contemplating tottenham

0
My first post in who-knows-how-long and it's about another club. Go figure. Anyways, I have soft place in my heart for the Spurs. I've honestly never met a White Hart Lane fan that I didn't like, maybe that's just dumb luck, but it also doesn't hurt that Berbatov the Impaler (who I hate now, btw) won me a pretty penny last season with his late game heroics against West Ham in one of the best matches I've ever watched.

God Bless the Fates for Dirk Kuyt?

1
Gees, what a way to win the match. Played useless for most the match and then he comes up with the most important goal for the season so far. No big surprise.

So I've slept through the season so far, this match being little difference. In our defense, Liege played 8 back for the majority, but with the amount of talent we have, it shouldn't have been this hard. Click to continue reading...

'Yeah, but how many of those were penalties?'

0
I can't remember how many times I heard that question when we signed Torres in the off-season. Some were even mislead to believe that he would be as turnover prone as Luis Garcia. Oh, how the football geniuses must be red-faced now. Sure, 'the Golden One' is far from perfect, but he's easily the best forward in the Premiership and well worth the £20m+ price tag.

No Masche, No problem?

0
Here's an interesting stat, when Mascherano receives a card, the side is 2-4-5 with the only wins coming in a squeaker at Wigan earlier this season and a surprising route of PSV in the final eight of the Champions League last season. It's no coincidence that he's received cards in the last two matches with Man U, not to mention the farce that was the Champions League final last season. Click to continue reading...

And the man in black steals the show...

2
How appropriate on the most holy of holiest days. Respect for the FA? Laughable to say the least. No one had money on Man U today, the payback wasn't worth it. Logic, reasoning, and rationality rarely applies to those who are pathological about illogical, unreasonable, and irrational desires.

Maybe the collapse of the world economy will be a good thing. Click to continue reading...

A yellow for speaking to a ref? You're having a laugh.

1
Just the fact that he already had a weak yellow and appeared quite restrained in his conversion with 'Sir Bennett' negates any legitimacy to the call. If that's the case, Rooney should have been suspended from the league for life by now.

The show must go on with all the revisionist rule writing one can fathom. Click to continue reading...

'Inter is going to kill Liverpool'

1
That's all I heard going into our first elimination showdown from those who think they are in the know. I hope now they have a better understanding of how the footballing world works and some clue who the true ringmasters are... or maybe I should say puppets and puppet masters. Here's a clue, those with the strings attached to their arses are the team with the least amount of players on the pitch and those controlling the strings make the most money from matches.

Liverpool 2, Inter 0: The show must go on...

5
All we heard coming into this match is how this was Rafa's last stand or how 'awesome' Inter, the supposedly best side in Europe, was going to 'crush' Liverpool. Fueling the delusions of the betting man, whether intentional or not. Unfortunately this win was about as legit as our American owners promises of bringing back the glory days.

A win tomorrow would be the worse possible thing

1
Here we are again at about the same point we were last year. All that's left is the Champions League and quite frankly, I hope that dream ends tomorrow... but it probably won't. Losing to Barnsley was nothing more than a confidence boost to all those poor betting addicts who think the Reds have no chance against the big, bad Internazionale. Click to continue reading...

Kewell and Pennant should be starting

2
I love Babel and Lucas, but I would have gone with King Harry and JP on the wings. Pennant scored against the Bluesers last year.

Of course the outcome will justify Rafa's decision either way.

Skrtel, Skrtel, Sktrel, he's not made of clay... Click to continue reading...

A special pair of boots...

A special pair of boots,
Our D-agger wears a special pair of boots.

Gees.
Let's hope he's back to best form as soon as humanly possible. Click to continue reading...

Swansea or Everton? Yes, it's that bad.

1
Until the Americans go and frankly, until we get a more qualified manager (Sorry, love Rafa, but I'm tired defending someone who's clearly out of his element), I'm done giving a rat's ass about this squad. I'll always be a Liverpool supporter, but basically I currently find it to be a waste of my time and emotions. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool 0, West Ham 1: All you can do is laugh

2
Apparently handballs in the box aren't penalties and dives where the player (Lundjberg, in this case) had zero chance at a goal are. I'm so tired of the farce that is the Premier League, let's just hope we don't get screwed in the Champions League again. We are playing an Italian team though. Ha ha ah.

Liverpool nearly upset? What a joke.

7
And I'm not talking about our performance. I'm referring to the onslaught of garbage the press is force feeding the general public, most who didn't even see the match and won't look at the facts. The truth is this was a no contest. The truth is Havant scored on a set-piece, which any club can do against any other club no matter the differential in talent. Click to continue reading...

You're a f&@kin' idiot if you think Liverpool is in a crisis

4
Things happen for a reason. My computer went schizo a couple of weeks back and at the time I was bit stressed out about it, but now, I'm glad it happened. Why? It allowed me to once again realize how much rubbish is the press. I have had some computer access, as you may tell, so I would peruse the headlines and read an article or two, but for the most part, not much was worth writing about. Click to continue reading...
