Wigan V Liverpool – Wed 28th Jan. KO:1945 GMT

Once again Man Utd have shown us what you are meant to do when you travel to apparantly inferior sides in the EPL if you want to be crowned as champions at the end of the season. To be the honest the difference between the two sides at the minute is that no one expected anything less from ManU last night whilst there is always a...

Robbie Keane is going nowhere… For now

After Robbie Keane’s no show at Sunday nights F.A. Cup tie against Everton, many of us had thought that this signaled the end of Keane’s time at Anfield. But for now it looks like he will still be around as Rafa has said Keane is in the squad for the match against Wigan on Wednesday. It is said that Keane was upset with...

It is understood meetings have taken place in London between aides of the tycoon, who has an estimated £9bn fortune, and Hicks’ representatives.

Liverpool V Everton. – Sun 25th Jan KO:1600 GMT

Ding, ding round two and Liverpool FC comes out swinging in an attempt to knock Everton out of the FA Cup. Sounds good but is it actually going to happen if the rumblings about Rafa fielding a weakened side due to his pursuit of the EPL title are true. I cannot believe he will risk the wrath of the Kop in letting Everton put us out...

Is Rafa right to field a ‘B’ team against Everton in F.A. Cup?

There is suggestion that Rafa will rest key players for this weekends F.A. Cup tie against Everton at Anfield. I am not too sure if this is a good idea. Yes, our priority is the league and then the Champions League but surely we can not take the F.A. Cup lightly especially since it is against Everton of all teams. We have to win...

Liverpool 1 – Everton 1

Yesterday I said we needed to win this game, but guess what… we did not!! I was left fuming last night in my lounge after seeing Everton grabbing a late equaliser. Somehow I do not see this season ending the way we would like it to. We have just dropped too many points because of draws and this could just cost us come the end...

A look ahead to the derby tonight

Tonight we HAVE to win. There are no negotiations about that. We somehow need to get three points and I do not care if it is a scrappy 1-0 win. We are now getting to the stage where results mean more than performances. I was hurt over the weekend when both Man Utd and Chelsea got last minute wins. Draws for both teams would have...

Liverpool V Everton – Mon 19th Jan KO:2000 GMT

Brian Clough once famously said “it only takes a second to score a goal“. Never a truer word has been spoken that sums up the final minute of the ManU and Chelsea matches on Saturday. With practically only injury time left the red majority of Liverpool were celebrating or like me waiting for the final whistle to...

Kaka can not go to Manchester City

I know this has nothing to do with Liverpool but it has been making the footballing headlines the whole week and if Kaka does move to Manchester City for £100m then in a way it is going to affect Liverpool. In the sense that, the whole transfer market of football players could potential ‘blow up’ with teams starting...

Is Rafa losing it now?

I was quick to come out and support Rafa for the stance he took last week Friday against Sir Alex Ferguson. I thought that was a once off and the last we would hear from Rafa but he has continued further now and I think he is loosing it now! The Spaniard questioned whether Manchester United chief executive David Gill should be...
