International Round-Up

By: Stop. |

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 [...]

Pennant for England? Maybe not…

By: Stop. |

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

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 [...]

Broken record alert: Stevie-G and Carra are out for this one. God I hope this means Gerrard sits out the England qualifying matches. Come on, Stevie, let Limp foot Lampard get some playing time. Moving on, I first expect to see all those who weren’t featured against Toulouse on Tuesday start, which [...]

Liverpool 4, Toulouse 0

I’m not sure whether I should try to watch this match again, the final score almost says it all though it could have been worse for the French side. Toulouse sort of dug their own grave from the get-go by coming out with all guns blazing. That’s not how you’re going to beat [...]

Liverpool 1, Toulouse 0: halftime thoughts

By: Brian |

1 Comment

Wow, after the first leg, I don’t think anyone could have predicted such an entertaining first half. It hasn’t exactly been good football, but with both sides missing key players, that should be expected. The ebb and flow at times though, has been heart-stopping.
The most impressive aspect is how we’ve seemed to figure [...]

Liverpool vs Toulouse II: the line-up

By: Brian |

Leto to start!!! Now I’m freakin’ pumped for a match I was otherwise dreading. If Leto plays as well as he did in the preseason, this should be a hella fun match to watch. The kid has the ability to wreak havoc on opposing defenses almost at will. Lucas Leiva will also [...]

Liverpool vs Toulouse II: What will Rafa do?

By: Brian |

Apparently both teams will be missing their respective captains as well as other key players, but this being at Anfield and Liverpool being clearly the superior squad, the Reds should win this one and advance to the group stages of the Champions’ League. With that being said though, stranger things have happened. Anyhow, [...]

Anfield Banter: Luis Garcia = class, LFC = class, Benayoun = er, impatience, Ian Rush bites back at Chelsea, & Kuyt almost does Man U a favor

* Luis Garcia has written a letter to the fans thanking them for their support.
* Liverpool may leave 96 empty seats in their new stadium as a memorial to the fans who died at Hillsborough.
* Did Yossi Benayoun just wake up yesterday and realize he was no longer playing for West Ham? Apparently so.
* Ian [...]

Liverpool vs Mickey Mouse FC: What will Rafa do?

I doubt I’ll get around to doing this tomorrow so I might as well get it out of the way. First and foremost, the Gerrard dilemma. I personally hope he doesn’t play, but I’m not Rafa. I kind of think he won’t start and will be on the bench just in case. [...]
