Captain...(fat)...Frank?



What a fatty. England just set a record for fattest captain ever. Even fatter than that Hungarian guy, Puskas? Maybe they are trying to copy that Hungarian squad with an even fatter captain. Afterall Hungary did obliterate off England (see 6-3 demolition in 1953 at Wembley) back in the day.





Great idea England. Field more players like Fat Frank and this guy Puskas.

HONESTLY though.. Frank isn't even good at soccer. I am NOT being a weightist (?). Just because he is FAT Frank doesn't mean he can't be good. Too bad he is neither. Lampard is a black hole on the field. He doesn't play both ways and he doesn't create enough. Gerrard is twice the player and I even venture to say Barry is more of an asset on the pitch.

Hang up the cleats Frank and lose some weight.

What's Wrong Nando?!

Fernando Torres

YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED AT A BIG CLUB!

Come on Fernando. I thought you were GOING to a BIG club to CHALLENGE for a league title and play Champions League FOOTBALL! Maybe you thought wrong? Just like I said before, I think in the long run Fernando will regret this move deeply. You could see it Sunday in the biggest match of the season so far for both clubs. Chelsea looked old, confused, and disorganized. Their 3 striker formation backfired. Nando failed to link up and a sliding block by Carragher prevented Torres from making any stamp on the game. Not only that but Chelsea just looked poor. Liverpool could have won that game 2-0 or 3-0 had they capitalized on some 'sitters' and good chances.

Liverpool are now only 6 points behind Chelsea/Tottenham for the 4th spot and Champions League football. I predict that they won't get Top 4 by season's end, BUT they will at least make it interesting. Next season it will be anyone's league. King Kenny has got the boys playing inspired football and he made a point in this weekend's fixture. "NO player is bigger than the club".

OH YEA and nice elbow by Agger!

The Invincibles?



Nope you're not seeing things Fergie. Your boys just lost to the Wolves to end their impressive unbeaten run. Wolves! Mick McCarthy's wolves! What a crock! After narrowly escaping a shock loss to Blackpool a week earlier, ManUre dropped 3 point today by losing to the lowly relegation-battling Wolves 2-1.

Good day to be a Liverpool fan. Arsenal blows a 4 goal lead. ManU loses to Wolves. The SAME Wolves side who lost to Liverpool 3-0 a week ago. I guess that win is a bit better than we thought Reds fans...

Let's beat Chelski and that traitor tomorrow!

Arsenal...LOL

How can ANYONE respect a team to win the title when they are up 4-0 20+ minutes into a game and somehow manage to drop 2 points. Its time to shut the door on the Gunners and maybe Wenger for that manner. You can't blow a W with a 4 goal lead. It is inexcusable. The team is the same as usual. This summer Fabregas will leave. Then what? Same team every year. They won't compete for a title. They will make a mini-run in CL play and they won't win a significant trophy (carling cup doesn't count).

What a joke. Newcastle... 4-0.... 4-4... LOL

Andy Carroll: Is He Worth It?


(He's a freaking behemoth)

I didn't really want to touch this subject, but I will since it seems that is all any Liverpool critic is talking about. Andy Carroll is probably not worth 35M pounds in terms of his previous production on the field. The signing was a gamble, but at least a calculated one at that. Andy has the ability to be the best. He is a hulking physical presence on the field. He wins everything in the air and has been developing his finishing touch. 5 years from now he could have 30 English caps and be the every day #9. It was a calculated risky move. With the money from the Torres deal (ugh...) Liverpool had to make a move.

If anything though it is important to note that this is a CLEAR signal of the INTENT of the new owners. They want to win. They want to build a team the right way. They just brought in two strikers over 20M a piece at the ages of 22 and 24 years. I have no doubt in my mind that both Luis and Andy will be vital roles this year in our chase for Europe and next year in our chase to be back in the Top 4.

I can't wait to see them both on the pitch!

I'm Not Your Babe, Fernando...

Seriously Nando? I know this is a bit behind, but how the hell did this happen? Fernando Torres submitted a transfer request for Chelsea... AND we accepted? I guess 50M pounds is too much to turn down. I think it is at least. The guy hasn't been healthy for a full season yet in the prem league. I doubt he will be for his entire five years at Chelsea. Can I say fingers crossed there? Do I hope the guy is on the trainers table? Well... do you want the truth? No. I don't. But I also hope that Liverpool wins a title before Chelsea wins one.

The move just doesn't make sense to me. Chelsea are a team on the decline. They are old. There wages are holding back their expectations to meet the new FIFA fair play rules, meaning they may not even play in Europe in a couple years. You hear that Nando? Do you understand that?


WTF??? IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?

They aren't contending for the league this year and they haven't looked all that great in cup play either. I just don't get it. I watched Torres' interview with ChelseaTV. He looks miserable. It really does look like he just made a mistake and is now realizing it. He just doesn't have the same excitement as when he first signed for Liverpool. It has to be an uncomfortable feeling to leave for the money to a team like Chelsea. In one years time, Liverpool could be top 4 and Chelsea could be a mid table team. Age catches up to a squad fast.

Have fun Nando. It was fun a couple years. I bet you'll be begging to be back at the Merseyside within three years.

BACK AND HERE TO STAY

Myself... AND THE KING!

Sorry I have been gone so long. I am back now. Minor hardware issues.

Now I am back and here to stay. Just like King Kenny is back and here to stay for Liverpool. Not only as a caretaker but as the permanent manager... At least that is my general sentiment.

More to come soon...
