In Jamie We Trust
By: CSD | July 24th, 2009For those of you just joining our soap opera, As the Liver Pools, here’s the story thus far…
Our captain, Steven Gerrard, is in court over affray charges from last season, Xabi Alonso could be going to Real Madrid any day now, Mascherano’s agent is holding us hostage, Aurelio is out ’til Christmas, Agger is out for a month, El Zhar and Skrtel are also injured. It sounds like the other guys are picking up knocks, but that’s normal in football so we’ll call that neither here nor there. I’m not sure which I hate worse, the transfer window, or pre-season friendlies.
So far, there’s only one good thing I can think of that’s come out of this summer…
Even though I’m sure that El Niño’s new naña is quite adorable, I still can’t help but feel the summer time blues. Here we are, exercising the young talent, whatever that is, and we have not done more than draw a pre-season game yet. Now, I know that these smaller clubs that we’re playing are super excited to have a chance against the Reds and are going all out while we’re doing jumping jacks, but shit man, a win for confidence would be nice.
I’ll tell you a secret, I’m the most afraid of Chelsea. Carlo Ancelotti obviously knows what he’s doing. He fits into the Chelsea system where he trains the players and focuses on matches while someone else picks who’s on the team. He has a talent for handling the press, he’s very charming, hell, he’s charmed me with his little jokes whether they be intentional or unintentional. And also those big squishy cheeks I just want to pinch. How do we compete with that? I think Rafa’s laying off the pastries, but is fertilizing the goatee.
So yes, kids, I do have my worries, but they are only worries because even though we have our troubles, and the heart of our team has his legal troubles, the soul of our club is still around. He’s out there teaching the younger players every chance he gets at the academy and will one day be screaming from the Reds’ touchline at the first team. Jamie Carragher is the unsung hero that never asked to be sung about. As long as I know that Carra’s in the mix, somehow I sleep a little better.

Are you sure Agger is out for a month? He looked fine on Wednesday. What happened?

yeah, I think Agger is fine. I just want the transfer stuff to end, it is getting a bit tiresome having all your players linked elsewhere.

I thought he had tweaked his back.. maybe I was mistaken.

This stuff with Gerrard – I have to say seems like the privilege of celebrity and wealth gettgin away with it. I think Gerrard’s a great player, but if all his pals plead guilty and he’s the only one to plead not guilty it doesn’t look good to me. There’s footage of them holding him back for gods sake – how can they be more guilty than him?

…also don’t mean to provoke, but Alonso has been treated pretty badly in the past, he’s bound to look for other opportunities.

Well, it’s a moot point now, he’s been cleared.
He admitted to hitting the guy, just thought that the dude was coming at him first, which is why he was being pulled away. And even if he did lose his cool, so what? He doesn’t have a history of doing things like that and is a pillar of the community. I’d expect him to get the same leniency as anyone else. Now, if he turns into Joey Barton, that’s a little different.

It’s not really moot since his image is of critical importance, and IMO it’s badly damaged and it effects the image of the club.
I’m not comparing him to Barton; he’s got a mental problem that guy.
It seems wrong to me that Gerrard gets off when his ‘mates’ are left to face the music.
I don’t buy his story for a second that he thought he was defending himself – I’d have more respect for the guy if he admitted it and just said he was pissed.Doesn’t seem like fair justice to me, the man should take his punishment instead of hiding behind the clubs lawyers.

Wow, way to snap to judgment. You don’t know exactly what happened that night and I don’t either. People that are in a better position than us to know have decided he’s not guilty of affray, so end of story.

I can understand why you’d want the story to be at an end, especially since the season hasn’t started.

You’re expressing many worries about Liverpool and giving too much praise to Carlo !
Ultimately, you want to read why Liverpool are favourites for the title
