LIVERPOOL BEAT HULL THANKS TO KUYT DOUBLE
A tough match against struggling Hull ended well for Liverpool as first Xabi Alonso and then Dirk Kuyt got the goals to see of a dogged Hull at the KC Stadium today. Obviously suffering signs of fatigue from the midweek exertions against Arsenal, the reds had to did deep to get through this one. Thankfully, […]

UTD WIN BUT FAIL TO IMPRESS AS CHELSEA DRAW
So Utd ground out a two-nil at home to lowly Portsmouth and it was another less than convincing performance by them. This gives me some optimism in the run-in, they have to slip up against Spurs on Saturday. Thankfully, Chelsea drew nil-nil with Everton at Stamford Bridge to keep them three points behind us. I […]

ARSENAL DENT LIVERPOOL’S TITLE DREAM IN 8 GOAL THRILLER AGAIN
Despite two goals from Fernando Torres and another brace from Yossi Benayoun, Liverpool had to come from behind to earn a draw at home to Arsenal tonight. Liverpool totally dominated the game from start to finish and but for some sloppy defending from Arbeloa and then Aurelio, we should have won this game easily. A […]

THE HILLSBOROUGH TRAGEDY
Twenty short years ago, here in the west of Ireland, I was out painting the garden fence on a beautiful sunny afternoon. I was looking forward to the FA cup match between my beloved Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on TV. Little did I know what was about to unfold that terrible day. Instead of watching […]

LIVERPOOL GO OUT IN THRILLER AT THE BRIDGE
Liverpool went out of the Champions League tonight in dramatic fashion. Needing to overhaul a 3-1 defeat at Anfield they got off to the perfect start with a great free kick by Aurelio. They then got a penalty when Alonso was fouled in the box, he coolly smashed the ball home to make it 2-0 […]

TORRES & CO SCORE FOUR!
Fernando Torres scored two sublime goals to set Liverpool on their way to a 4-0 hammering of Blackburn Rovers at Anfield. The reds strolled through the game thereafter and should have got many more. But it was not until Agger scored a screamer and sub David Ngog got his first Premier League goal that the […]

LIVERPOOL WELL BEATEN IN CLASSIC MATCH
What happened tonight? We started off in blistering fashion against a gutsy Chelsea team and got the opening goal from Torres but it was downhill after that. In a game played at a frenetic pace it was Chelsea who came out 3-1 winners in the end. It was our toughest game off the season, Chelsea […]

UNITED STUMBLE AGAIN HA HA
Great ain’t it? Watching Man Utd playing like crap, can’t pass, can’t defend, can’t do sweet f.a. A 2-2 draw at home to Porto of all teams, it was great to watch. I normally boycott Utd matches on TV, have done for years, unless we are playing them. But, lately, I have tuned in to […]

VILLA FAIL AT UTD
Aston Villa let a 2-1 lead slip away as the cursed Utd came from behind to win 3-2. Going into five minutes of injury time, yes, five minutes, it was two all and we at Liverpool were hoping for the draw as we would have stayed a point ahead of them in the League had […]

CAN WE DO IT? YES WE CAN!
It’s a very tall order isn’t it? Three-one down and needing to score at least three to get past Chelsea, its going to take a heroic effort to get through. Maybe its a bridge too far, as some wag said, but I live in hope that we can achieve the impossible and get past the […]
