Liverpool 2008/09

This is getting embarrassing. Villa’s ten players played well enough going forward in the first half but our manager has completely lost the plot with his primary school tactics.

Liverpool are on fucking fire!

Goal difference could be crucial in the title race so it would be advisable for Liverpool to keep pushing on here.

Five-nil now. Hat-trick for Gerrard. Imperious performance. It’s like Villa are nothing to them.

3 ourstanding performances in a row, and with refs finally cottoning onto united i’s going to be a rollercoaster 2.5 months

can see arsenal putting 3 spanners in uniteds push for trophies

You are one bitter cunt.

Christ Shan, what’s bitter about that? :cool:

He doesn’t like the team you like and hopes they slip up. It’s nothing new for supporters of opposing teams!

What does that mean?

sometimes the seagulls follow the trawlers…

Superb performance from the pool…Jesus that Brad Friedel is full solid useless!

“United fan in bottling it shocker”

Pukey what happened at Cusack Park today? Losing to the langers is fairly bad but Gerry Quinn getting booted off the panel aswell. Going backwards at a rate of knots. Relegation will be a disaster for Clare hurling. Mike Macs mind numbingly stupid training for 2 hours the day before the earlier games is now coming back to haunt him.

Was listening to it on the radio and saw the last 15 minutes on the tele…Clare fucked it away, had the game wrapped up and Phillip Brennan gave Cork two soft goals…Ref was shocking

Quinn has walked off the panel I am told, also heard a right one about Conor Plunkett, PM me if you want to know more

Steven Gerrard will now almost certainly get his wish to end his career at Liverpool after agreeing a two-year extension to his current deal, which still had two years to run and was worth 110,000 a week.

The Liverpool captain, 29 next month, is believed to now be on a deal approaching 150,000 a week which will run until at least 2013, when he will be 33.

Manager Rafael Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv: 'Steven’s new contract is fantastic news for the club. Steven has once again shown his commitment and it was an easy deal to agree. As soon as we offered him the option he said yes.

'There were no problems at all. He wants to stay for life. This deal sends out another clear message that we are moving forward as a club. To know we have a player of Steven’s quality with us for many more years is a great boost for the club and the fans.

‘He is clearly a player who inspires those around him and, even though he is playing very well at the moment, I still think his best years are ahead of him.’

Gerrard said recently: 'I’m really happy at the club at the moment, in fact I have never been happier at any time throughout my career and I would happily sign for life.

‘I am playing in a top team, I am playing with world-class players and I believe that with this manager, going forward, we can be successful.’

After Benitez signed his own new contract in March, the way has been clear for the Anfield boss to secure deals for a string of his top stars.

It is understood that Benitez, now with more control over his budget and transfer policy, is preparing deals for Jose Reina, Xabi Alonso, Alvaro Arbeloa, Dirk Kuyt, Daniel Agger, Fernando Torres and Jamie Carragher.

He has already tied up deals for several of his backroom staff, including assistant manager Sammy Lee, first-team coach Mauricio Pellegrino, goalkeeping coach Xavi Valero, fitness coach Paco de Miguel and chief scout Eduardo Macia.

But the jewel in the crown is Gerrard. Once again there has been speculation of a summer bid from Real Madrid, but Gerrard has frequently made it clear he has no desire to play anywhere but Anfield.

And the announcement today of his new deal can only boost the feel-good atmosphere around the club as they chase Manchester United at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

Tremendous victories over United, Real Madrid and Aston Villa have set up Liverpool for a tilt at both the domestic title and the Champions League.

They are just one point behind United, who have a game in hand, and victory at Fulham tomorrow will take them top before United face Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.

And on Wednesday they face Chelsea in their Champions League quarter-final, first leg at Anfield.

the fact that this was all done without any media involvement is a big thing. no hoo ha or any bullshit about money or moving clubs.

The London Independent are doing an all time dream team series at the moment, this is the Liverpool version -

Dirk Kuyt has become the latest Liverpool player to agree a new deal with the club.

Hot on the heels of Steven Gerrard agreeing terms on a new two-year contract, Dutchman Kuyt has followed suit on a two-year extension.

The new deal will keep Kuyt at Anfield until the summer of 2012 as Rafa Benitez continues his drive of securing his top players on longer contracts.

Kuyt joined Liverpool from Feyenoord in the summer of 2006 and he has established himself as a big fans’ favourite with his work ethic.

The 28-year-old, who was a prolific goalscorer in Holland, has been converted into a right-sided winger in the last few seasons with Benitez preferring to play Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard in attack.

Benitez was delighted to sort out the wide man’s future and feels news of contract extensions for Kuyt and Gerrard will provide a boost for the club.

“This is another great piece of news for the club,” Benitez told the club’s official website.

"Dirk had one year left on his contract and we were keen for him to stay. He is a player with great quality who has a big part to play in our future. We are delighted to have reached an agreement.

"To have announced new deals for Steven and Dirk on the same day shows how hard everyone is working and that we are moving forward quickly as a club.

“These are very positive messages and I am very happy.”

Its tough being a Liverpool supporter looking at some of them names and then thinking of some of the current donkeys…

I was a little young at the time but the 88 team was arguably the greatest Liverpool team… i think they stuffed Forest 5-0 that season and Clough said it was the greatest, or most complete, performance he had ever seen from a side. If this team had been in Europe they would get be talked about as one of the worlds all time great teams!!

Barnes was my absolute hero back then, watch him at work for the fourth goal… Kev and NCC will like the shorts in this…
