Liverpool

The hullabaloo at Liverpool over the past week or so has been blown out of proportion -- and I'd have written this even if Tom Hicks hadn't come out today with this somewhat reassuring statement. Hicks and Gillett aren't mugs, and it would have been madness for them to get rid of Rafa, which is what the silly British press . The team is on the up, unbeaten in the league, and with its two best passers (Alonso and Agger) yet to return; sacking the manager would upset the supporters and the players, lead to even more instability, cripple our best chance in years of winning the league title, and prove financially disastrous because of all the above.

Rafa threw a not entirely unjustified tantrum, the owners reacted, and Rafa backed down. Let's hope both parties can reconcile and resume working towards the good of the club and the team.
