His crosses are rare but usually good, and set pieces are usually subhumed to Gerrard

Kronkamp! The most effectual Kronkamp! Who's intellectual close friends get to call him J.K. Providing he's playing today. Kronkamp! An indisputable leader at the back He's the boss, he's a pip, he'll help win the Premiership. He's the most tip top, Kronkamp! Yes he's Dutch, cheaper than King, But above everything, He's the most tip top, Kronkamp! I'll get me Klompen...

I saw it at the game, but in none of the playbacks since. Xabi tries this every now and again, being the most aware player on the pitch. he'll get one sooner or later.

So did the Graham Norton o'gram do the biz for Kev then?

It would have been worse - given your athletic features you could have ended up looking like Johnny Vegas!

The captions don't match the stats on the second set 0 the captions say 13th, the stat list 14th. Unhelpful buggers!

In which case - if it is now over - can you now give us the full story?

You seem very certain mate?

Sack Parry..

Some journailsts frequently talk through their a*se. Samuel is such a bloater, he can shout through his - and does. The overall verbal diarohhea maintains the same loose consistency though.

It's in the genes mate...cold, windy old set of zeppelin hangars is what the pit makes me think of. Looking around last night at half time you began to get a real idea of how much on their uppers the blueschyte really are and how worried they must be by our impending move. Creaking old edifice for a creaking old club.

Makes a change from the bouncers having to throw them in...

Indeed sir - spotters badge!

Jim Smith or some Scottish twunt...Souness will be free in a week or so...

A great player in many obvious ways - but one of our best 'take it down a blind alley' players too - we didn't/don't need to replace him - that's always a strange revisionist road to go down.

And Anderlecht at home.

I'm one of those that don't think Owen will ever be back - which makes the whole thing moot. However, also being one of those who believed he would sign, I've seen and heard enough since then and in the closing stages to know he did indeed manipulate the situation to his own ends. Yes, he had a right to do it - but as a supporter of the club promarily I think he treated us very shabbily at a sensitive time for the club. Like so many players who are occassionaly prone to beleieving their own press, I got the feeling he felt we entirely owed him, and that he owed Liverpool nothing. It took him 18 months in all to um and ah over a contract extension with us, but less than four days to agree a deal with Real Madrid. When it went sour over there, he told them he wanted to come back to Anfield, and I believe him - however, he lacked the courage of his convictions in forcing Madrid to deal with us and went to Newcastle for a ,ountain of cash and an eye on his England place. That's his choice - are we supposed to support him in it? I didn't and wouldn't boo him - or any returning Liverpool player - unless they had maybe done a Souness and written for THAT rag. I think we can take criticism aplenty (as if we had a choice!) but like any reasonable person, I respond better to constructive or objective criticism, much of what comes our way is neither. Owen has done what he thought best for Michael Owen, as is his right - even if he is wrong, which I think he is. I don't see his style fitting well with the all-as-a-team-together Valencia-like approach that Benitez has got us working with. Our attacking options are multi-layered with goals coming not almost exclusively from a poacher specialist (potentially easy to nullify as we have seen with Owen on occassion) but from all over the field - This season from Gerrard, Crouch, Cisse, Morientes, Carragher(!), Garcia, Alonso, Zenden, Pongolle etc...it's a new Liverpool. ( 9 premiership games won on the bounce so far, one goal conceded. We don't need Owen anymore.
