Dammit all!

Wasted chances – the story of my life, and, unfortunately, also the summary for Liverpool against Portsmouth on Wednesday at Anfield. If for nothing more than confidence’s sake, it would have been awfully nice to crawl up to 3rd spot in the table. The title’s gone, barring the greatest collapse of all time, but it’s important [...]
Best time ever to visit Anfield because …

… you might get a chance to play!!!
In a freak series of incidents that make me wish this talented gentleman still received his paycheck from Liverpool Football Club, there’s talk that today Rafa will be forced to deploy Sami Hyypia as a holding midfielder against Portsmouth.
Say, uh … wha’?!
Bolo Zenden, Xabi Alonso, Momo Sissoko – [...]
Tearin’ it up
By: Jim | No Comments
So, I was thinking, if I got a dog, I’d probably name it Crouchy. Just a thought that passed through my head during my commute last night. Another thought was, do I really understand what it means to tear a hamstring?
After several years of immersing myself in the English game, I’ve come to figure out [...]
It’s fargin war!

It’s dangerous to start an argument when you don’t know the best way to finish it, but here goes …
For me personally – and I have no opinions from others to back this up – I wanted Liverpool to be the first team that won the Premiership after the Abramovich era and dynasty was established. That [...]

I’ve been traveling for much of the past week, and I had planned to write a (somewhat) joking post here about how Liverpool’s terrible away form was such a downer that it’s even affecting my mindless free time (I haven’t so much as considered playing my FIFA 07 season in weeks), but I’m going to [...]
What is that? Is that a light off in the distance?

I’ve been woeful with this blog of late, but it’s been a dispiriting few days here. The Premiership season, started with such hope, has little left in it for Liverpool. Tough to admit in November, but I can’t see any other appraisal.
However, Sam in Canada cheered me up a bit with his comment following the [...]

Oh my lord. What the hell was that? I’ll give you the first two goals, but that William Gallas header toward the end there was just rubbing it in.
Wow. What a horrid, miserable performance.
I need to take a walk in the woods or something. If you would have told me Arsenal would have scored three [...]

Sissoko broke his arm in the first half against Birmingham. There was a 7-minute delay and he was tended to by team doctors from both Liverpool and Birmingham. They took him off on a stretcher, so that must be one seriously broken arm.
Dammit. The guy’s a tackling, disruptive monster that was really needed for Arsenal [...]
Mano a mano with the Arsenal

The official No. 1 scribe of this here Web site, Chris Bascombe, gets the nut of it right about Arsenal this weekend. Here’s an excerpt:
“That said, Benitez will recognise it’s the trip to the Emirates, not the last four games, which will truly determine if his side has turned the corner into an open road [...]
It’s Arsenal week – and I couldn’t be any happier, all things considered

I don’t have much to offer about the Reading match. I was recovering from a nasty illness, and it was what it was – a necessary, sufficient performance against an inferior opponent. Besides, Liverpool plays Arsenal on Sunday and it’s the start of what is, essentially, the second stage of the season.
Arsenal and I have some [...]
