Or did they? There is little doubt that a significant number of Liverpool fans turned against Benitez in recent weeks. After the Boro defeat there was a huge majority of Liverpool fans calling time-up for Benitez (on the elctrionic airwaves that is). Has all that changed with 2 games in 5 days? Either the answer is yes or most of the doubters have opted out of the debate. Interesting to see how it unfolds but as I say...everyone has gotten what they wanted! ;) It looks like everyone got what they want then! Or did they?

Jofrad Look at the attendances/size of the ground when Fergie took over and you will see that we have higher attendance because of expansion of the ground. Also Rafa not having a huge budget is a myth. He's spent about 200m since taking over, mainly on shite. This summer he bought Dossena and Keane for a combined 26m, what have they done? I'm sure he spent more this Summer, I just can't think of the players Bob

Maybe it is you who should do some homework. Liam: United finished 4th in 85-86, and were NEAR the relegation zone in November of 86, nowhere near the end.

Home gate circa 44,000 c/f United 65,000 plus. Liverpool will have to sold before July or be reposessed by the banks. The money to buy the club & Torres was borrowed. Get real my friend. Rafa has done a good job (and I haven't even mentioned the European Cup in his first season). PS If you tell people to shut up you shouldn't be visting this site. What huge budget ??

Jofrad-since you clearly did all of your homework you must know that when SAF took over United were in the RELEGATION ZONE, not 4th in the league with a huge budget and already some fantastic players. Fergie's achievement in todays terms would be like Newcastle or Spurs winning the league 10 timesin the next 15 odd years so kindly shut up. Rafa has turned a 4th placed team into a 3rd placed team spending about €200m in the process He’d want to be getting better with the amount of money he spends…

If i where a United fan i wouldn't be getting so cocky, its not beyond Fulham to snatch a point. Lets wait and see how they react first. This is fantastic news, each year Liverpool get better and better under Benitez and im sure the next four seasons won't be any different. you don’t win trophys in March, FACT.
