George, Georgie, Big G, the ol Gil, Lord LFC, the yank to thank, the cereal killer, (that’s plenty)… When will you ever learn?
If the simple facts of European Football Transfer Policies are too difficult to master, how on earth will you ever get to grips with the ins and outs of the British Media?
There is a rumour that you’re popping up on Talkshite Radio next week to chat about Rafa. Well for a start I’m not sure you’re that naive, but if you are, let me introduce you to a couple of wee facts.
Talksport is disliked by Liverpool fans. Yes I think I speak for all of them. Firstly it had Kelvin MacKenzie at the helm, yes he of the lying Sun. Then since he left, its managed to sink its reputation (if possible) by being just plain ol rubbish. It hypes itself more than a Robbie Williams CD but basically it talks shite. Hence the name.
Not that endearing yourself to the Liverpool fanbase is your first concern, but surely it must be a consideration? Surely someone in your entourage is media savvy enough to say “Look boss, Talksport is a gutter tabloid form of radio and is known for being both boring and salacious (an Italian sausage) at the same time - a unique skill that takes years of talking bollocks to achieve, so don’t pop up on it and instantly get rid of the remaining goodwill you might have had with the fans”
Of course, I would recommend other media outlets if Mr Gil wanted to front a charm offensive. But who? Well I would’ve said 5Live on the BBC but they seem to hire liars regularly and most of the whoppers on 606 are just out for the day before the men in the white coats gently lead them back safely home to the self-hugging jacket.
But why speak out anyway? What’s to be gained by justifying your views on our manager? Surely enough people have said (and I’ve heard them) “Liverpool don’t wash their dirty linen in public”. Leave that to small clubs, like Newcastle for example. hee hee.
Why not have a proper talk with Mr Benitez, and both of you make a joint statement (even through white pearly gritted teeth) and point out to the world everything is fine, it was a big misunderstanding and Peace and Goodwill to all men.
Rafa may have been naive in initiating this public slanging match. Don’t you go making it worse.

Hick and George does not need to give interview to anyone outside the club. They need to keep peace at home and support Rafaulation. Everyone related to Liverpool Football CLub have to believe in each other. We have made very good start in the league it can be the year for the arrival of NUMBER 19.
