Surely a good defence doesn't turn bad overnight and therefore a move for new additions at the back is a tad of a knee-jerk reaction?

WEST HAM could have a fight on their hands to keep their star players after reports emerged that Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is planning a £15million double raid for defenders Matthew Upson and Herita Ilunga.

Liverpool have risked a furore over a film starring Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher that portrays Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, as a whisky-guzzling drunk and Gary Neville, the club's captain, as a rat who "hates Scousers".

Liverpool's European Cup win in 2005 was one of the most incredible moments in their history. It stands to reason that somebody would make a film about it and I suppose it also makes sense they wouldn't be able to do so without including United.

Fifteen Minutes That Shook The World had its premiere on Monday night, attended by Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Rafael Benitez.

The Past few weeks have seen the worst crisis period of your wonderful career. There are times I used to think what made you quit as a Valencia coach and join Liverpool. You had two La Liga titles and a Uefa cup glory with a meek Valencia side.

"Praising John Terry for the win at the bridge is like awarding the Oscar for the best dialogues to "CAST AWAY". Abstruse, incongruous, inaccurate and so totally dumb."

OK, so we dropped two points against lowly Birmingham at home in the Premier League to leave us 11 points behind table-toppers Chelsea but, its not the end of the world.
That's because we put our best performance of the season and we could have and should have won this match.
Liverpool played some really good positive football, mounting wave after wave of attack for the full ninety minutes. Click to continue reading...

Ain't that just the way that life goes down down down

Well, it was bound to happen. As sure as eggs is eggs, the sky is blue and that Mrs. Marlon King will be enjoying a nice relaxing few months, John Terry was bound to score the winner against Man Utd sooner or later.

Despite the doom and gloom of the last few weeks - and amid the continued misplaced vitriol towards the owners - there are plenty of reasons for Liverpool fans to be positive at the moment.
As many people who visit this regularly will know, I take a critical, realist approach to LFC. Within that approach, I always try and be fair, and there is plenty of evidence for that on the site. Click to continue reading...

A kick in the stomach. There's no better way to describe a game where, with a squad decimated by injuries, Liverpool went to Lyon and totally dominated. With better finishing, the contest should have been over by half time and when Ryan Babel scored, it looked as if Liverpool were going to get a much merited win. Click to continue reading...

It's been 10 years since Arsenal fell against Tottenham in the Premier League, and Saturday at the Emirates was no different.

We are twins, lookalikes. But between us, there is a difference of heaven and earth. I'm the most celebrated defender at my club, while he's a young upstart. I'm the most uninspiring captain English football has ever seen, while he's yet to captain any side higher than a reserve side in the Swiss Third Division.

Before I write this, let me admit it's almost 3am and I'm very drunk. It's Halloween, I look like a zombie, and I've been talking about United all evening.

In my drunkard status I have settled on several points of view:

What goes around comes around eh? Less than a week after hauling Michael Owen down as the last man, Jamie Carragher got his just desserts. In the first half, Carragher fell in to Zamora in the penalty area but the referee let him off the hook again.
