Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's brave based on any ground-breaking conclusions or evidence he's come up with, more that he's willing to publish something like that online given the vitriol that usually comes when anyone writes anything that might not be seen as favourable about one of Liverpool FC's favoured sons.

Maybe he's done well to sneak it out while the Davies non-story is still ongoing.

Wilson's a good journo so any piece he writes will always be interesting and of decent quality. It's surprising to see somebody write a piece that's actually informative talking about Liverpool, most seem to be filled with sly digs towards players or staff. Still, I imagine Wilson has been restricted in how long he can write his pieces as I imagine he'd write something a little longer with more detail if he could.

An individual of little class, who obviously believes he still has it as a manager, more so now in his current role as he was the Messiah when he played there and thinks he can still do no wrong.

His attitude in post match press conferences has been the same for a while now it would seem, with the "do anything except kiss my @rse and say we're a brilliant team or I'll get the huff" outlook. His players never do anything wrong, it's never their fault, etc etc.

To be honest, Kenny could stand there in his post match interviews showing the digit throughout and I wouldn't care. Kenny Dalglish classless? Of course he is. This is whilst he's being interviewed by that prime tw*t Andy Burton. Post match pressers are daft and only seem to be there so Sky can get in there with their wooden spoon.

To be fair, he can show class and dignity when it suits him - he just seems to react badly every time he's interviewed at the moment. Apparently he's a laugh a minute on the golf course.

What is wrong with Dalgleish? He comes across as a complete and utter fool. What was his post match press conference about? None of the questions were insensitive or challenging or made to trick him into reacting. Just standard post game questions.

Are there any questions about mental illness with Kenny? His behaviour in front of the microphone is just utterly bizarre. It's like he's being verbally attacked and he doesn't know whether to cry or beat the interviewer up. His lines about the interviewer not being at the press conference for the semi final because he's not been invited was just so silly and childish.

Kenny said to Burton that he wants to focus on the performance of his team and not the red card, so what does Burton ask him, "What did you make of the sending off, Kenny".

Can't stand that Burton. Best thing was Jamie Carragher owning him at Wembley.

Whether you like him or not, Dalglish's behaviour towards Burton last night was unprofessional, pathetic and disgusting.

To ignore a question and go past him to acknowledge someone off camera is bizarre, as his telling him live on TV he won't be invited to a subsequent press conference. The man is a fool.

I don't think you can really make that assumption based on his reaction to questions about football. From what I understand Daglish is a very warm and likeable gent.

Has to be Everton's best chance of winning a derby since erm, well, the last one....
Here's hoping a) they don't bottle it as they usually tend to do or b) the ref doesnt ruin the contest with a daft sending off a la Goodison this season.

Will Atlético do their usual doggy trick and roll over for Madrid? I'll go Real Madrid to win 3-1.

Probably. I will happily sit through the dullest 0-0 ever if that's what it takes though.
