I'm sure Sam won't be getting any off Fergie after a few bottles of red.

Might be Benitez who needs a bit of vino after that effort.

Absolutely nothing we could have done today. 10-0-0 from Fulham from the 1st minute, they even had a free kick at the end and decided to run to the corner with the ball, you wouldn't believe they're a premier league side their tactics are so small time.

I probably come across as bitter but I was hoping for a bit of a game today, Fulham came, put every player inside or just outside the box, it was embarrassing to watch Fulham come to our ground to block. We should have won, we're a much better side than them but there was literally nothing we could have done against that, they literally built two walls in front of the box and refused to budge. That's our 4th chances all gone, I thought our subs could have been a bit more adventurous but it wouldn't have made any difference, Fulham got what they came for and Hodgson will be branded a hero for showing a complete inability to get his side to play football.

Doesn't really help Rafa's claims of 'three top quality players', does it? The money gained via CL qualification would have gone a long way to helping him get those players. Even if fresh investment comes in; would you give that man £60m after the season we've had this year?

I can't see the board giving him anywhere near that, but then again I think Benitez knows that full well.
Who would you ship out to raise some funds?

Haha we wouldn't of got any players without selling mate, any money would of gone to the debt that these two have put on the club.

Biggest summer in LFC's history in my lifetime thats for sure.

Do you think you'd get more than 30 million for all of those together?

I hope we get took over, it'll be a few years too late but it's better late than never. Even if we didn't get the money for qualifying for the CL, the draw of CL football is a large one, I'm sure Man City will have a great summer this year once they qualify for the CL. We'll probably have to had a bit more money on for wages/signing on fees now we don't have CL football, and who's to say 'top players' will want to come and play Europa league football, if that?
