, but would love to unplug his stat machines and tell him to "use the force" now and again.

Sticking with the Star Wars theme, I find it incredibly amusing that everybody seems to feel that the Sith Lord Darth Ferguson has mentally crippled Rafa Skywalker with his pesky mind tricks. What a load of smeg.

In summary:

1. There was no rant. Watch the now infamous Benitez clip again, then look up the word "rant" online. Not by any stretch of the imagination could it ever be considered a rant by anybody with even the most slender grasp of the English language. End of. However on reflection I do feel that he should have kept the sheet of paper in his Jedi cloak until the day after we'd just thumped a team. (At this rate that'll be just before the 2012 Olympics then.) :P

Oh and if you are one of the many people who used the phrase "Rafa's rant" and "Kevin Keegan" in the same sentence, then you're an idiot. Please don't procreate. Genetic dead-ends and all that.

2. Benitez has lost the plot? I think not. I do think that he's not at his best at the moment, but when you take into account the fact that he's recently undergone three operations for an extremely painful medical condition then it's understandable, albeit frustrating.

3. This post is now longer than Slur Alex's till receipt from the off-licence, so I'll leave it there.

If you would like to complain about any aspect of this post, please contact Ben Fogle courtesy of the BBC.

I'm not him by the way.

Liverpool send out title message 5:26pm on 27 Oct 2008 Having read some of the comments on this blog, I'm more convinced than ever that IQ tests should be performed before people are allowed to breed.

Then again, maybe not. We're always going to need people around to utter the immortal phrase of "Do you want fries with that?"

A nicely balanced blog, Phil. Kudos.
