Haha liverpool fans on RAWK really hate villa fans for not wanting Benitez dont they?

[Locke.]

Haven't been on there tonight, transfer forum is annoying me.

Is Rafa definitely not going to Villa then?

[King Gizzard]

I think it will be Hughes

Rafa lost it a bit when Pako left, didn't he?

[Locke.]

It definitely didn't help him, but I think if Benitez was working under owners here that were prepared to back him with a decent transfer budget that he would have been the person to win us our first Premier League.

He got ****ed around by them too much, he'd be promised a certain amount of money and when the time came to spend it it wouldn't be there. He made the odd dodgy signing but then there are signings like Torres, Alonso, Garcia, Reina, Mascherano, etc. And he has to be given most of the credit for all the youth players coming through into our team this season.

On average he spent about £70 Million over his 5 year stay.. so around £14 Million per year.

A bit less than £200 mil overall, but we brought in over £120 mil from selling players

[King Gizzard]

Well we deffinitely don't have those sorts of funds, and we've just got rid of a whole load of players that were clogging up the budget...

[Locke.]

You have got a much better youth system than what we had at the time though, and probably a better squad than what he inherited when he took over (no idea how we managed to win the champions league with that team).

He'd definitely have you back up challenging for the top 7 at least next season if he got the job.

Moyes is good as well though, I don't see any reason a manager as good as him would go to Everton if he leaves. No money, probably going to lose their best players this summer.. Going to be a tough season for them next year.

[King Gizzard]

Think they might do a charlton if he leaves

RANGERS have been offered the chance to sign German World Cup ace Torsten Frings.
The midfielder, 34, is looking for a new club after being told that he can leave Werder Bremen, although he has an offer to join their coaching staff.
But Frings wants to look at options which would let him play on and SunSport can reveal he's offered his services to Gers.
Boss Ally McCoist is considering him as an option.
He wants to add experience to his midfield and Frings had a magnificent career at the top level. He made 70 international appearances - playing in the World Cup in 2002 and 2006.
He's nearing the end of his career but it would be seen as a major coup for McCoist if he could lure him to Ibrox this summer.
Meanwhile, Gers target David Vaughan has opened talks with West Brom.
The Welsh international midfielder has been looked at by McCoist for a Bosman switch to Ibrox.
The 28-year-old has held talks with the SPL champs as well as Sunderland after his Blackpool contract expired.

Brad Freidel has signed for Spurs on a free transfer, looks like Arry is keeping Gomes as expected even if the guy is too inconsistent but is their best current GK by far at the moment.

As for Vaughan, he may be tempted by Champions League football and trophies with the Gers but it seems he may want to stay in the Premier League..

Diouf apparently keen on coming to West Ham so he can work with Allardyce again

[BBfanUSA]

One thing i am looking forward to this weekend is the friendly between Spain and USA the last time they two played against each other was the 2009 confederations cup semifinal and America SHUT THEM OUT 2-0 when Spain was #1 and Spain is again (game is taking place in America)

[bbfan1991]

Robin Van Persie denies making any negative comments about Chelsea and Barcelona(might be the press stiring). The comments about Chelski are understandable because that situation is a farce but the Barcelona ones.. bit ironic for him to call them ''moaners'', if he said that of course when the Arsenal fans have had rightly every right to have a go at their players over the collapse of the season for them which was looking promising until the collapse against Barcelona and the unfortunate last minute loss at Birmingham.

Barcelona are winners, Arsenal need to improve for next season and do better so should concentrate on themselves.

[BBfanUSA]

I found this not sure if this is actually possible but America could still get the 2022 world cup instead of Qatar

Here's the Article

[Shaun]

oh dear.

[Shaun]

oh, well there's one back

[Locke.]

Great game this

[Locke.]

Walcott is so poor

[Shaun]

meh. yet another 'meh' from england.

[Locke.]

Poor performance but we were without the 2 most important players. Will still win the group.

[King Gizzard]

Nice to see ITVand everyone on twitter blaming Bent. Not his fault Joe Hart, Ferdinand, Wilshere and Milner ****ed up bad for Switzerlands 2 goals

[bbfan1991]

Match was ****, glad I missed the second half by the looks of things!

[BBfanUSA]

USA v. Spain match is S*** as well

3-0 Spain at Halftime

I don't even think Donovan is playing

[Locke.]

Wouldn't matter if he was, he isn't as good as the Spanish players.

It is only a friendly anyway isn't it?

[Locke.]

Liverpool outcast Joe Cole is heading to Tottenham in a £3m deal after a year of disappointment at Anfield.

Spurs will give him a full medical assessment this week before finalising the move after a season wrecked by injury and lack of form.
