Dearest Liverpool Offside readers, sorry for being MIA. Was on a 9 day leave from work, and Rock Band is taking over my life
While one Rafa bagged the Australian Open title, the other Rafa scored a league double against Chel$ki, a feat last achieved in 1990. After drawing way too many games, dropping points unnecessarily [...]

Following the high of our win at St James’ Park, Rafa rested Benayoun, Lucas, Kuyt & Reina. Replacing them in the starting lineup are Keane, Riera, Alonso & Cavalieri between the posts.
Gerrard was played following his little run-in with the law and produced yet another composed display.
Keane wasted another hatfull of chances as usual and [...]
Liverpool 1 Marseille 0: Unconvincing but does the job
By: Nadia | 5 Comments
Rafa finally learns how to pronounce ‘dilemma’, some Marseille fans are morons and clearly, we have a goal-scoring crisis
CSD was spot-on when he predicted a narrow score-line for Wednesday’s Matchday 5 encounter with French side, Olympique de Marseille. Nevertheless, this “scary” win qualifies the Reds to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League tournament [...]
UCL Matchday 4: Liverpool 1 Atletico Madrid 1
By: Nadia | 13 Comments
It was a boring match until the last 4 minutes of stoppage time, which saw a questionable penalty given to Liverpool (Fine by me, we’ll take the draw) and 4 yellow cards.
If we hadn’t scored, I would probably started off by saying Liverpool was shite. Nando’s former club outplayed us, and though we had most [...]
Liverpool 3 Wigan 2
By: Nadia | 9 Comments
What have we learnt…
1. I do have a crystal ball =X
2. Daniel Agger would make a good winger or midfielder.
3. Our opponents should be careful the next time they score against us first.
4. Once again, we have won the hard way, but we have what it takes to be serious title contender.
5. Keane has yet [...]

While Captain Fantastic was being horribly misused against Denmark and being subbed out, Xabi Alonso was being subbed in and making waves.
Seriously, let’s not sell the guy. He’s beaming with confidence right now and if he gets a start this Saturday, I think he’s going to come up with a solid performance. As [...]

Well, today is the day plenty of Liverpool fans will dread. Frankly, the thought that one of our first-teamers could pick up an injury whilst away on international duty is worrying, but with the sheer number of players away, it is increasingly likely.
Pepe Reina is away with Spain, and after last month’s appearance in the [...]

Yes. Hello Again. Well, Ed and I have decided to alternate posts to every other day so I don’t trip over him on the stairs.
And I’d like to comment first on his post from earlier today. Well-written, admittedly, but I sorta disagree with what he was saying. Pennant was only decent against Derby because [...]
Xabi should have had a hat-trick
By: Brian | 6 Comments
Did you expect me to be optimistic about our 6-0 thrashing of Derby County today? Okay, so I’m a little pleased. Okay, so I have a smile on my face right now that plastic surgery probably couldn’t take away. More so because I picked up Xabi and Torres on my Fantasy squads [...]
The six biggest surprises so far as the transfer window closes
By: Brian | 3 Comments
6. Crouch wasn’t sold
Okay, so this isn’t much of a surprise as Rafa has said again and again that Crouchy isn’t going anywhere. I guess this is more wishful thinking and hoping on my part more than anything else. Oh well, looks like ole lank stank is here to stay, at least until January.
5. [...]
