Thank God, it's over! This was truly the interlull from hell. Not only was our best current player injured for almost two months, but our best former player has been branded "a cheat" and "a liar." I have refrained from covering and incessantly commenting on this whole affair because I am just absolutely sick to death of the British media.

Has Rafa Benitez lied over the fitness of Alberto Aquilani? Is it fair to label Liverpool's manager a liar over the regularly changing estimates about the Italian's return to fitness? That is the question being considered here.
Let's take a look at the evidence.
AUG 7th 2009: Statement on the official Liverpool FC website:
"Liverpool FC confirmed this evening that Alberto Aquilani has successfully completed a medical and agreed a 5-year contract with the club. Click to continue reading...

We think diving is as much a stain on the modern game as the next person, but it's come to the point that when someone wins a penalty the armchair fans instinctively brandish the player a liar and a cheat. Such was the case after Monday's Liverpool v Birmingham match, when Lee Carsley's lunge at David Ngog in the penalty box earned the Reds a penalty kick, a valuable point, and ultimately gave Rafa Benitez a stay of execution.

All the stuff being covered outside the unfriendly confines of the award winning Dirty Tackle...

Sick of those damn strikers getting all the glory? Make like Chacarita defender Mariano Echeverria and steal a pass, sprint up the pitch, pass to yourself, then go top corner on the keeper.

I believe that Spirit of Shankly's ‘Yank Liars Out! approach to ousting the owners is unprofessional, undignified, and lacking in all credibility. Please vote in the poll, which I'm re-posting in a bid to reach as many Liverpool fans as possible.

Spirit of Shankly is made up of a miniscule minority of Liverpool fans yet, amazingly, they purport to represent ALL Liverpool fans. Click to continue reading...

Following Darren Bent's goal against Liverpool set up by this beach ball there is one Liverpool fan who will want the whole episode to go away. The BBC did the decent thing and blurred out the lads face on Match Of The Day... enter The Sun.

Unlucky for this young Liverpool fan The Sun have released a picture of his face asking for his name and no doubt he will be named, shamed and later forced to leave Merseyside and support a new team.

Holler if you don't agree with Hermann Hreidarsson. He was unconvincing when he said that off the pitch problems were not affecting the players at Portsmouth. When you got just 3 points from a possible 24 points, I am inclined to believe otherwise. Saudi businessman Ali Al-Faraj had just completed his takeover of Portsmouth on Monday.

Thanks for Anfield Red for delving into this one. Yet more proof, if needed, that we are being run by a pair of idiots. For those who are unaware of the back story to this one basically Mr Gillett had steadfastly claimed that he didn't make any concrete assurances with regards to the new stadium plans and had in fact stated that it was in fact Tom Hicks who had unwisely stated that work would start on a new stadium within 60 days, but as you can see from this clip he was in fact lying.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsene Wenger's football education has its origins in studying ale-addled Frenchies discussing their woes in his parents' boozer. That's the top tale doing the rounds in this morning's papers along with AW revealing that he has no plans to retire. Thank God (Dennis Bergkamp).

Carlos Tevez blamed his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson as a reason why he left the club, claiming the manager ignored him for two years.

He also claimed the move had nothing to do with the extra £50-60k a week more City were prepared to pay him.

It's odd then that in April, just a couple of months before he signed for City, Carlos Tevez was singing the manager's praises, claiming how fair Ferguson was with the players and what a massive influence he'd had on his career.

Morning, hope we find you well and all set for this afternoon's crunch game against Man City, the lottery winning chavs of football.

Under normal circumstances you'd be talking more about the clubs, the tactics and so on, but of course there's only one story this morning - Emmanuel Adebayor.

I don't know if anybody has covered this, and if they have, fair play. It needed to be mentioned given the curious nature of our defeat against Man Utd at Old Trafford.
When the final whistle went, I was going through a range of negative emotions although I was still proud of the performance the lads gave. Click to continue reading...
