Liverpool 4-0 Fulham

I hang my head in shame for I have temporarily abandoned my Reds. I know, I know. You can never be a true supporter if you haven’t been there for them through the bad times and I fully intended to cheer them on but I sorta have personal problems of my own. Not that it can compare to that whore of a Mrs. Gerrard but still, it’s a problem that occupies most of my thoughts nowadays. The Dad was nice enough to remind me (while I was washing tons of feeding bottles) that the Liverpool-Fulham game was on. I almost didn’t want to watch, knowing that they might’ve been a little depressed coming back from the Champions League match against Galatasaray. But I was in for a lovely, lovely surprise.

Gerrard (54′)

Ah, where he should always be, blazing a trail for the Reds to follow. Dear Skipper, I love you so.

 

Carragher (60′)

Not only is there the promise of hundreds of millions of pounds of investment coming into the club but – far rarer than that – Liverpool supporters yesterday could celebrate the appearance of Jamie Carragher’s name on the scoresheet, his close-range conversion representing his first League goal in almost eight years and just his third in a shade over 300 League games. ‘His first goal of the century,’ beamed Rafa Benitez. – Football Guardian

Premiership Weekend Winner: As his last Premiership goal occurred in the previous century, against Southampton in January 1999 to be precise, Carragher now holds the Liverpool club record of the longest period between league goals. – Football365

 

 

Garcia (66′)

Don’t you just want to see him suck his thumb some more?

 

Gonzales (90′)

Intense, dude. But hot.

Of Football and F1

LIVERPOOL 3 – 2 GALATASARAY (Champions League)

True to his word, Benitez rotated his squad again, with the significant return to a central midfield role for captain Steven Gerrard.

Crouch: 9 and 52; Garcia: 14

BOLTON 2 – 0 LIVERPOOL (English Premiership League)

Benitez: “I’m not a manager who likes to talk and talk, I like to work and work. We are starting from now with the six players we have, but I expect those who’ve left for international duty to think a lot about what happened on Saturday and be ready to show a reaction when they come back in ten days.”

Stevie, clearly NOT happy with the results

Alonso polls at China Grand Prix but Schumi takes first ..

Michael Schumacher’s rain-defying victory in Shanghai on Sunday left German newspapers struggling to find enough superlatives after the seven-times champion moved to the top of the standings for the first time in two years.

“He showed the world who’s the best, cuts Alonso to shreds and shuts (Renault boss) Flavio Briatore’s trap.”

.. but Kimi didn’t even get to finish the goddamned race.

“That was a shame as it was looking like we could achieved a win today,” said Raikkonen.

“I don’t know exactly what happened, but all of a sudden the throttle didn’t react correctly and the engine went into safety mode and selected neutral.

Everyone’s fucking up. Gawd.

Me thinks it’s brought on by Milenyo. I feel like I’ve just entered the Twilight Zone. Everything is upside down this week.
