How do you celebrate a kit deal do you buy a replica shirt?

Haha, I actually mentioned it earlier on in the same post you quoted me on:

"Of course, the larger problem is the lack of points on the board in the previous games too."

6-pointers are all great and everything, but beating the smaller teams is where the real points are at. The sad thing is, it's actually hard to say that we've been inconsistent, because when it comes to home games against lesser sides, we've been very consistent - we've been drawing nearly all of them!

Aah! Thought it said Kilt deal!

Kenny the Scot brings kilts to Anfield?

Maybe that could give us the upper hand - just flash the carillon and go past your defender?! grin

And United lost to Blackburn at home, was on the wrong end of a 6-1 humiliation at the hands of City, again at home, and exited the Champions' League with barely a whimper. Do they deserve to lead the EPL table?

A few games in isolation are not what determine the quality of a team. It's not that we lost at Stoke City - many top sides do each season. It's that we've underperformed against a host of such sides. One or two bad results won't affect the season. We've won 1 in the last 8 league games, and only two of those games can be considered to have been "easy" - Bolton and Wolves away. Losing to Bolton isn't the problem. the problem is the fact that the other 6 games in the sequence only yielded 2 points.

Fair points, I guess I must have missed that in the same post! And I still haven't worked out how to use the 'quote' function properly.

thundyr, I think you and me are arguing the same point, when it comes to form in the league (although Man Utd have got a brilliant record against the lesser sides). I could have just copied and pasted a list of the 18 games we've either lost or drawn in the Premier League, but that's kinda boring - my post was intended to be a summary of the reasons why we're so poor in the league this year and I couldn't include all of the bad results.

losing tonight would just assure everyone both kk faithfuls and not so kk faithfuls that we need another coach, sacking him now wouldnt make any sense but im in fear that the team gets a few wins in the remainder of the season and we are back to square one with everyone shouting long live kenny. at the end of the day no one wants to see lfc drop out of fa cup but if we do win everyone would be saying kk is the man for the job (which he isnt). i just hope based off our results a deal could be struck with Rafa (my 1st choice) or another top coach to take over at the end of the season irregardless of the outcomes.

how would LFC be doomed. i want to ask you a couple of questions
1. did you enjoy watching lfc play under rafa in comaprison to now
2. the biggest names to pass through LFC door in the last decade outside of SG how did they get here.
3. the last time we competed for the title who was the manager
4. If rafa was in charge do you think we could get Javi martinez carzola navas or salgado(the goal proacher we desperately need)
5. the reason rafa left after the poor season that we were placed 6th not 7th was because he wanted funds from the "old" owners and refused to carry on in the position he was in.

We can all say he destroyed the club or we only look forward but forward to what all the summer signings were bought for the long run and as long as kenny there they are going to be played you think if rafa was here we couldnt of got mata
