News and Updates: Sunday Morning Coming Down

By: Ed | December 6th, 2009

Liverpool still drew yesterday. Sadly, the answer is no.

Glen Johnson confirms what the women at Kickette probably already knew. Oh, he meant playing style. Still, I’m inclined to say that between Benni McCarthy and Sam Allardyce, Rovers are objectively not handsome. They never should have let go of Roque Santa Cruz.

This news is a bit of a surprise considering the rampant rumors about him being the missing link at (not in the evolutionary sense, but perhaps), and his desire to move to, Barcelona during the summer, during the fall, and during the winter.

Other contract news, this about Pepe Reina, that is sure to please fans considering he’s absolutely in the running for Liverpool’s Player of the Year. Of course, the actual source is the News of the World, and the previous page confirms that he’s Tiger Woods’ fifth mistress. Which, sadly, is not far from the realm of possibility right now. I can never watch Bones again.

Alberto Aquilani is set to start against Fiorentina midweek. But if you actually read past the headline, the bulletproof evidence of this is Rafa stating that, “..maybe Aquilani will start.” Man, Martin had no idea what he was talking about.

Stan Collymore also has no clue. I mean, come on, how could Steven Gerrard win the Premier League title in Madrid? And no pressure on the aforementioned Alberto Aquilani, who Collymore thinks should carry the load now. After twenty minutes of (semi-) competitive play for Liverpool, he’s clearly the best candidate to shoulder the burden of the man who just made his 500th appearance for the club.

Piers Morgan was kind enough to grace us with his Arsenal/Manchester United/Chelsea “Team of the Decade.” He gains points for insulting Gary Neville, but then throws it away by calling Jesper Parnevik
“pious.” Clearly Piers hasn’t seen his own banner picture, in which he reimagines the “Thinking Man” without actually having thoughts.

Finally in more random news, it looks like WAG wannabees will be severely disappointed at the World Cup, as the English FA shot down any chance that the England squad will take Viagra to counteract any effects of the altitude in South Africa. The puns pretty much write themselves (including the Guardian headline)…but come on, football shorts + Viagra = ______________

Not if you were sleeping outside during a rainstorm. Otherwise...awkward. But understandable.
steven.

i had dream that Xabi came back .. i'm kind of embarrassed to admit i woke up all wet .. (awkward?)

Has he been a flop? I honestly haven't followed him or Real much...I wouldn't be surprised if it took some time for him to settle into that side, as his playing style and demeanor are much more subdued. I couldn't think of two personalities that are more opposite than Cristiano Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso, and if Ronaldo's the marker for Real, it'd be no wonder that Xabi would be viewed as out of sorts. But like I said, I haven't kept up on him too much.

But it would take a hell of a lot for him to come back--by his own word, Rafa's shopping of him during the summer of 2008 really altered his view of the club (maybe moreso Rafa). I can't see him coming back to Liverpool, and I'm not sure it would be a good thing. I think that would only be viewed as Liverpool needing Xabi to rescue them (which they might). They've got to be able to work through their troubles with who they've got. And any help they can get in January would be fine too.

And Martin, Kickette is for the renaissance man.

@Ed: I know firing Benitez is not the Liverpool way so yeah I guess sticking with him is the best idea, hopefully he won't do anything stupid in the next transfer window. I mean what was the point of paying 20 milion on that Italian and then not playing him? I know he was injured but from what I know he isn't anymore...

BTW Xabi has been a flop at Madrid (from what I head), do you think Liverpool could get him back?
Ed

Fair enough.

santa cruz has not aged well....
