Houllier laughs at the critics

"I laugh when people say I should lose my job," he said. If I had said four years ago that we would be in contention to reach the Champions League every season, win the Uefa Cup, win the FA Cup and the Worthington Cup, then you would have taken that.

"If I had said we would win six trophies you would have taken that. We are victims of our own success. We have raised expectations from everyone, but we accept that and we live with it."
