Scousers talking about building a statue to him. Everything you say is true, but the record will show he’s just won one champions league and one premier league. Where’s the statue for Benitez. Yes they’ve won the title, but this is Liverpool, past managers were winning back to back titles, winning one title is pretty much the minimum requirement. Not winning one title would have been a failure. Should he be a legend for achieving the minimum?

I know that’s unfair cos he was up against Pep and probably would’ve won more without him, but that’s the reality. You don’t get statues for coming second place.

Bit of a nearly man really. They nearly won back to back champions leagues. They nearly won the quadruple. That would have been proper legendary status. There’s some parcelled universe where those thighs came to pass. But it’s not this universe. 

Of course, if he wins the quadruple this season, we’ll see. His story isn’t finished yet. 

Becoming manager of Everton makes a statue at Anfield a difficult sell

two bowlers with 7-fors to win 2 tests on the same day

incredible

These two have both improved their averages. Time for them to go now.

And Keir Starmer was the Director or Public Prosecutions when cases were brought to court.  But says he didn’t know it was happening.

It doesn’t matter what your political persuasion or bias is, no-one comes out of this looking good.

Almost all the prosecutions were outside the remit of the Crown Prosecution Service. They were brought privately by the Post Office, as it weirdly has the right to do.

And West Indies beat Australia by 8 runs.

brilliant

nice

I have to say, I've only still got this on cause I've paid a tenner. My attention is drifting.

bit of a mess so far

All true, Wildsmith had pen in hand to sign a new contract but wouldn't put the date on it. Warne lost it and slammed an anvil down on his fingers.

Did he get the anvil from the Acme Corporation?

Still no Wildsmith ffs.

Any ideas where man of the match elder is? I'm guessing a slight knock?

See you at full time.

Unless, of course, we win.

I had to look this one up  so won't say anything. I remember the player well but not for us.

In hindsight he's right, however few of us thought that at the time. I thought Clowes decision was correct at the time and for quite a while afterwards. Its this season really that I've changed my mind

I think there were a lot of people who thought it was the wrong decision.

Yes I'm sure McGoldrick, Hourihane, Jagielka, Mendez-Laing, etc etc all signed because of the huge wages we were offering...

Indeed. But not sure what your point is. My reply was to someone saying that the reason young players are not signing in this transfer window is Warne. None of the players you listed fit that particular demographic.

Where's the new signings? Warne is the problem when it comes to attracting players, particularly young players who like to play possession football 

Money is the problem when it comes to attracting players. Have you missed the last couple of years?

No point in derby having corners 

There was one especially egregious on where it was rolled 10 yards along the touchline to a marked Mendez-Laing, whist everyoner else waited in the box for the ball that never came.

Our corners have been terrible today

There's not much point in a Mendez Laing that can't run

What crap does Barker come out with on commentary. 

this crap: 'If there's a touch, it's a penalty.'
