GH was just asked if 'he' was worried about his job.
His answer was;
"#avfc A: I belong to this exclusive private club of four people under great pressure and I'm delighted to be in such company"

Taken from matt kendricks twitter!
GH never ceases to amaze me, just when I think he can't more stupid he does!
Nice to see that he's taking our plight seriously!

We have our top scorer from last season completely frozen out, and our second top scorer playing on the wing.

Remind me again when things are going to get better under Houllier.  14 points from 16 games is beyond humiliating.

Didn't Carew tell Houllier that he wasn't fit enough when given a place on the bench?

Do you think houllier will survive the sack if we turn you over at st andrews in ten days time?
I'll tell you something for nothing, you can thank your lucky stars the game isn't at Villa Park. If it was you'd likely see a repeat of 03.03.03. There's a similar kind of atmosphere building up and it ain't pretty.

No the end of the world but it must be his way of dealing with stress to be facetious under pressure.

In case you haven't noticed, there's a certain amount of tension building up, very similar to the 02/03 season.

Give him a transfer window. Lets face it, any of us could have scored the sitter Heskey missed the other night, its hardly Houllier's fault if we're spunking easy chances. Gabby hasnt managed one single league goal this year and the less said about Carew the better. Its not Houllier's team and lets face it, the warning signs were ominious towards the end of last season - anyone who went to the last couple of games last season - Birmingham excepted- can tell you that. I don't care who is our  boss, the players are letting us down and should be putting in a bit more fight and effort - which should be expected of them whoever the manager is.

I was listening to Talksposrt earlier and a scouser rang in to combat the "its not roys team" excuses. He said... is Newcastle team Pardews team... is Blackburns team Steve Keans team?

he was right.... The manager motivates the players and thats the problem at VP....

I do agree but if you're spurning easy chances out on the pitch then other teams are going to make you pay eventually - and the same thing happened to BFR's team, infinitely superior on paper to our currnent team and playing more attractive football but useless in front of goal.

With 5,000 tickets sold for the match tomorrow, if the fans turn on GH, it is going to sound depressingly loud.
