And yet we've still done better than every other club on both counts. So, even when we underachieve, we're still better than your lot?

Hey there's a lot of hours to fill in the day. Can't leave any time free for work now can I?

Yes, it does mean that.

I got on there yesterday at the first attempt. I'm famous.

Think he would have been a useful sub if we were chasing a goal, like at Birmingham and Bolton.

And he looked f***ing gutted that it went in.

Those two have learned their lines very well haven't they? Still a nicely timed "We want Walcott" quote from Rafa now could be useful.

Where's Elisha when you need him...

PS We're signing Walcott but its off the record ok?

Remember the 2nd Murphy game when we hadn't won in what seemed like forever and they'd won ten in a row or something?

Agreed sutty. I can't believe some people think we'll walk it this weekend. It will be a very difficult game. Our midfield does look stronger than there's currently but they have Rooney and Van Nistelrooy up front. It's very difficult to call.

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N...060117-1100.htm You seem much happier in yourself on the football pitch this year. Is this the happiest you've been playing football? "I don't know if it's the happiest I've been but yes, it is true I'm really enjoying my football at the moment. I've a clear mind and just fully focused on doing the job for the team and everything's going well at the minute." How does it feel to walk out at Anfield every week knowing 45,000 fans absolutely adore you? "Not just Anfield but every time I walk out for Liverpool, whether it's home or away. I do enjoy playing at Anfield more than any other stadium because of the noise and the fans. It's a special thing. I look forward to the home games more than the others but every time I put on the armband and lead the team out, there's no better buzz. When you were a child did you ever think that you would be as successful as you've turned out to be? "No, I don't think so. When I was a kid and playing in the Centre of Excellence, the dream was just to try and play for Liverpool even if it was just once - never mind close to 300 times. So yes, I'm really happy and things are happening to me that I could never of dreamed of." If Liverpool could sign one player and you could choose that player, who would you pick? "It's a difficult question because there are so many top players out there. Some are not available though and I wouldn't like to cause any trouble in the media by saying I'd love a certain player but if we were to have Thierry Henry in our team, I think we'd be a lot better." When was the moment you actually thought we could win in Istanbul? "I think when it was 3-2 and when the equalizer went in I started to believe we could win it. At 3-1 and 3-2 we were still playing for pride and just trying to improve on the first half performance. But when the equalizer went in and there was still some time left, there was a belief there that maybe we could sneak a fourth." If you had to choose between Liverpool winning the Premiership this season and England winning the World Cup, what would you choose? "I'd love to win them both but obviously being the captain of the team, I'd love to deliver the Premiership for the boys. It's a difficult question because it's like picking one of your kids if you've got two kids! It's a very difficult question. It's the same as being asked [to choose between winning] the Champions League again this year or the league? It's an impossible question to answer. Being as hungry as I am, I'd like to win the three of them." Like every kid did you play as a striker in the playground or have you always been a midfielder? "[i played] everywhere really. I tried everywhere - defence, midfield and up front. I think that's why I don't do a bad job in all those positions now because when I was a kid I tried them all. I enjoy playing anywhere just so long as I have the ball." Who is better: Stevie G or Frank Lampard? (Laughs) "It's another impossible question! I think that although we play the same position, we are slightly different in the way we play. It's still a compliment to be compared to Frank because he's a wonderful player and it's a pleasure to play alongside him but it's a question I wouldn't like to answer."

Its tomorrow?

Said in The Independent yesterday that Rafa was telling reporters off the record after his press conferenece on Friday that Liverpool were confident of signing him. Probably nonsense of course. Why would you tell a trust a reporter with such a story "off the record"?

14 points from that lot and we'll be well on course for 2nd place.

Would be good to be the first team to beat Mourinho's Chelsea in the league at Stamford Bridge.

I'm not sure how long we'll wait though. I really do hope we get a right winger in this January. Stevie's so much better in the middle. Of course, then the question is where does that leave Momo? (I know, I know... possibilities.)

I thought the same but with Cisse.

Schmeichel I reckon. Although I'm not sure he scored for Denmark.

Harry's loving splashing the cash.

I thought this thread was going to be about the one that cannoned off Don Hutchison's back.

He scores as many goals as a good striker and makes as many as a top midfielder. He does it for Chelsea and England. His record is frankly unbelievable and sets him apart from the others you mentioned. He's a wonderful attacking midfield player.

Cheers mate, that's not too bad is it? I'd take a 30 point increase over the season!

Does anyone happen to know how many points we're up from the corresponding games last year? Alot of people were keeping up with this for the first few fixtures but I've not heard it mentioned in a while.

Um, excuse me? Is that really necessary?
