Liverpool Echo - Another Red Letter Day

WINGERS

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:31:10 +0000

More talk about potential Reds flankers today
The name of Riera has once again been thrown back into the pot, along with Stuart Downing from Middlesborough.
For many though, it's not exactly setting the pulses racing.

TORRES TO THE RESCUE

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:10:10 +0000

WITH 80 MINUTES on the clock at the Stadium of Light, I might as well have just copy and pasted my blog after the Standard Liege game, posted it under the heading 'Sunderland Game', and nobody would have been any the wiser.
Fortunately, the best striker in the world popped up to spare our ever increasing blushes on Saturday evening.
It's dropped points away at mid-table sides like Sunderland that has prevented us from getting close to Man Utd and Chelsea in recent years.
And I'd go so far to say that Torres's thumping strike was massive, already, in terms of our season.

CARLSBERG SUN FURY

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:28:20 +0000

CARLSBERG came a cropper today as Liverpool fans spoke out about their promotion deal in that newpaper we don't mention that often.

SAME OLD, SAME OLD

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:20:27 +0000

GOOD job Pepe Reina was Man of the Match, wasn't it?
Any early season optimism was shattered by a a thoroughly dispiriting 90 minutes of football by us last night.
Still, it's early days and we'll defintely get much, much, much better.
But, we hardly looked like a new-look Liverpool team ready to launch our first proper assault on the Premiership title for years, did we?

BOB PAISLEY MEMORIAL

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:27:57 +0000

LIVERPOOL fans are being urged to attend a poignant unveiling of a permanent memorial to Liverpool legend Bob Paisley.
The event starts on Saturday afternoon, hours before the Reds' opening Premiership game of the season against Sunderland.

REDS' FANS TICKET WORRY

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:21:23 +0000

CROWDS gathered outside the Kop yesterday as part of a protest against a perceived lack of ticket opportunities for local and young fans.
Read on for the full story.

TEN DAYS TO GO

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:49:15 +0000

THE start of the new season approaches faster than we think doesn't it?
A week on Saturday we make the trip to The Stadium of Light for Sunderland.
I wouldn't be surprised if there some frenetic transfer activity over the next fortnight as Rafa looks to hone his squad for the coming campaign.

THE IRISH GUNSLINGER

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:17:17 +0000

SO, we've finally sealed our first real heavyweight deal of the summer.
Keane finally put pen to paper at Anfield yesterday, and I for one, am genuinely excited.
Surprisingly, however, some Reds are somewhat ambivalent to the capture.

FRIENDLY THOUGHTS

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:22:37 +0000

I managed to watch about two thirds of our game against Lucerne the other night.
Although, the game was reduced to something of a training session at times, and a lot of our players are clearly only half-fit, there were still some interesting pointers.

WHEELIN' AND DEALIN'

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:23:13 +0000

PLENTY of activity on the transfer front in recent weeks.
I'm liking this activity. It seems we've cottoned onto the fact that with the Yanks not opening their wallets we need to lighten the load on the playing staff so we have some reddies to play with.
Anyone else really missing the lack of footy around at the moment? Since the end of the Euros, what's there to do other than playing fantasy transfers with the Reds?

HIS FEET STICK OUT THE BED...

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:30:44 +0000

IT seems all I'm ever writing is farewell pieces these days.
The next to pass through the saloon doors at Anfield is Peter Crouch who is off to pastures new at Portsmouth.
Nobody split opinion quite like the 6ft 7ins beanpole. He was either one expensive mistake, or a player who had never been given a fair crack of the whip by Benitez.

BYE BYE HARRY

So sicknote finally departs for Galatasary.
Reports of prolonged whooping sounds coming from Melwood are, as yet, unconfirmed.
Let's have an in-depth analysis over the Anfield career of the winger who made Darren Anderton look like a 14 marathons in a fortnight man.

WE HAVE A STARLET!

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:58:18 +0000

LIVERPOOL have signed up a Danish starlet to their ranks.
Apparently, we've beaten a host of top European clubs to the signature of 17-year-old striker Nikola Saric.
Early indications show he's got a big box of tricks.

BEST OF BRITISH

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:57:56 +0000

I was giving some thought to this six-plus-five foreigner restriction proposal put forward by UEFA a few weeks back.
Thank God's it's fallen by the wayside. Just how would Liverpool fare if that scenario was introduced?
How would we have lined up? And what impact would it have on the English game?

STOP! BABEL TIME!

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 15:22:27 +0000

CH, ch, ch, check this out!
It's Ryan Babel in some sort of rap/hip hop music video, rapping himself too.
First Degen and his catalogue modelling, now Ryan on the decks. It's all a bit of a concern.
