Sorry John

It has been a sad stretch.  Four straight losses in all competitions for the first time since 1987. 

Crisis? What crisis? Normal service has been resumed.

LFC 2 - 0 Mancs

Goals from Torres (65 min) and the young Ngog (90+5)

Vidic lived down to expectation and was red-carded for third successive time against Liverpool.   The good news is the mancs haven't caught on to what a liability he is.

BBC - Liverpool deservedly defeated rivals Manchester United

 

The Guardian - "Torres scored a good goal, but didn't Rio look a little slow and lightweight?"

And of course as MancU were playing, the fergie rule was applied  "play on til you score" but this time it back-fired!!!

Let's all celebrate!

Yes, it was an unusual kick-off time, 2pm GMT, which was midnight in Brisbane where Huw is.  (Needless to say, he sent a txt to his Dad at 2am Aussie time!)

Lucas did the biz, and showed he's a class act - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/thegame_podcasts/artic le6890894.ece

Nice vid clip of the goals (if you can wait til the ads have played)

Meanwhile fergy needs to look at his team, and not blame referees, crowds, colour of their shirts, the BBC, Sky Sports, etc. if they want to get their act together.

It's the Arsenal v LFC on Wednesday, down in t'smoke.

Let the fire in the gut stay put for Wednesday!

It didn't. 

They're going to pieces!    2 red cards in one match; Gerrard injured; what next?

I said they would suffer without Alonso!

It's all gone quiet over here.

And the Samaritans are on stand-by…

Everybody bailed out to Facebook, John.  Sign up and send me a friend request, and I'll suggest a bunch of other "friends" who you already know through here.

The Reds had about 80% of the completed passes Monday but couldn't get the win.  I just hope they stay positive and keep fighting!  YNWA.

Even a bump may not save this from the incredibly shrinking lonuge.

What? No more Met stories?

What?  Hamburg's a fun city, and the football and beer will be excellent!

(We're planning a trip to World Cup '14 in Brazil, and my sons are going with a friend to South Africa this coming June!)

Nando!!!!!!!!!!

Liverpool had a must-win game at Aston Villa that was nil-nil after 90 minutes, but deep in stoppage time Fernando Torres got a loose ball and dribbled into the box before firing a shot into the back of the net, seconds before the final whistle!

There were plenty of thrills before the goal, and even YOU know that by now.

Wow!  The stress levels here were sky high, but Liverpool's pressure in last quarter of the match paid off.  Villa made a mistake and Torres pounced, striking like a cobra!

It's Reading in the FA Cup at the weekend, and then Tottenham at home.

It looks like building the new stadium should start soon. http://www.thisisanfield.com/2009/12/30/new-anfield-work-to-begin-in-n ew-year/

Poke.

Sorry...

Whew. Thought I was grounded.

Michael Owen at his very best; precise, quick and ruthless. Made even sweeter when you look at the Arsenal team sheet.  Horrible yellow shirts, though!

Tragic day in Angola.  I assume the team from Togo will go home.

Absolutely.  Teams with players in other national sides are very concerned for their security. At the moment, they're still going to be released to play. I'm watching Arsenal v Everton, and there are several African players on the pitch who knew the wounded and other players well.

Landon Donovan made a very impressive start for Everton, who were unlucky not to win. His accurate corner kick gave Leon Osman the chance for a powerful header to score.  Rosicky scored an equaliser well into added time after 2 great goals from Everton. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8441973.stm

Yes, a bit more like it.  JC was well fired up, and Kuyt's energy paid off. Still well off the pace though.
