Liverpool 2008/09

I believe you over-empathise with Rafa due to your common love of gypsy beards. What Rafa said is a load of bollox. Fergie complains about fixtures and we didn’t when it was us? Bollox. Fergie never gets punished? Bollox. United get favours from the FA? Bollox. What favours?
Coming out with a second statement immediately after fucking up a lovely chance to stretch your lead is stupid beyond belief… take your draw and shut up with your whinging, beardie. Riling everyone up? Don’t think anyone is riled bar himself. Bemused maybe.
I also think ‘running it by senior players’ is a little silly. Their minds begin to wander onto things other than football. It smacks a little of Liverpool looking nervously over their shoulders rather than just concentrating on playing football and winning games.

I don’t love gypsy beards, just my own. Surely you can see his Gill point has merit? What other things would the senior players be thinking of then? Easy to say it smacks of them looking nervously over their shoulders after a poor result. Points on the board have Liverpool top at this stage. We’ll see come May if they’re still there but they’ve done that without really hitting top gear and mostly without Torres. There’s more to come.

If I wasn’t such a pacifist this could be the makings of a decent feud. I definately have time for Benayoun and have already said that he is involved in a lot of the positive things Liverpool do. This is where the comparison with Garcia comes in. Garcia did give the ball away needlessly on many many occasions but he also scored some very important goals ie. Juventus & Chelsea the year they won the CL.

and maybe smicer too? all similar style players

How the holiday go?

good yeah. fairly bloody hot tho, over 30 every day and over 40 a couple of days.

Benayoun is average at best… he produces now and again and leads you to think he is hitting form but he goes missing more often than not. He is fine when playing in Europe and afforded time and space but does not have the craft required for potential champions who are faced with packed out defences each week.

Benitez has turned down Liverpool’s contract offer. They’re in agreement on salary and length of contract but wants full control over ‘all football matters’ rather than having to report to the Chief Executive, Rick Parry. It’ll be interesting to see if either party is willing to concede their ground on this.

Jermaine Pennant could be on his way to Pompey

It certainly will. I wonder will we have a situation where the owners will hope that the waiter doesn’t deliver a trophy in the next 5 months, otherwise they will lose face and come under massive pressure to accede to his demands.

Either way, and Farmer will probably disagree, I think it’s something Liverpool could do without. I don’t see the need for him to give interviews about his contract to The Liverpool Echo. They should just get on with the football and take care of these things privately.

I don’t disagree but I think too much is made of things like that.

But I suppose that is what the media does and you should not give them the ammunition.

Solid enough start from everton without creating too much… L’pool a bit nervy…

Fairly audible “Gerards going down” chant there as he stood over tfk.

Torres should have let Keane have a tap in. Bit greedy from him.

To be fair apart from Torres no other Liverpool player is playing well. Their full backs have been diabolical.

Nah, the chance was there for Torres, it didnt need a cut back, he shoulda finished it.

Poor game so far.Even when Pool play with 2 strikers they dont look much different than when they play with none.

Cahill must go down as one of the best signings over the last few years. Two million he cost them - smashing player.

Torres is key to Liverpool doing anything this year. Not good to see him miss that.

Absolutely agree with that. He has some leap on him too.

He does alright. There was talk of him being Irish at one stage. He’d have been quality for us.

Wasnt Cahill the reason for the International player amnesty a few years back? Think he played for Samoa at the age of 14 or something. Class player, nasty side to him too, but I dont mind that much.

Tough conditions out there now.
