I'm confident he would most likely give us until the end of next season and decide whether to stay or leave depending on our progress next season.

If we can get back into the CL this season or maybe win the europa league or the FA cup then I am absolutely confident pepe will stay. Then he'll probably look at how the squad looks after the summer transfer window and have a season to assess the situation. But even then I don't think he can leave easily.

 A logical man would definitely do this if he also loves the club....

This picture says it all.  The best goalkeeper in the world congratulating the second best goalkeeper in the world, despite the latter keeping the former out of a World Cup Final appearance.
He should be our captain, every day of the week, he's head and shoulders a leader and a fighter.

Pepe really should be captain.....over the past few months, he's shown a passion and dedication to the club that the likes of Carragher could learn from.
From his stupid, ugly, pug-faced, smarmy, poncing, play-acting, Oh-look-at-me greasy hair to his crybaby, stupid, cheating, dirty antics he can fuck off the horrible little poodle faced gazumpadum.

He has said more about the old owners shown more raw passoion for this club than the other 24 players combined.  Would have loved the player I'm talking about to be Gerrard or Carragher, but alas, they aint even close.

Pepe is our true captain and our true leader.

Class Act.

Just read something on the official site about a young lad who is ill visting the club last week.

Pepe gives him the big, "Take care my friend" and a wave as the team is heading in from a practice session that the kid is watching. Little lad was made up by it according to his Ma.

I love that shit. Costs nothing to be genuine and kind.

Pepe is a true Legend.
From here on in its all FSG's doing. Good or bad they will stand or fall by the decisions they have made in the summer of 2012. Lets hope they have gotten it right.

Casillas wrote the prologue for Pepe's book and it's been made public on the book's website.  I translated an excerpt of the prologue where Casillas talks about Pepe.

"...The way it was demonstrated by those who enjoyed the least amount of minutes of playing time during the World Cup.  Everyone contributed and in what ways.  Just like Pepe Reina himself.  He is a very important person in this team.  Many times I’ve tried putting myself in his shoes and I realize that it cannot be easy. To go from being first-choice in your club and enjoying the caliber of seasons like he's had at Liverpool, conceding the least amount of goals in the league four out of five years, to the national team, not getting the amount of minutes that he could be playing. It’s complicated.  I don't know whether I could assimilate it as well as he does.

Today, the word team-mate has been left behind.  He has become a friend.  He always looks to help the team and each individual player.  He comes to you with advice, for a chat, or to comment on whatever.  And this 'whatever' was a key for us to qualify to the semifinals.  Without his contribution I could not have saved the penalty against Paraguay.

That day, before the quarterfinal match, whether it was by chance or not, he told me very clearly.  He sat next to me and described the way Cardozo takes his penalties.  Sometimes these things are said very casually or some details are looked over.  Yet this time it wasn't the case.  Like he says, at the end of the day it comes down to the person in goal to decide which way to dive for the ball. Although, it’s clear, every bit of help is welcome.  And the help that a team-mate can offer you is always big.

I had no choice: whether it felt right, or just because, I wanted to thank him in public and in private for his contribution to our qualification to the semis against Germany.  The private message also counts.  It's not all about doing it publicly or in front of your team-mates.  It must be done face-to-face with the person.  He deserved it.  Pepe will be a manager one day.  He understands football very well and he likes to watch as many games as possible.  He loves the sport and he doesn’t hide it.

Having Pepe around is a life insurance.  As is having the goalposts covered the way Spain does.  I'm not talking about myself here but about both my team-mates during the World Cup, with their permission.  I have no doubts whatsoever that they are amongst the best in the World.  Victor Valdes has been putting together some magnificent seasons at FC Barcelona. Sensational.  I'm not making any discoveries here. As for Pepe Reina, more of the same.  The problem arises when the bar is set so high.  From that moment forth, you're demanded the same standard or better.  If you lower it, it's no good at all.  It's great competition.  It helps us all not to rest on our laurels..."


 Here's the penalty Cardozo took against Liverpool

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/b47c822v3_A" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/b47c822v3_A</a>

Obviously the one against Spain was a a bit shit because it wasn't as hard or as close to the post as the one against Liverpool but the idea was the same (Low and to the keepers left)

Spain have Casillas, Reina and Valdez for the goalkeeping spot. Iniesta, Xavi, Alonso, Fabregas and Busquests for the central midfield. Villa, Torres, Llorente and Pedro as strikers. It's just taking the piss. They have the world's best everything pretty much, and then the second/third best on the bench to replace him. And to think, we've been accused of having an excessive Spanish presence in the past, it's just laughable. The whole fucking squad of 16 should be Spanish in an ideal world.

Also massive thanks for the translations mate, you're a top translator.

hahahaha. My favorite Pepe moment is when Arsenal took the lead in the CL quarterfinals in 07/08 and skrtel, I think, was lying there dejected and Pepe went and picked him up and gave him some encouragement. We may have just crashed out of the biggest comp in the world and here pepe is picking people off the floor and telling them we are still in this.

