Are you still in a state of shock over another poor result ? Did anyone think we'd follow up the great result against Man Utd with a 3-1 loss to Fulham ? It's becoming increasingly difficult to defend LFC's run of poor results.

Irrespective of what some would have you believe, it is foolhardy to try and predict at an early age which players can make it at any professional club, let alone one with Liverpool's ambitions.

The trouble with nostalgia is that there's no future in it. I don't really do nostalgia, probably something to do with the onset of senility.

Don't you love the Carling Cup? I adore it, the atmosphere around the Emirates is always fantastic with everyone sort of relaxed knowing that this cup is not our major objective of the season.
