Anyone see his Stoke pre match conference? Defiant, made a "fachts" joke aimed at the media - made me laugh. Did not go down to well in the conference but what joke/banter does when no one else in the room likes you?

he had a twinkle in his eye, he looked broken after reading...

I've seen his Stoke pre-match interrogation, pulling the sheet of paper out of his pocket - copying what he did 12 months ago when he had the infamous Fergie rant.

He spent most of the time trying to suppress a smile, and I don't blame him for being a bit mischievous with the media. How many times does he have to face those morons asking him about his losing his job?

It would be difficult for Liverpool to sack him now, both financially (compensation) and because we're half way through the transfer window and a new manager wouldn't have much time to sign anyone.

However failure to finish in the top four will probably cost him his job in the summer.

But that won't be too much of a problem for him, since Juventus (& their new boardroom member) appear to be interested in his services.

Stoke 1-1 Liverpool

Liverpool stunned by Huth's late equaliser and then gutted by Kuyt's even later missed header.

Sammi Valentine, what did you think of Rafael Benitez's post match comment:
"The fans are amazing and if I decide to stay it will be because of them."

That's the first time that he has hinted that he may leave the club. Maybe he fancies that move to Juventus in the summer.

It was a bad translation of what he really meant The "london" press are all to keen, misqute and to jump on any anti liverpool/scouse bandwagon, as poor rafa has found out. That SKY journalist is so - lol.

Great Away support yesterday (me unlce said lol) and it sounded good on sky. A fighting performence, roll on wednesday!!

Arsenal defeated Bolton today 2-0, now they're one game away from their toughest stretch of games this season starting at Aston Villa, then home against Man U, at Chelsea, and then back home to face Liverpool. This stretch of games will probably make or break Arsenal's season. But first we have to make sure we take care of Stoke and not get ahead of ourselves. Gunners for life!

I can't believe William Gallas didn't get sent off for his stamp on the ankle of Davies (Bolton) in the lead up to Arsenal's second goal on Wednesday night.

And Wenger's defense of Gallas for a challenge that could've left Davies with a broken leg was a joke. Especially after what happened when Eduardo's leg was broken against Birmingham couple of seasons ago.

If Wednesday night's foul had been committed against Gallas, Wenger would have shot out of the dugout and paced up and down the touchline crying at the officials like the fg hypocritical ahole he has become.

He gets more and more like Fergie all the time. Next he'll start ranting and raving about the lack of stoppage time added on at the end of the match.

Manchester City fan here, starting to get worried by Liverpool's resurgence.

As long as the top 4 gets broken up I'll be happy. But I would obv prefer it if we got in.

I agree that the foul was bad and Gallas should probably have been booked for it, but i don't understand why people get so mad at Wenger when he says stuff like "I didn't see it so don't ask me". Either he calls out his own player in the press or he insults the ref for not seeing it. Im sure he told Gallas and the rest of the team what he actually thought about the foul, which is much better in my opinion then basically going behind his back and telling the press first.

Then again I am an Arsenal fan so I do have a bit of a bias.

Tough break for you today jenniferparisfan arsenal had me worried in the begining. Although i'd still let cesc fuck me lol. Nani was the it factor today. I thnk sir alex should play him and valencia as the 2 wingers. Defenses can't keep up with both at once.
