I don't know why Liverpool didn't push on for a 2nd goal at 1-0 - they had all the momentum, Everton were running around chasing shadows then with 20 minutes to go the Reds decided to button down the hatches and throw away the initiative.


Late goals always are lucky goals but bringing on Lucus rather than Mascherano seemed to be more about building Lucus's confidence and sticking 2 fingers up at his critics than actually trying to close the game down. It all left Rafa with egg on his face at 1-1 with Robbie Keane and Torres already substituted - and before anyone says don't blame the manager, well the manager always take the credit after a good win so it works both ways.


I've always said if you are happy to settle for 1-0 then you can't blame anyone when you get hit with a sucker punch.


I wouldn't say Liverpool are running on an empty tank but they are certainly not in the right gear.

Pretty fair summary Matthew. We are still well in it, but we are stalling, and need to pick up quick and hope Man U drop some points somewhere... I would genuinely be proud of second if we make it a fight to the finish (obviously I'd prefer first), I just hope we don't fade like a Primark T-Shirt!


On a more ammusing note, Man City's executive chairman suggesting that Milan "bottled it" over the Kaka transfer... Not of course that the player looked at it and thought, "actually I earn quite a bit where I am, and I'd like to win some medals".


And a day later, has Robinho done a runner? Lets hope so >:D<

It's time to laugh at City again!


How can you be the richest club in the world and not only fail to lure a player for half a million pounds a week but also lose your club and country record signing in the space of 24 hours?


Oh, hang on, it's because it's City. :))


However, I am sure Craig Bellamy is going to set Eastlands on fire....

Some cracking FA Cup matches this weekend, it looks a real good 4th round draw. The game that stands out for me is Cardiff City v Arsenal - I think that could be a Cup classic. I think Wenger will be making a big mistake if he puts out a youthful team. As for any shocks, well I think that might be down at Fratton Park where I think Swansea can beat the Cup holders Portsmouth in their own backyard.

      I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.

      Such a shame as Dells is fantastic - a decent local business providing a great service to residents.
