Liverpool moved up to eighth in the Barclays Premier League with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Fulham.
Centre back Martin Skrtel handed Liverpool the lead with a fantastic volley following a corner before Skipper Steven Gerrard doubled the advantage, finding the net from a brilliant Stewart Downing's through ball.
West Ham have stepped up their interest in Liverpool striker Andy Carroll by making a £15m-plus
bid that would break the Hammer's transfer record.
The offer would see England forward Carroll initially move on loan for a season with a
commitment to buy the England striker next summer, which is not something that I see Liverpool
going for as they have already dismissed a similar offer from Newcastle.

Fiorentina
Former West Ham winger Valon Behrami hopes to see Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani end his
Liverpool misery by following him to Fiorentina this summer.

Kevin Nolan gave the Hammer's the best possible start scoring after just a minute before Winston
Reid and Matt Taylor added two more goals before half-time to end any hopes of a Fulham comeback.
Andy Carroll made an impressive debut at Upton Park before an injured hamstring ended his game time
midway through the second-half.

The Premier League's £2bn-plus auction of live UK television rights has gone to a second round
with sources indicating a new bidder, thought to be al-Jazeera, has entered the fray against
incumbents BSkyB and ESPN.
Liverpool earned a valuable away win against Aston Villa with two early strikes by Craig Bellamy on
10 mins and a Martin Skrtel header five minutes later.
Villa were there for the taking, however Liverpool failed to press home their advantage.True, Luis
Suarez had two great shots hit the woodwork but mostly the reds played a subdued brand of football,
unsure of whether to go all-out for the jugular and hammer home their advantage or to keep things
tight and keep a clean sheet away from home.
Spoilers: Everybody came out of this set of internationals fit and unscathed and ready to take
on Stoke on Saturday. Except perhaps for Martin Skrtel, though any damage he picked up is going to
be of the mental variety. In any case, September's international break is over and done with, which
means no more worries about Liverpool players getting injured in borderline meaningless games.
Newcastle now are placed  6th in the Premier League table after an eventful and exiting batch of
games today, which saw the Manchester United hammer hapless Arsenal 8-2, and Manchester City hammer
Tottenham 5-1, so as the commentators said it's Manchester 13 London 3. Alan Pardew congrartulates

Just when you think the MLS Discipline Committee isn't going to strike this week, the hammer
comes down and comes down hard.
MLS DC has suspended FC Dallas midfielder Brek Shea for three games and fined him an undisclosed
amount for deliberately kicking the ball at an assistant referee in the 24th minute of the game
against Columbus Crew on May 12.
The hammer came down once again from the league...and this one we sort of expected it to.
Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber has issued the following actions in response to the
behavior of coaches, players and team staff who left their respective technical areas during the
85thminute of the April 21 Chivas USA vs.
The hammer just came down on Houston Dynamo midfielder Colin Clark for the offensive gay slur he
directed a ball boy in Seattle last Friday. Here's the release from the Dynamo:
HOUSTON (Wednesday, March 28, 2012) - Major League Soccer today announced discipline for Houston
Dynamo midfielder Colin Clark.
Our latest guest post sees us welcome Tom Victor. Tom is the Major League Soccer Correspondent for
Footy Matters and you can read a selection of his missives here. He's also a proud Hammer and here
brings his attention to the extraordinary development of family tradition at that storied east
London club.
So many times he's saved us. The forward bursts through, draws back the hammer and pulls the
trigger, eyes not on the ball but on the expectant net only to find that in a whirl the object of
his desire has disappeared, swept away by the sweetest of tackles. No bone or muscle, it's the
timing that has defeated him.
I'm getting very close to my 10 year anniversary of coaching youth soccer, and I guess I'm
reaching that stage where I look back and think 'Oh my God what have I done!' when it comes to
those early years. Blessed with children born 8 years apart, I hope I've learned from my mistakes
coaching my eldest so I can do a better job coaching my youngest as well as all the other kids I
coach.
Frei and Streller put the hammer to Man U and the Red Devils are knocked out of the CL in the
quarters. Ouch. Guess the RAF time just didn't go United's way tonight. Hope you didn't bet on them
to win it all. At least Man U can now focus on winning the League. What? They're in a close 2nd
with Spurs catching up?
Damn. France dropped the hammer on the Canadians. Thieny scores a brace with Abily and Thomis also
knocking in one each. So how dominating were the French? Well, Canada had 7 shots for the entire
game... and none on goal. Possession was pretty much split, but the Canadians were forced into a
physical type game just to try to keep the French from racking up even more goals.
Scott Parker doesn't sleep, he waits...There is no theory of evolution, just a list of animals
Scott Parker allowed to live.Giraffes were created when Scott Parker uppercutted a horseM.C. Hammer
learned the hard way that Scott Parker can touch this.When the boogeyman goes to bed at night he
checks his closet for Chuck Norris, Chuck checks his for Joe Jordan and Joe Jordan checks his for
Scott ParkerScott Parker can slam a revolving doorScott Parker was once stabbed by a knife.
Exciting times, what? Having gone at it hammer, tongs and any other household implement you can
think of last week, the prospect of another rip-roaring performance certainly gets the juices
flowing.
As well as more attacking nous than you can shake a large stick at, our heroes now come
fortified with an added dose of Scott Parker, a particularly handy ingredient on away days such as
these.
England on the box tonight, then, eh? Wembley. The lads. Battle of Britain. Rooney.
Ramsey. Erm, did I mention the lads? Yes, well maybe nothing to get too enlivened about but
there'll at least be a couple of familiar phizogs under the lights this evening.
I put it to you that deadline-day recruit, Scott Parker, put in a tidy shift in Sofia.
Even after Aleandre Pato'o "saw a gap and ran at it" (great quote sometimes football's just a
simple game), the Champions League opening night provided no further letdown, only building with
steam across the continent. Late drama was seemingly a common thread, both in Catalonia and
Germany.
A slow start once again came back to haunt the US as they lost to Panama 2-1 in the Gold Cup
last night. Just as in the World Cup last summer, the U.S. fell behind in the first half, made a
big recovery in the second half, but were not quite able to get back on levels terms. Bob Bradley
has to fix this problem now.
David Beckham's recent misbehaviour did not go unnoticed, and MLS has dropped the hammer on
him.
Beckham was fined an undisclosed amount and suspended one game by the MLS Disciplinary Committee
for his actions during and after the Los Angeles Galaxy's 4-3 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes on
June 30, the league announced on Thursday.
