Liverpool were eliminated from the League Cup due to a 2-1 loss sustained at Arsenal's Ashburton Grove home, but Rafael Benitez has insisted that the defeat will not dilute the feel-good factor that engulfed Anfield following the Manchester United win at the weekend.
Pass-master Fran Merida opened the scoring in the first-half with a long-range effort, but the visitors levelled the game with an equally impressive shot from Emiliano Insua. Click to continue reading...

Most fans in France barely tolerate Raymond Domenech but he has found one in Catherine Renger, a well known chanteur who gives him a dose of unabashed adulation with her song Le Kiffe Raymond ( I fancy Raymond). The lyrics are unlike Leonard Cohen to be sure.

Go on Raymond, you're handsome, you're good
And I imagine just one golden match and then everyone would adore you
And if he attacked my penalty areas I would be without defenders
A transfer, a good pass and long live our colours
Yeah, you're good, you're classy

Arsène Wenger's quest for attacking perfection sees his two centre backs playing with more than a hint of libero.

Portsmouth Vs Liverpool Tickets Still Available!

Reports surfacing today suggest that Rafa Benitez and Javier Mascherano are going to clash over the Argentine midfielders demands for a new improved contract, something our boss is unlikely to give in to, mainly because the Liverpool boss doesn't believe the former West Ham man deserves an increased offer given his very average start to the season.

Ben Williams gave GC 24 free kicks to Brisbane's 12. Yet it was GC's defenders that seemed to be flying in.
To have 2 50-50 penalties turned down is disappointing. To have 4 is suspect or disappointing. This keeps happening to the Roar and you can see why fans stop coming.

"There was a disappointment at the end of last season

Since the start of the new season, there has hardly been week go by that hasn't seen a full roster of midweek matches take place. This, however, hasn't ever been thus and until surprisingly recently football under floodlights was all but barred by the Football Association. Much as many of us feel that three o'clock on a Saturday afternoon is the "natural" home for matches, there remains something special about matches played in the evening.

Yes indeed, as you all may know, it's not often I give credit to that part of a man's anatomy. Perhaps it's delirium brought on by yet another migraine - but hey, at least I got to go home from work, all I had to do was suffer excruciating pain and uncontrollable vomiting. Yummy.

"Who's that," said the young girl watching the team in Australian colours fighting the team in Chinese colours on the telly.
"That's the Matildas," replied the Mum.
Well I saw my friend Tom Sermanni defending the Young Matildas and I know some of the shenanigans that have gone on in games against the Chinese and North Koreans in the past but what the team did in response to a player allegedly being tripped, debatable from the footage in my opinion, what the player and team did is.

Sometimes you wonder what to believe and what not in the game of football and after seeing a photo of Kolo Toure happy with a Manchester City jersey, well, it comes natural to ask questions.

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.

Black and hot pink are not the best colours for a football strip. And Everton's new away strip will no doubt, win the award for worst strip of the season, easily beating Newcastle's banana strip.

Here we are again, another week on, and the transfer market has hardly broken its moorings as yet. Yes, we've seen Man Utd buy two players, Liverpool one, but really, you're left with the suspicion that there's a lot more to come.

We've got the whole of July before the real pre-season stuff begins, and another month after that for transfers to be done, so clearly, these really are the early stages of squad rebuilding.
