Fernando Torres Show and Barnsley's FA Cup

Good weekend for the City of Liverpool - Capital of Culture 2008.

It seems that the fight for 4th place is what motivates the Red and the Blue halves of Liverpool.
Not sure what happens at the beginning of the season when they should still be focusing on the big trophy? Anyway ... 4th Place Cup it is for the European City of Culture 2008.

Golden Stars of the Week
If you had 26 million dollars, would you spend it on Torres or Owen.

99% of the Kop would have spent it on Owen. Just tells you how England fans die hard for useless players.
Thank God for Rafa the Rotators ....
Since we now know that Torres is going to get the English 'Pichichi', [only one misguided fellow thought Drogba would do it], its time for another poll.

We don't mind the contribution of Captain Fantastic either ... 10 goals for the season, more goals scored than anyone in Chelsea. Shocking, Shocking!

If only someone could take care of those pesky blue half of Liverpool!

Jimmy Bullard
He seems to have re-born the Fulham machine - darn it, couldn't he have stayed injured before we visited them?

Dimitar Berbatov
Finally woken up - but what is up with the yo yo Tottenham, one day they are winning 4 - 0, next they are being beaten 4 - 0, then they win 4 - 0 .... do you see where I'm going with this Man City?


Barbs of the Week
Arse, Arse, Arse - lost opportunity ... I could never imagine we would have come as close as 10 points behind them?
What? 3 games and we are almost behind them? Wrong man, wrong.

We've learnt from games in hand, I was advised long ago - "... they mean nothing until they are points in the bag ..."

You have taken the perfected Liverpoool tactic of multiple draws and made it your own.
I can only say ... learn from the best ... hah hah hah!

9 games to go, 27 points at stake ... here's the log.

Upcoming fixtures, 12 March:
Arsenal: Middlesborough @ Emirates [banker 3 points? don't think so, there are consistency issues this is a banana skin]
ManU: Derby away [should be a banker 3 points, c'mon]
Chelsea: Sunderland away [hmmm ... after the steal by Everton here, Keane will be looking for a response]
Liverpool: Reading @ Anfield [revenge? Torres hat trick, Gerrard thunderbolt - hah hah]


FA Cup

One word: Barnsely

Thank you for embarassing the Chel$ki. They talked quite a bit after you stunned our third team.
It was great to see their Champions League team being taught a lesson by your gutsy play.
Chelsea - shame on you; a lesson should have been learnt from when they beat the Kop - weren't you watching???


Another word: Portsmouth

I love that they come back after having been embarassed earlier in the season at OT, but great of them to come and play some INSPIRATIONAL defence at OT and come out with a hard earned 1 - nil win.

Harry Redknapp, you should go all the way. The only Premiership team left in the race.
