After the latest round of World Cup qualifiers in the European qualifying zone, Northern Ireland
are on track for qualification after their 1-1 draw in Poland. Scotland kept their slim chances
alive with a 2-0 win at home to Macedonia. The Republic of Ireland secured a vital 2-1 win away in
Cyprus.
Elsewhere results went mostly as expected with the big guns Spain and Italy beating Belgium and
Georgia respectively.
Good news from Anfield as summer signing Alberto Aquilani has begun running after his protracted
ankle problem finally seems to have been cleared up, lets hope he is soon fit for first-team as I
am dying to get a look at the play maker bought to try to replace the Great Xabi Alonso. That's for
another day as we face Hull at Anfield today where we will be looking for a good win to avenge last
season's 2-2 draw in the same fixture when Stevie Gerrrard brought us back from the dead with two
fine goals after Hull had gone two up after a McShane header and a Carra own goal had left us
scratching our heads at half-time.

FC Barcelona arrived in Madrid just hours before their match on Saturday against Getafe. With
Getafe coming off a strong performance in week one manager Pep Guardiola was aware that his team
must not show up unprepared.
The first half started off slow for the blaugrana as the team struggled on offense with Lionel
Messi, Thierry Henry, Andres Iniesta and Dani Alves all starting on the bench.
Do you want to know what the irony is? Wednesday, April 8, 2009 was the busiest day ever here at
the Gunning Hawk. Months later, yesterday that is, we broke that record. You know why it's ironic?
That Wednesday was the day when Adebayor scored that amazing equaliser away at Villareal. Funny,
isn't it?
Continental giants keen on talented winger.
And both Juventus and Bayern Munich want to pay £10m for the privilege of having Aiden
McGeady running about looking quite nippy dribbling the ball about without ever seeming to, somehow
not quite, not really sort of... anyway.
The solution to the above question is simple. You sign his Croatian counterpart Niko Kranjcar.
On a strangely quiet transfer deadline day, the usual unfounded Tottenham rumours abounded:
Hutton's leaving. Bale's leaving. We're signing a second rate centre back (Anton Ferdinand, in this
case).
David Ngog struck the only goal as a much-changed Liverpool side sneaked past a fired-up Leeds in
the Carling Cup on Tuesday night.
The Premier League giants were outplayed by the League One leaders for much of the third-round tie
but Ngog netted against the run of play after 65 minutes.
After beating Leeds midweek, the Reds have been handed a tough tie in the next round.
Liverpool must travel to The Emirates to play Arsenal in the next round.
Tricky match for Rafa's men, will he play all the big guns or will he keep faith with the lads who
won on Tuesday?
All games to be played on week starting 28th October.
