Anfield Fox

YESSSS

Come on reds.

Don't buy the S*n.

Sad news. RiP.

Marc Vivien Foe smokescreen for Didi.

I think they also pay the costs of running it as well.

I agree. I believe the peak is mid 20's and 29 is the start of the slow decline. Not saying it will be like that for Stevie, i hope it won't. It's especially the case for teenagers who achieve a lot at 17-18. By their late 20's they have been playing for over 10 years. Just look at Owen and Fowler.

We are top of the league

We just need 1 goal. Even if we conceded one it wouldn't be the end of the world, please just get that one goal.

You can't be serious? A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUATER FINALE and everyone is talking like it's just the league cup and it's all over and doesn't even matter. Yes it was bad, yes our chances are slim, yes it would take something spectacular to see us through but to just give up? Not our way. If we can put 4 past Utd at OT then there is no reason we can't score an early goal at Stamford Bridge and after that, well anything can happen.

Hate to say it but it's so true. Seen it more times than i can count over the last 15 years or so. The Coventry games around this time back in 97 was the worst

Just saw this line on BBC "It was Liverpool's biggest win at their fierce rivals since 1936". I had no idea. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

We can take 'em!!!!!

Yes please! Though i wouldn't mind Bayern. Their really the only prestigious club along with UTD we haven't played (and as a result beaten) in the CL since Rafa got here. Real, AC Milan, Juve, Inter, Chelsea, Arsenal, Barca, etc - Been there, done that

Fantastic! Best news i've heard coming out of the club in ages.

Reina, Aurelio, Arbeloa, Carragher, Skrtel, Riera, Benayoun, Alonso, Mascherano, Torres, Kuyt. Subs: Cavalieri, Dossena, Hyypia, Gerrard, Lucas, Babel, Ngog.

I wouldn't dismiss it. At Valencia, Rafa had made them into one of the best teams in Europe, won the Spanish league twice in 3 years as well as the UEFA Cup and by all accounts, the CL was next. However he wasn't happy with the interference from the board and things behind the scenes and so quit. He joined a stable club with a reputation for being one of the last "family" clubs where things were done properly and where the fans and board would always back the manager. Now almost 5 years later, things here behind the scenes are much worse than they ever were at Valencia. The club is a shambles off the pitch, he's trying to fix it but they won't let him. There might just come a point where he thinks it's more trouble than it's worth.

I was just looking at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Engli..._of_appointment to think Rafa is the 4th longest serving manager in the PL and and 9th when including the whole football league says it all.

This is starting to remind me of 2002. We finish second with a haul of points that would have been good enough to win the league in any season but the one we are playing in because the team ahead are playing like a freak of nature. Then it was Arsenal, this time it's the Mancs.

2205: Extra time at Anfield. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7870286.stm

Villa if money was no object but more realistic, Owen on a free and pay as you play contract if he has finally decided to stop being so greedy.

Sign for £20.3m. Sell for £12m 6 months later. At least one thing can be said for Krusty and that's that he is consistent.

It's transfer deadline day. Any word on Owen?

No match thread today?
