FA Cup 3rd Round: Preston 0, Liverpool 2

Jan 4th, 2009 | Source: Liverpool Offside | Category: Latest Liverpool blogs

Following the high of our win at St James’ Park, Rafa rested Benayoun, Lucas, Kuyt & Reina. Replacing them in the starting lineup are Keane, Riera, Alonso & Cavalieri between the posts.
Gerrard was played following his little run-in with the law and produced yet another composed display.
Keane wasted another hatfull of chances as usual and [...]



Pennant on his way out?

Jan 2nd, 2009 | Source: Liverpool Offside | Category: Latest Liverpool blogs

Obviously Harry Redknapp sees something in Pennant all of us don’t. Hull City, Wigan, Stoke & Spurs are reportedly chasing Pennant’s signature. Rafa would be trying to swap him (plus 7 million pounds) for Lennon of Spurs. I would say go for Lennon!!! And ditch Pennant before his contract runs out.



Riot in The Park; Red Army held responsible

And so with Chel$ki held to a 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage, we are 3 points clear heading into 2009!! I’m strangely starting to believe we might just nick it this year.

Running riot in St James’ Park, Stevie G bagged a couple and created a couple more to turn in an exemplary performance by the [...]



More Funds!!

Good news!! We’ll probably have more money to spend this summer!! And to offload some surplus!
On another note, Pennant reportedly priced himself out of a move to Real Madrid. Pity though. He was quite a promising youngster back then. All things said, I’d prefer seeing Aaron Lennon on our wing. What do you think?



Final Whistle: Liverpool 3, Bolton 0

I’m sorry this took some time, but in my somewhat weak defence, I was real busy getting drunk and gorging on awesome turkey, ham & roast beef.
Nadia caught this match but didn’t have time to write a report cuz she had to do some last minute shopping for winter clothes. The phone conversation at about [...]



AP appoints new Caretaker-Manager

Dec 23rd, 2008 | Source: Liverpool Offside | Category: Latest Liverpool blogs

Greetings!
In the spirit of “You’ll never blog alone”, I have volunteered as Caretaker-Manager of Liverpool’s Offside whilst our dear Asian Persuasion is away on a lovely trip. When I say “volunteered”, I meant “do-it-or-I’ll-post-all-your-drunken-embarrassing-photos-on-The-Offside”. (Thanks Nad!)
Meanwhile, this is rather new to me and I hope all you readers will bear with me while I get [...]



Arsenal 1 Liverpool 1: Another missed opportunity

Dec 21st, 2008 | Source: Liverpool Offside | Category: Latest Liverpool blogs

Liverpool has made drawing games their specialty, as they failed to capitalize on 10-men Arsenal, after Emmanuel Adebayor was shown the red by Mr Howard Webb for soft challenges on Insua and Arbeloa. Which now begs the question: do we really need to hope Blueshite draws with Chel$ki tomorrow?
It was a scintillating first half at [...]

UEFA Champions League: Up for a Real Challenge?

Dec 19th, 2008 | Source: Liverpool Offside | Category: Latest Liverpool blogs

It shall be revenge for Torres as Liverpool drew with all-Dutch Spanish giant, Real Madrid, whose recent form has been dodgy enough to warrant for Bernd Schuster to be replaced by Spurs flop, Juande Ramos.
Other mouth-watering fixtures:
Inter Milan vs Manchester United: The Special One is finally back on English soil!
Arsenal vs Roma: Erm…
Chelsea vs Juventus: [...]
