It was only a few of the lads who went to the game and I have no problem with that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t mind them going to watch Real Madrid and Barcelona when it does not interfere with their training. You can drive to London and it will take you longer than it will to get to Madrid for a match.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Dalglish will be up against a club he previously managed as the Merseysiders take on Newcastle at Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>And despite having been fired from his job in 1998, the Scot insists that he harbours no ill feeling towards the Tyneside outfit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In no way, shape or form is there any animosity,&#8221; said Dalglish. &#8220;I still have a great relationship with then Newcastle owner Freddy Shepherd. I can put my head on the pillow and say I did my best.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is always disappointing when you lose your job. I don&#8217;t think anybody who loses a job will be happy with it.
