Well we had a large group of meaningless international fixtures today clogging up the middle of the week for us today.
Of note, Xabi Alonso scored twice as Spain beat Denmark 3-0. Agger was present in the opposing line up, and Fernando Torres picked up an assist on one of the goals.
Everyone’s most anxiously awaited goal...

There was certainly no love lost last night in the semi-finals of the Olympics when Brazil took on Argentina. As a game, it was always going to be a show piece, is it not always when these two great South American nations go at it on the field? Now before the game, Rafa was happy that either Lucas or Mascherano were going to return...

Now that it looks like the Gareth Barry deal has virtually collapsed, Rafa has to look for other options before the transfer window closes on the 31st of August. One name that has come back into the picture is Albert Riera. I will be the first to say that I do not think Riera is the right man for the job. They say he has improved a...

The start has finally arrived. The Premiership season started on Saturday and now my life can return to normal. It had been a tough couple of months without my daily feed of Premiership action.

So it is now time to get your Saturday rituals going again! First up for Liverpool is a trip to Sunderland. When the fixture list came out and I saw that...

I guess we can now almost officially say that David Silva will not be joining Liverpool anytime soon. The Spanish winger has signed a new contract with Valencia. I had previously hoped that Silva would be offloaded by Valencia and he could come to Liverpool to link up with his fellow Spanish mates and form part of what could be the...

What a frustrating night for Liverpool! At the end of the day, the 0-0 scoreline was actually a good result for Liverpool as we just did not look and play like the team we are. Thanks has to go to my man of the match, Pepe Reina. Without his first half penalty save and his overall brilliant game, we could have come back from...

Liverpool’s season kicks off on Wednesday night (13 August) as they take on Standard Liege in the first leg of the Champions League qualifier in Belgium. I can not wait as it has been a long wait for the season to finally get going! It may just be a Champions League qualifier versus relatively lesser opposition but it is a...

The transfer rumour mill is at it again as we edge closer to the start of the new season and as the transfer window closes on the 31st of August. According to reports, Chelsea’s Joe Cole could be Rafa’s next signing. Whether you believe this or not, it is anyones guess. When Rafa came out and said, “Maybe he can...
