Oh dear. What next, are you going to get your dad to post on your behalf?

You regularly do it. You regularly sit up there making sweeping comments about Liverpool fans and try and stir the pot as though you're so perfect. Liverpool fans take all sorts of criticism of their team, same on RAWK and many other forums. What they don't take is weightless idiocy. People saying things like "your team is a pot of sh*te, accept it this is fact". It's just stupid and the moment somebody rises, you're in there with the usual sh*te. Every week on BBC sport there are texts and tweets from people saying "Liverpool need to realise they're a mid-table side now", etc. We've had it since Rafa's last season, yet people still say it.

So, because somebody is found guilty of something, it means that's it? I've gone through so many situations in life where I've had to defend people found 'guilty' (on different levels) of things. If everybody just accepted something, what would be the point in anything?

Why not? Good young winger who will get better.Just the type of player Fergie could develop imo.

For one thing, Fergie won't be there to develop him, secondly, i don't know what it is but i have a feeling that Sterling will be another one of those promising players (he's played 15 PL games and ONE England cap let's not forget) who gets lauded as a massive prospect but never makes it. The whole wage demands thing too makes me wonder if his head's in the right place, though it could have been his agent more than him who was making the demands. For once, i don't think it's my anti-LFC bias taking over

anyway, we'll have Ronaldo back by then

Sterling looks very very good to me, agents do what agents do, so he will have said all the right things to club and player to get him the most money possible, but he is in the same brackets as someone like Cleverley where they have become very rich, very high profile young men without actually having achieved much is the game other than 20 PL appearances and a couple of caps.

Re Ronaldo & Mourinho for that matter, the tie tees up lots of talk about both of them for the next few weeks, Evra is telling him he should come home already

Sounds very Liverpool to me.

This love in between Ronaldo and Man Utd is getting a little nauseating.

Would he be as good as before if he went back?. Would he give up the fantastic wage,lifestyle and weather of Spain for rainy North West again?.

Also given he thinks he's a bit of a glamour puss if a team in London,Paris or Milan threw their hat in the ring he wouldn't consider them as well?

Before anybody mentions Van Persie moving up north would he have done it had Arsenal won the Premier league or the F.A cup a few times?...he wants medals at this stage of his career...medals Ronaldo already has.

Why WOULDN'T he be as good as before? He's gotten better since moving to Real. Also, it's more in hope than expectation that we'll get him back

What a strange post.

Just watching the Wigan/Arsenal game and again a referee totally ignores a blatant handball.....Gibbs puts his hands up to protect himself and yet the ref ignores it.

I'm pretty sure he'd have give it if it had been at the other end.
