I knew this was going to happen, of course. On some level, I think we all did. But I never thought it would be the Guardian. Especially not on a day when the Mail has a headline with the unnervingly sane beginning “Don’t write Liverpool off.”

9 question marks in an article that spans a handful of paragraphs – ugh. I want answers Guardian, not questions!
By the way, the Times have a piece on wether Benitez will be the first manager to be sacked this year… If the “serious” papers are already down there, I’d be affraid to even check the others…
Rumor: Arjen Robben to Liverpool. Good move, or desperation?
I have a cringing feeling that this is going to be the instantly cliched reaction, but isn’t he just about ideally adapted not to thrive within the English game?
I think that Rafa Benitez is plugging hisnose and popping his ears in that picture. The pressure must be getting to him
Soon we’ll be hearing about how Liverpool are out of the Champions League before they play a single match…
Re: Robben
The guy is a genius, but he needs to be in Spain or France or he won’t be worth a thing.
He’s made of glass.
re:robben.
had high hopes for babel the last couple of seasons, but i think its time to give him the boot. robben would fit in nicely in that slot.
Except that Robben has signed for Bayern.
