i couldnt care less about liverpools league position, i just dont want to see rafa get fired. although i do think hes a shitty manager right now, so were ferguson and wenger in the first few years, at least results wise.

Yeah, but Liverpool not being potential winners has nothing to do with Rafa. If anything he has got them closer than ever, they just don't ever have the players to do it.
He took them to the Champions League, but with the position they're in (and with disagreements with the new American owners already), he might end up another victim of the knee-jerk manager sackings that have been going on lately; I'd really hate to see him go, the Premiership has already lost two class acts in Jose and Allardyce.
its got a little bit to do with it i think. he has got them closer for sure, but theres a few questionable decisions hes made that you could argue have really hurt their season.
how would you guys rank the best 5 players in the world based on performances this season?
Sticking to the Premiership and from what I saw, probably Berbatov, Van Persie when he was healthy, Ronaldo even though he's get every bandwagon fan screaming how he's the best they've ever seen, I personally liked watching Drogba play, and in my Arsenal fanboyism, Adebayor.
I can't really say. I only really saw maybe two Spurs game, and Berbatov was pretty good.
I'm just used to getting booed for saying Adebayor. For some reason no one I've talked to respects him or even has heard about him. Probably need to talk to different people.
In football, fans tend to support or deny who they current climate is hyping.
England wanted Cristiano Ronaldo hung when Wayne Rooney got sent off in the England Vs Portugal game, but that has since changed, because despite the "Country before club" mentality people would have you believe, they subconsciously know that's bs.
I can almost guarantee that if I asked a hardened club fan what they'd prefer, it would usually be their club.
19 in all competitions. He hasn't scored in the CL but he hasn't always played.
Rio and Terry both called him their toughest opponent last season.
Flamini has been unbelievable this year. Literally beyond all expectations. I read on another forum, in a Man Utd thread, somebody saying 'I thought Flamini was shit?'.
Other than what it says about some Man Utd fans, it says a lot about how unheralded and stratospheric his rise has been.
Decent article, too.