And to be honest, i think he should be captain. I love gerrard but he is ability as captain is directly correlated with his form as a player. When he is on form he can lift the whole squad and when he is off he is a sulky frustrated figure.

Once again watching Pepe warm up on Saturday, I cannot but feel a little bemused, here we have one of the best goal keepers in the world, in fact Spain probably have the three best in the world, and I would not like to say who should be number one, because I cannot separate Pepe or Casillas.  I watched the warm up with interest, I really don't think our goal keeping coach can offer Pepe any advice, we should consider bringing in a top Spanish coach, I don’t think it is by pure luck that they have the three most consistent  keepers in the world.

Pepe. Ultimate legend.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=846305&sec=england&cc=4716

Liverpool's future is a subject that has dominated debate over the course of two, traumatic years. Yet while optimism about the seasons to come has been restored now that New England Sports Ventures have replaced Tom Hicks and George Gillett as the owners, Jose Reina's appraisal of events at Anfield included a few words of warning about the club's prospects in the short term.


GettyImages
Jose Reina's own future has been debated given Liverpool's slump in status
The goalkeeper conceded Liverpool face an uphill task to challenge the five clubs he accepts have stronger squads, placing in doubt an immediate return to their old haunt, the Champions League. The need to strengthen is coupled with his admission that the club's top talents, such as Fernando Torres, could leave without a swift improvement.

The World Cup winner speaks with an authority that comes from his seniority - he has led Liverpool on the rare occasions when both Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher are absent - as well as his status as the club's reigning player of the year. Reina is one of the loyalists, a player upon whom honorary Scouser status is bestowed. But he stopped short of committing his own future to the club (shrugging "don't know") and it is a question of progress if world-class talents like Torres are to remain.

"We have to finish this season in a better position than we are at the moment [ninth] and make sure we build for the next years and try to be competitive," Reina told ESPNsoccernet. "If not, it's going to be difficult for them to keep these kind of players."

A top-four finish is, he says: "Possible; why not? But we have to be sure that we deliver better performances otherwise it's going to be really, really, really difficult."

In going from second to seventh last year, Liverpool regressed. Now they risk being left behind with Reina accepting their five major rivals have greater strength in depth. "We are not probably as strong as Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham can be so that's why we have to make sure we build a better squad," he added.

"At the moment, it's almost impossible to compete for nine months against Chelsea, for example, and that is what I want. The clubs all around England are building proper squads. We have to do the same and we have to be able to compete."

Reina speaks with a sense of realism that Carragher and a searingly honest Gerrard tend to share. Liverpool's start to the season is "not the greatest, obviously. We are not playing well enough, especially away from home, and we have to make sure we improve this aspect otherwise we will be struggling. It's so difficult to go anywhere and beat teams but if we want to be up there at the end of the season, we have to."

While Roy Hodgson's troubled start to life at Anfield has brought criticism of the manager, Reina has stressed the responsibility rests with the players. "Ideas in football are relatively important but what makes a system work are the players. We are the ones who have to show a bit more on the pitch."

As the chants of "Dalglish", heard in the defeats to Blackpool and Stoke, show, Hodgson has yet to win over much of the Liverpool support. But both the club ambassador and the former manager remain more popular than the Londoner.

"Rafa [Benitez] was really beloved in Liverpool," added Reina. "But I think it's about time that the fans get behind Roy and support Roy 100 percent. I don't think it is heavy criticism out there anyway."

Others may beg to disagree. But with Hicks and Gillett and "that mess," as Reina calls it, consigned to Liverpool's past, a new era has begun. Reina was among a group of players to meet John W Henry and Tom Werner, the new powerbrokers. "We were just talking for 20-25 minutes and discussing all the different things at the club," he said. "I think it's positive. They will do good stuff for Liverpool in the future."

The issue, perhaps, is when the future will arrive. Arsene Wenger is among Reina's high-profile admirers and the Manchester City model may offer a greater chance of immediate success that Liverpool's more cash-conscious and organic method.

"I can understand it's going to be a medium, long-term project and you can probably build like [Roberto] Mancini, which is get out the cheque[book] and pay fortunes for players and wages," Reina said. "That is acceptable and you have to respect that but probably is not the best way to do things. I am not blaming Mancini. It's their way, if they win the league nobody will blame them, of course. But these guys, the new owners, are thinking more in the long term and building things little by little, which is understandable."


We are lucky to have him.

Pepe Reina will break another long-standing Liverpool record if he keeps a clean sheet against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Heading into the game, the Spanish custodian has managed 99 shut outs in the league in just 196 games - and will reach the 100 mark faster than any other 'keeper in the Reds history should he keep another blank at White Hart Lane.

Ray Clemence holds the current record having reached a tonne of clean sheets in 217 outings.

Bruce Grobbelaar achieved the milestone after 225 matches, while Elisha Scott did so in 283.

The one player in the squad who is a perfect role model and deserves the captains armband more than anyone else.
