Do you think the pair hold previous words against each other now? Taking swipes is what you do when you are rivals for the same trophies, Jose has taken swipes at us since his departure on more than one occasion, especially during the build up and shortly after our CL tie with Inter.

I want Lampard to stay as much as the next Chelsea fan, but can we use the with and without result's this season to prove his importance? The start of our bad run coincided with Azpilcueta coming into the team, and he wwas arguably our only shining light during that bad run.

The Thaibut signing suggest's that the rumours of him having to retire early may actually be true, signing the Belgium would have been pointless else.

Were in good form, QPR have been crap all season, anyone who is anyone is predicting us to hammer them. I have seen (and played in) these type of games many a time and it rarely goes the way of the formbook. I can see us scoring early, getting all complacent and holding on at the end.

What he actually said what he would not quit Liverpool for Chelsea, as he was linked in Mourinho's last days, he never said anything about never ever taking that job.

Is this on Sky Sports?

me i joke, Sheva

@rafafan, What reception is he likely to get on April 20th at Anfield? I assume a roaring one? If he does what Houllier did and touches the 'this is Anfield badge' then his relationship with Chelsea fans will be broken beyond repair.

The worst moment was Naples. Thing's looked so bleak that night. The worst performance of 2012 was at Everton in February, that performance was terrible in every single aspect.

Hazard is on a long contract which will be extended after a couple of years most probably. If he progresses as expected it will take huge money to prise him away and Roman invest's without a player sale, so i think it's safe to say if this Real Madrid dream is true what we make for him will be reinvested straight back into strengthening the team. I don't want him to leave but what will be will be, it won't happen for a few years at the very worst so enjoy him, he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

--------------------Turnbull----------------------- Azpi--------Luiz---------Ivanovic------Bertrand -------------Mikel--------Ramires---------------- Moses------------Oscar-----------------Hazard --------------------Ba (if signed)---------------- Need to rotate a bit, give Mata a rest, Luiz back to CB, (if we apply ourself's properly the defence will effectively be a second midfield anyway), rest Lamps, bring Moses and Mikel back in.

To think some fans resorted to stripping his legend status after the dismissal of AVB. After realizing Lampard wasn't the villian some assumed, you would have thought lesson's would have been learnt the next time we changed manager's.

Torres played a part in getting Mata here. Would it be easier if we pretend we spent £74m on Juan?

I doubt he has been told he will be number 2, its absolutely cringe worthy if he has.

Roman wanted to make this change in the summer, he appointed Robbie because of the fans, if it was Di Canio or someone like that who had no connection with the fans he would have been gone regardless of Munich. Now tell me, who else was available and ready for work better than Benitez? McLeish? he will have you pining for Scolari. Redknapp? He will have us resigning Joe Cole and loads of other shower. Name me one better manager that we could have got in such short notice? If Hiddink was a free agent then i could maybe understand the annoyance but their was no one better around. It wasn't perfect under Robbie, far from it, i would not have sacked him so soon myself, but we were conceding goals left, right and centre and the way WBA lost their way in RDM's final days will have concerned Roman. But anyway, Robbie will have a successful career now his stock is up, because of us he has gone for being turned down by Birmingham City to linked with Valencia.

Rafa was signed because he was the best around that was available and ready for work , nothing to do with Torres.

Ever since Courtios was signed i was wondering if the sad rum-our that Cech might have to retire early is true. If not then signing Courtios would have made absolutely no sense.

Does that mean we can say Liverpool brought him for us if he flops

Then after a few performances it went too far the other way. Ba will prove to be a good signing, if we can get Falcao in the summer even better.

If Mourinho and Pep end up in Manchester (that is possible) i reckon Rafa is one of the very very few that can prevent us from falling way behind both clubs. Why search the globe for a high profile manager (most likely with no PL experience) when we have got one already.

Houllier left the academy in a dire straight, Rafa transformed it and infact brought in the players Brendan Rodgers is promoting today.

Its not even the results, i done a bit of reserch and actually listened to what good Liverpool fans had to say about him. What is swinging it for me is the work he did at the academy in Liverpool.

Fuck it im just going to go out and say it. Give him the job.

He does if you look closely makes some crazy tactical decision's, his defending for Holt's chance I am a big believer in credit where it's due however and he was outstanding today.

Wiki says he scored 13 goals this season, are they including his two against Arsenal?
