Torrescito Speaks About The Gaffer and Liverpool FC

"Now I'm going to try to respond to them by getting a couple of goals against Chelsea. Everybody dreams about playing in the Champions League and in the space of a few months I have gone from watching it on TV to having a part in it.

"I have already got plenty of memories. My goal at the San Siro when we beat Inter Milan 1-0, the 4-0 win over Marseille, and my goal in the 4-2 win over Arsenal.

"And now it is the turn of Chelsea. I don't ask myself questions – I just tell myself time and again that I have done the right thing to join Liverpool."

The Scoop

Much sought after Croatian midfielder, Luka Modric seems to have chosen Tottenham Hotspur to ply his trade.

More news about a £50M Chelsea move for Kaka.

The Scoop

Chelsea are discussing a swap with Internzionale for unsettled Ivorian Striker, Didier Drogba for likewise unsettle/moody Swedish Striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Will Sven make a swoop for out of sorts, Barça pair, Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry?

Many Apologies for the Missing Spell, We're Baaaacccckkkk Mutha Truckas!

Cheers and Happy Champions League!

Footie at Night! Hell Yeah!

"Teamed up with Pierre Haulot, Nike has come up with a solution to keep you playing sports day and night. Virtual Park is a glow-in-the-dark spray paint that can be used to transform any environment you need to keep practicing at night. The paint only lasts for about two hours so there's no worries about vandalism. This is definitely an interesting product with lots of potential, not just for sports enthusiasts, but also for artists and advertisers around the world."

News Alert

One of my personal favorite players and New Kid on the Block, Bojan Krkic not only scored a brilliant bicycle kick goal last week, but he also became the youngest starlet to bag a goal in a UEFA Champions League match. Thierry Henry gave Bojan a tipped cross after he failed to bag his initial shot.

'Tis been a spell,
Therefore, may as well...
Bring in the SCOOP!

(Not quite a Haiku, but it looks like one at first glance...especially if ya' don't know what a Haiku is you Tottenham fans!)

Zico wants to put Carlo Cudicini off his rocker by talking rubbish about him in the media...dirty Brazillian Bastard!

Aaron Lennon to Anfield...I can only hope (I rate him highly, although, the price would be the issue. We can probably get Sergio Aguero for the same price Tottenham would want for his services...then I'd much rather have Aguero and Torres up top...FUGGEDABOWDIT!)

Useless, saliva emitter and ex-Liverpool utility player, El Hadji Diof, has claimed that he will be leaving Bolton for (I can only Imagine) a fine Croatian side, but only after he saves Bolton from relegation! Spanish or Italian teams chasing him...mon cul! They must be second or third division?

Chelsea are chasing Argie/Boca rat tail striker, Rodrigo Palacio for £6M! That would be a steal.

New Poll

Topsy-Turvey Reds

It seems as if the relationship between George Gillette and Tom Hicks has come to a stalemate.

"I would say, choose your partners wisely."

Au Revoir

Everton and Tottenham have crashed out of the UEFA Cup today on penalty kicks after fine displays from both sides.

History

History was made yesterday when Liverpool became the fourth team from the same league to take a position in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals with a stellar 1-0 victory at the San Siro against Internazionale Milano.

Some new kicks from Adidas for the Euros this Summer.

Golaso, aso, aso!!!

Hamit Altintop bagged a screamer in today's Bayern Munich's 5 - 0 thumping of Anderlecht where Ribéry shined like a star. He scored this free kick and took part in three others with brilliant passing.

Fuggedabowdit!

Liverpool accomplished what many thought was impossible. I didn't think that and you can check for yourself on my prediction in a post below. I got the scoreline wrong, but we are a much better side than people see week in and week out. If we played in the Premiership like we did today, we would be on par with Arsenal and Manchester United.

Today, we tore those Milanese up like they haven't been torn up in their own league do date this year. Granted, they had that jackass, Materazzi sent off late in the first half, but we owned them until that point as well. We are a top side when we want to be. Fernando Torres was also giving that goofball trouble from the beginning.

Good Job Boys! Very Good Job!

Liverpool FC 2 - 0 Internazionale Milano

Yes, I'll Give it to YA!

I'll give it to ya' in big, black, bold font as well. Liverpool, nay scratch that, Barsley 2 – 1 Liverpool

I said it a long time ago, Rafael Benitez has reached his pinnacle with Liverpool. He has been surplus to requirements since last summer when he grew the dodgey facial hair! That should have been our spot on tactical notice that he was not the same person he once was.I usually would never publicly discuss my feeling on my team's dirty laundry, but most of you know how I have felt about Rafa since his first day. I'll say he's a good man, and somehow brought another Champions League trophy to our cabinet, but he's done NOTHING since. He's a man to 'steady the ship' not a man to 'Capitan the Ship' in Seaman's terms.

Yes, he did woo Fernando Torres, but he'll stay no matter what (he's under a 4 year contract for one). I just hope our next gaffer can handle his business? Rafael cannot split the personal and business aspect of the job. Therefore, time to go. Although, 6 months late.

Champions League

Here are my predictions for this week. Feel free to keep score and tell my how bad my predictions were! (Click on the image to see the full on version...unless you are stupid or clairvoyant, then don't bother.)

FIFA Shakedown

Why doesn't that jackass, Sepp Blatter just resign? Now he's using intimidation and coercion to block future Premiership plans. Disgrace yet again on the part of FIFA.

Reds Merry-Go-Round

It now seems as if under fire American owners have been offered a 'double your money' buyout for the troubled club from Dubai International Capital to a tune of £460M deal.

Ouch!

The forever disappearing Ronaldo (the one who sported the funny doo during World Cup 02) has now ruptured a knee ligament and will be out for a spell. This could be the end of his career I'm afraid.

The Scoop

Very unlike Arsene Wenger, but reports are out that he is interested in a summertime swoop for 36 year old Egypt/Al Ahly shotstopper, Essam El Hadary.

Liverpool have been linked with an £8million move for Nigeria winger Osaze Peter Odemwingie.

Fulham are lining up a bid for our own Sami Hyypia.

Liverpool are also raising interest in Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra.
