Goals:
Rooney 47' 50'
Suarez 80'
The worst possible result. Not just a loss, a deserved loss – self-inflicted thanks to a feeble 30 minutes after the restart – but continued, probably increased, focus on the Suarez-Evra contretemps thanks to each acting like spoiled children.

The cat who invaded the pitch during Liverpool and Tottenham's 0-0 draw has become an overnight internet sensation apparently Its name is Tabby, seemingly homeless, loves football, does not suffer from stage fright and could do with a warm, hot dinner as well as a place to stay on Merseyside. So what exactly was the [.

"We don't think he should ever have been away but we are delighted to get him back," Kenny Dalglish said when asked about the return of Luis Suarez following Monday's match against Tottenham. The response from the papers was immediate—and exactly what one would have guessed it would be.

"Kenny Dalglish has risked infuriating Manchester United ahead of Luis Suarez's appearance at Old Trafford next weekend," began the always understated Daily Mail.

What a return it has been for Kenny Dalglish. Only Cardiff City now stand in the way of Liverpool lifting the Carling Cup at Wembley later this month and thus securing the club's first trophy in six years. King Kenny has brought the buzz back to the city. And thankfully, whatever the dramas off the field, everyone at Anfield appears to be pulling in the same direction once again.

If there is one thing I've noticed about the Liverpool fan forums, it's that our level of performance and league position in relation to them is directly correlated to how much they bitch and moan about Spurs and how many posts riddled with bile spewing hatred of us there are.
As you can imagine, this is currently a high proportion.

Over England way, John Terry has been stripped of his national team captaincy. The move comes in the midst of Terry's ongoing prosecution for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, with a trial on the incident set for the summer. Terry's leadership of England was under question before, but the controversy surrounding what he allegedly said to Ferdinand was the tipping point for removing him as captain.

Liverpool boss, Kenny Dalglish has come out and said that there will be no signings in or out of Melwood this window.
After two great results against the Manchester clubs this week, it is easy to think that we have no need to find a striker and a midfielder in the January window.
However, we are seventh in the League, behind unfancied Newcastle and six points behind Chelsea in fourth place.

Get In Bellers!...Liverpool booked their place in the League Cup final at Wembley on Wednesday night after beating Manchester City 3-2 on aggregate. It was a fantastic tie for the neutral as City took the lead twice at a boisterous Anfield but the home side were the better team over the two legs and Craig Bellamy's 73rd minute goal made sure the Reds would be fighting for some silverware next month.

By Chris Wright

Oldham's Tom Adeyemi, a 20-year old lad playing in one of the most prevalent games of his professional career to date, was reduced to tears - I'll say that again, reduced to tears at Anfield last night by a small group of Liverpool-aligned flesh-wastes in the Kop and their toxic, racist oral excreta.

Another weird and unsavoury incident occurred last night during the Liverpool vs Oldham match in which Liverpool comfortably won 5-1 to progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

During the match, Oldham player Tom Adeyemi was visibly shocked and upset at something shouted at him from apparently a member of the Liverpool fan section, and Adeyemi is seen to be close to tears, having to be reassured by Steven Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt.

Oldham have recently updated their badge, what do you think? Wise decision? Hahaha... Owl? Wise?... Ohh nevermind!...Ahh, the magic of the FA Cup. 6 years now since the last time we got our hands on it, feels longer doesn't it? Well Liverpool have Oldham standing in their way at the moment and if they have any aspirations of reaching the final, they will need to deal with Paul Dickov's side first.

Liverpool ended 2010-11 in fantastic form, perhaps even convincing those most hopeful that with a tweak here and a winger there a legitimate run at the title wasn't entirely beyond the realm of possibility. With summer signalling that Damien Comolli and Kenny Dalglish were more interested in rebuilding than refining, though, that hope faced up to growing fears about all the that could go wrong with a largely new starting eleven as the season began.

Apart from Kenny Dalglish's first spell in charge at Anfield, the Roy Evans era is the happiest I've ever been as a Liverpool fan. From 1994 to 1998, Liverpool played fantastic, entertaining football, and were arguably the most exciting team in the country. Indeed, if it wasn't for a suspect defence, Evans' team could've (and should've) won the league title in 1996 or 1997.

Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov would swap his current situation with any Liverpool player in order to fulfil his dream of playing for the Reds.
The 32-year-old began his career in his native Bulgaria with CSKA Sofia before being granted a move to Celtic in the summer of 1999.
It was not until 2006 that Petrov finally realized his ambition of playing in the Barclays Premier League, when he move to Villa Park for £6.

During his time as Liverpool manager, Roy Evans's team had a creditable record against Chelsea, losing only 3 out of 10 games over a four year period. Evans was clearly delighted by his old club's recent victory over Chelsea, but a niggling issue that has affected Liverpool all season was there again in the Chelsea game, and Evans feels that Kenny Dalglish needs to address it as soon as possible.
