Eh? the prem only formed in 1992.

But here's another trivia question. Which three current players have played in the EPL every year since then?

Just Googled Ossie and not bloody far out.

The 3 curerent players. Ryan Giggs, David James and someone else

Giggs, David James, and Sol Campbell?

Harumph.

Yes.

<I've just beaten this out of my son who asked me that yesterday, he got it from watching The Score>

Oi - less of the "manure" - which references the deaths of players. If you want to be disrespectful join the forum of your own team and rant and rave there. But since this thread is for forum members who support all teams I would ask that insulting terms not be used.

And the "comprehensively beaten" remark - did you watch the games - lots of very iffy reffing totally changed the results. Eg. Drogba's offside goal.

No, (well, no more than his customary £100k+ a week anyway) but like every right thinking scouser he wont be weeping into his pillow about what was a shocker of a backpass.

I wonder how many backpasses he makes over the course of a season? Im thinking its not that many...conspiracy theorists of the world unite...

Of course I wasn't suggesting there were any kickbacks for kick backs!

Let's hope he has a better season next year! This year wasn't his best.

Lets hope the turnaround starts BEFORE next season, given this summers events

So is Rafa staying? There's conflicting reports.

Delaying tactics, hedging his bets...

Thats the $6m question

With no funds from ownership he probably doesnt want to stay, but they cant afford to fire him.

With new ownership and funds he would probably want to stay, but they would probably take the loss and bring a new man in...

Right now I think he doesnt know!


Id say with the amount the ownership want, hes staying, but only cos Juve cant afford to buy out his contract either...

I have mixed feelings about the whole thing, there are probably not that many managers out there better tactically, but his buying record sucks, and we clearly need to buy!

Juventus balk at €30m fee for Liverpool boss Benitez; Roberto Mancini linked

I wonder if having Rafa in place is seen as an asset in terms of attracting new ownership, or whether they would be more likely to attract a buyer without him.

A year ago he was (I think) clearly an asset, but his stock has fallen a long way over one poor season. Do managers have a "best by" date and expire? SAF would appear to be an exception to that idea, but then few others ever get the opportunity to be in place for a long time (Wenger and ?????).

Liverpools glory years seem to coincide with managerial continuity... but is that chicken or egg I wonder.

Less of the Manure fans singing 'Arsene Wenger's a paedo', and other disgusting songs, and maybe other team's fans would stop singing about Munich.

Drogba would have been off-side if a Chelski player had passed the ball to him.

I was at Highbury when Gerrard gave the ball to Henry. Alledgedly, he's also done exactly the same for Henry in an England v France match.

I Know great wasn't it.
Remark above is in regards to Drogba's offside, Before you resume whining.
