Poeple can make their own minds up, but one word I would not use for Liverpool fans is fickle, even the media agree that without the fans, Rafa would have gone oooo about 3 years ago.

Individual fans might complain, and I did about a month ago, but I forgot about the off field situations, debt, civil war and injury that we have had to deal with this year.

Basically Rafa could walk to Madrid tomorrow for a lot more money, but he doesn't want to, so respect to him for that. Think we will get top 4 this year, but I don't see a positive result at the weekend against City.

3 years ago after gettin 81 points and the fa cup you are on crack mate

No 3 years ago when the new owners came in. Shut up you retard, you know nothing, think only of happeneings on the field.

For you mate, the 6th of February 2007 when it was announced H+G were taking over from Moores, so I think I'm entitled to say "about 3 years ago" Absolute moron.

Anywayssss off to watch Ireland V France, Ireland 1-0 down to a fluky french goal and a string of miss chances, but hope somehow they can pull it around!!! Cmon Ireland!!!

3 years ago is 2006

Exactly, your a moron.

yeah but who would kick out a manager who had just won an fa cup and got 81 points finishing 9 points behind the leaders they would have been stupid

I just want to mention that our Belgian national team won 2 matches in a row. 2 matches!! In a row!! Unbelievable!

Great dive from Anelka.

Come on Ireland.

Offside and 2 hand balls! Dirty cheating French :@

Absolute disgrace, Henry is a dirty cheating rat. Hope they get pummeled in the world cup because that French team absolutely reek.

couldnt agree more

absolute disgrace, if they were the better team and deserved the goal and scored with cheating fair enough but that was blatent handball not once but twice! absolute disgrace

the whole of the Union was absolutely gutted, couldn't beleive it, the cheer when ireland scored was amazing everyone went sick hugging each other (most were England fans supporting Ireland for the day) well gutted for them.

And although Henry "cheated" it was instinct, and I know givewn the situation I'd have stuck a hand out as well. Its just the way it is. Was the refs fault, not Frances. nly seen one hand ball as well to be fair, Gallas headed it in.

Yeah you're spot on there.

Good to see that England fans were behind Ireland. I'm now behind England for the World Cup now that Ireland are out (I heavily fancied England to win this time around anyway)

I have lost alot of repect for Henry.

I and many over English football fans really liked and admired Henry when he played for Arsenal, this was mainly down to his honesty and personality that was different to any other foreign player that had played in the premier league for that reason and the fact that he was an amazing football player he was and still is in my opinion the greatest foreign player to grace the premier league although as i said i have lost alot of respect for him. Unlike many other strikers he was respected throughout the league..Strikers like Drogba are hated by most people (not including myself as i like him) for diving, cheating and being a dishonest striker aswell as drogba etc. people in England still hate Maradona for "the hand of god" that happened over 20 years ago although him and Drogba are class players people dont like them because of their manerisms but it was different with Henry!

Do you REALLY blame him for doing it? France, arguably one of the biggest nations of the world cup, yet to qualify, arguably minutes from being dumped out of the world cup however you look at it, the ball is going out you flick you arm at it, get it lucky your mate scores your through to the finals. I'm not a cheating footballer myself but if I was in that exact position and it happened to me, I wouldn't be too upset.

Really makes me laugh, how many British people sit there and say "cheat" "scum" "only win by the handball" etc... it's boring if we were in that position and Rooney, Keane, McFadden, Gerrard or even Terry there is no way we would be debating it.

Yes, Ireland were hard done by and they played with their heart on their sleeves, but that's just how football goes sometimes, I still love Henry as many others do good luck to the French, unlucky Ireland.

Well if you condone cheating thats up to you.

I said I don't blame him, not that I condone it. It's a split second reaction, how can you blame someone for that? Would you blame Jagielka or Saha if they did it, to win you the league?

At the end of the day everyone has their own opinion...I personally dont agree with it and if jags or saha done that for us we would always be known as "The team who won the league with a handball" and so it would be a hollow victory

Tell me did Phil neville cheat when he handled the ball off the line from a Lucas shot in the last minute?

He deliberatley prevented a goal, but you can't blame him as it was instinctive, reactions to do it, its not as if he dived, as he didn't have time to think about it, just flicked a hand at it to stop the ball going for a goal kick.

Yeah and i never said i agreed with the decidion did i? He got sent off and Liverpool scored from the resulting penalty.

Just too add its ironic because if Lucas would have scored that then a lot of Liverpool fans would love him now!
