Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

we really have that "dead man walking" look about us now

I've abandoned you for Chelsea I'm afraid, this is rubbish. You misled me nv.

Chelsea hit post, are still rubbish

absolute fucking shit deserve to finish 21st

If Everton can beat Spurs next, Liverpool-Everton on Tuesday night will be a straight fight for seventh.

explain the scouse mafia out thing plz

Steve Morgan is from Liverpool anyway. I'm sure he has friends.

Three losses in a row for the first time since 2003 apparently - that doesn't sound right.

^ reference to newcastle's anti mike ashley's protest surely

well yeah

1-0 everton. kaboul lets osman (?) get past him far too easily, squared for jelavic who scores on his goodison debut.

Spurs apparently haven't lost three in a row since the glory days of Juande Ramos.

can't imagine a team worse at set plays than spurs right now.

hmm, walker gets away with a kick out, so he might be banned for a few games

sahahahaha

happy st teeteringham's day

Decent effort by Spiders at the end there but they looked a bit toothless ultimately. Everton are effective though - wouldn't want to be a team on a poor run facing them at the moment.

the end was pretty entertaining in a frantic, nervous laughter kind of way

Jeez, if Liverpool lose on Tuesday we could in theory be bottom half of the table by the time we play again.

Time to jump ship, IK. Come over to the dark side.

Get thee behind me, Satan

Ismael's joke apostasy is one of my favorite things about ILF in 2012.

comparing Liverpool this season and last

2010/11 6th 39 points 11 wins 35 goals

2011/12 7th 39 points 10 wins 30 goals

30 goals?! I hadn't noticed it was anything like that bad.

15 home, 15 away

lol home, lol away

at least their shitness is symmetrical

Van Persie has 30 goals in all competitions this year, same number as Liverpool in the league.

Long live King Kenny!

If only he could read.

Harry must stay, surely?

This piece on Villas Boas is good on the dysfunctionality at Chelsea, and where loyalties lie. The summer there is going to be fascinating, especially as I can't think who might actually end up in the job. Rafa really does seem like the obvious candidate now.

wishful thinking from a scarred Liverpool fan?

Maybe. He'd be a poor fit for the other half of what Abramovich wants to achieve, other than being great at knock outs, but he'd be good for cutting out the dead wood. I had been coming round to the idea of his having another go at Anfield, but he can't wait around forever and there aren't many other elite candidates for the Chelsea job. Capello would be an even less attractive option you'd think.

Villas-Boas knew he was running out of time but although the decision to sack him was made within minutes of the match ending at the Hawthorns last weekend, Roman Abramovich agonised until the early hours of Sunday morning about whether he should give the young Portuguese, whom he admired and liked, one more game.

Abramovich had been agonising for weeks, ever since he turned up unannounced at the training ground to observe the manager at work and gauge the mood in the camp. Chelsea went on to throw away a three-goal lead against Manchester United and lose miserably to Everton on Feb 11. Abramovich changed his mind that evening. He decided that maybe, as some in his so-called 'golden circle’ had been arguing since the international break in early September, Villas-Boas could not carry on.

Pure fiction? No one knows what Abramovich thinks about anything.

Rafa for Spurs obv. Reckon its a better 'project' for him.

He's got a twitch. If Wenger behaved like that it would be back page news.

gotta be dalglish out, don't know a liverpool fan who thinks differently. the whole "he can't be sacked" thing is just from your ilx-style "i fear my shoes are developing a sense of entitlement" person. obv there's a hardcore in liverpool who might disagree but i foresee no controversy in the forthcoming shuffle upstairs with "i did a job for the club when they needed me".

just please, no rafa. they have the money and imo aren't miles off having the players to do well.

i've thought all along he'd be shoved into a Director of Football type position soon enough. his appointment always felt like a placeholder, tho a placeholder was probably v. necessary at the time.

Haha what are you talking about?! I did think that tbf (and about Kenny, not the shoes) until Fenway eventually stepped in over the handshake thing. Now I agree with nv though, paradoxically, I think he's got to win the FA Cup for it to happen, because it'd be a nightmare to have him upstairs feeling like he's got unfinished business. Fortunately, he will.

The only silver lining to yesterday

would bet my house on liverpool losing this

LG still has a roof over his head.

never in doubt!

tbh I think Dalglish probably has enough humility and enough love for the club that he'll happily step aside when the appropriate time comes
