Liverpool's owners have been plunged into more chaos after a foul-mouthed email rant by director Tom Hicks Junior. The Texan told a Reds fan, who had written to the club to express his concerns over the financial future of the club: "Blow me **** face. Go to hell. I'm sick of you."

He's now resigned from the Liverpool board and the board of Kop Holdings.

Any unusual betting on that game?

Bingo, that was my initial thought aswell. The first goal in the comeback was particularly dubious.

It goes to show what a foolish decision it was to give the World Cup to South Africa. Criminal gangs will be planning their attack all year, betting, looting, theiving, kidnapping, shootings etc it will all happen.

You would be a fool to go to South Africa without thorough knowledge of the country and security. A lot of those going for a typical World Cup drunken-English-idiot experience are in for quite a shock.

Everton did gain an advantage because Denilson went down injured and nearly scored from it. It's obvious to anyone in that situation that they need to get play stopped rather than gifting the opposition a scoring chance.

Paulo Di Canio was a fine example of that

I wonder how he would react to the red card for deliberate hand ball?

A comment on the BBC Website:
"Mancini is a genius! Who else could have possibly foreseen the awesome defence-beating power of Benjani's mis-kicks?"

Another terrible away performance from Rovers.If I was a betting man i'd put money on us getting one of the relegation places with the way we are playing.

Probably why only 450 bothered to get a ticket to Eastlands then.

Were not the best of travellers at the best of times but our results away from home and the style of play BFS has us playing I'm suprised that much got tickets.

I can now see why the Newcastle fans on here were so glad when they got rid of BFS and looking at the Rovers messageboards the majority of fans want him out.
