They have to support the team. If we stick together, we can achieve what we want to achieve - the Champions League. If not, they can carry on singing but it will be in the Europa League.

As I said in the Chelsea thread, I don't disagree with anything he said (even if it was dumb to say it).

Rafa has always been outspoken... I'm sure he's thinking at the end of the season or tomorrow... I'm outta here..

Now only if he can manage to throw the rest of the season and somehow manage to sneak LFC in to the top 4 (I dont know)..

Bho wants Rafa to stay for stability if Jose doesn't come back to the Bridge.

I don't disagree with anything he said either, but I don't think it dumb to say. The fans have won at this point, he's obviously gone. What are they trying to accomplish at this point?

They need to get behind their team now. if they want to complain about a bad hire, surely Roman is the culprit, even if he is untouchable.

Never a good idea to lash out at your bosses midseason. The rant won't help him get his next job...

100% agree. Chelsea fans suck, which is nothing new. They've been spoiled and now have their priorities mixed up.

They don't protest Roman because they are scared he will leave their club with mountains of debt.

They celebrate the sacking of managers like it's a victory. It's something they are proud of.

If his results weren't complete shite maybe he wouldn't be getting so much flack. Hey FSW if you didn't suck arse people wouldn't still hate you as much.

Also, a Liverpool fan talking about other fans sucking, lol.

When Chelsea fans get the entire country banned from taking part in European competitions let me know. Pure Trash.

Yep, because he totally wasn't getting flack from the first minute of his debut.

Chelsea fans hated him from the moment he was hired. The dude would have had to win every single match while he was there to get them to shut up.

Don't you bring that logic in here.

Really? No kidding. Roman fired a former player that lead us to the UCL trophy and replaced him with a guy that had trashed Roman and Chelsea fans while Pool's coach. What would Man U fans do if they fired SAF tomorrow and replaced him with a coach that has jabbed them? They'd throw a shite fit. FWIW, I disagree with everything he said. I've not heard fans chanting negatively towards the players. Just Rafa. Rafa has put out a shite product week after week and the fans don't like it. If Rafa is mad, it should be at himself.

Speaking of Rafa, isnt that gif from when he subbed off Torres late in a game we needed to win?
