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".

Gerrard and Carragher were joined by Rafael Benítez, the Merseyside club's manager, at the premiere of Fifteen Minutes That Shook The World in Liverpool on Monday evening.

Kop favourite Craig Johnston believes Rafa Benitez may have lost the dressing room and that his reign as Liverpool manager is hanging by a thread.
Benitez's side needed a controversial penalty to salvage a 2-2 home draw against Birmingham last Monday night and have won just once since the end of September. Click to continue reading...

I tread lightly as I am intending to bring up one of everyone's favourite subjects, namely diving, referees and what we do about it.I only saw the replays of David Ngog's acrobatics against Liverpool and he has been roundly criticised for his disgraceful and theatrical dive that earned the Scousers an ill-deserved point.

I have to say maybe I was slightly harsh on the boys after the Atletico game the other night as we are sitting pretty at the top of our group with two games to play. Let's face it there are a number of big european sides that are all but comfortable at the moment and will be giving their all to make sure of qualification for the last 16.

Childs Play

Soffo The Greek belled me last Wednesday with an invite of a freebie at The Emirates to watch Arsenal V Liverpool. I arrived to a packed Stadium but couldn't help but wonder if I'd been sucked into a May 09 Emiratian time warp. Wasn't most of this side on the pitch for the FA youth Cup final in spring?

Another weekend passes us by and still the big teams are falling over themselves to not take the initiative in the Premiership title race. Of the top 6 teams, only Chelsea won making the league one on the most open in recent history. Over the past few seasons, one or two teams have really stood out come the end of October.

Following United, the expectation is our lads will create at least five clear cut chances and at the very least, one will get put in the back of the net.

At Anfield yesterday this wasn't the case but the frustration we feel through the hangovers today could have been avoided if several things had been done differently.

¿Se habrán puesto de acuerdo en cuál es la fecha para que haya Clásicos? No lo sé con certeza, pero hubo Clásicos en todo el mundo, demos un repaso.

Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United

Este es un clásico, Mientras los del United gritan consignas contra los "scousers" del Merseyside, los livepudlians como yo también sentimos mucho encono contra los "Diablos rojos", y si bien en la localidad, el Liverpool tiene como rival al Everton, a nivel de la Isla, sería el Manchester United.

There are certains events in life that when it comes down to it, it makes you sit up and say "What's bigger than this?" For example an India vs Pakistan encounter, or the Aussie vs South Africa one. You know it coming when someone says it just a match and nothing more. Personally the latter has been a bigger one for me, but now I have given up on cricket and prefer to sit out of the NSW vs T&T kind of matches, which is exactly the opposite of what I am talking about.

Looks like if some Liverpool fans are given the powers, they will sack Rafa Benitez immediately. The reason? Because we are not at the top of the table at the moment, we have not won all the games we have played so far this season, and we have not won our games by a 5 goals margin, all scored from 20 yards I suppose.

Nottingham Forest put a dent in our title ambitions as what appeared to be a very unmotivated Newcastle side struggled early on.

Forest had the best of the first half and were unfortunate to only go in to the half-time break with a one goal lead. Newcastle were guilty of:

• Giving away possession (Are you listening Marlon Harewood?

Before Gary Neville got fined £5k for his celebration against Liverpool, what irked me the most about Robbie Fowler's five digit salute a week before was that he had no claim to Liverpool's European success.

Whilst wearing City's blue shirt, he had ten years at Liverpool, 330 appearances to his name, and just five trophies.

Rio Ferdinand reckons the fact Carlos Tevez chose to join City over Liverpool proves that the scousers are our bigger rivals.

"The fact Carlos Tevez went to City speaks volumes about the rivalries between Manchester United and both Manchester City and Liverpool," said Rio. "Carlos said he wanted to respect the fans by not joining Liverpool.

Liverpool, Chelsea and United all won fairly uninspiring 1-0 games in the first round of the CL group stage. None of the teams were any great shakes. So let's compare the ledes in the BBC's and ESPN's match reports. I mean, they're probably similar, right?
BBC:
• Liverpool opened their Champions League campaign in unconvincing fashion with a narrow win over Hungarian champions Debrecen. Click to continue reading...

An insight into the treatment and attitudes that for decades have surrounded Liverpool's England heroes from COS's latest writing recruit Michael Williams.

Since the mid 1980's there has been a distance between Scousers and England. In the depression years of the decade Liverpool became a target for the Government and the Southern based media joined in with Thatcher's persecution of the city.

But I thought they lost 1-3? ...and then the Scousers woke up, checked their Twitter accounts and found it had all been just a bad dream. Thanks to Keith Belfast for the tip.

After losing the opening game of the season to Tottenham Hotspur, Rafa Benitez was furious not to be awarded two penalties. Having gone 1-0 down thanks to a great Assou-Ekotto goal, Liverpool were given a lifeline when calamitous goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes charged off his line to needlessly bring down Glen Johnson, who posed no threat to the goal.

I've got a funny feeling about this Liverpool game on Sunday, you know. We might just nick something out of it. We're hardly the best starters to a league season but by the same token neither are the Scousers. All the Alberto Aquilani's in the world can't replace Xabi Alonso so quickly so they'll be a tad vulnerable and if we can get some shots on target and pray our cobbled together defence can repel the considerable might of Fernando Torres, it could just be a tidy little start.

Robbie Fowler was only ever God to a small group of Scousers based in their native Liverpool.
Did Everton fans think he was God?
Did Man United fans?
Did Wigan, Sunderland, Torquay, Burton Albion, or Newport County?
Not to mention every fan from Sydney to Sao Paolo, Dortmund to Dubai. Click to continue reading...

Morning all. I'll be the first to admit I haven't been posting nearly enough this Summer, but I've been reinvigorated by the upcoming start of the season and so I'm back and I wanted to give my thoughts on everything that has happened in the past week or so while I've been in New Hampshire.
So first off we had the Kolo Toure transfer to Manchester City. Click to continue reading...

Steven Gerrard Fighting

Pretty much every day is a slow news day at the moment, so let's take a look at those rat-munchers in Merseyside. The day after losing their opening friendly of the pre-season, Steven Gerrard appeared in court on charges of affray.

The cricket season is upon us and, I for one am loving it. I am a bit of a traditionalist and still enjoy the break from my beloved footie for a few months. I like to forget about it for a couple of months and then start the new season afresh, especially after an Ashes win!! This summer though, I am finding it hard to switch off from the circus that is the Premier League.

As a Liverpool supporter I have a soft spot for Michael Owen.

Now, for the sake of full journalistic disclosure, I must admit I came to the party late. I'm an American who, seduced by the 2006 World Cup, went looking for an English club to support. Through the right mixture of Steven Gerrard, Peter Crouch and a childhood Beatles obsession (I see that puzzled look on your face—more on all this in an upcoming article), I fell in love with Liverpool Football Club.

One well-known Barcelona man who was certainly not thrilled by the Blaugrana's Champions League triumph against Manchester United was Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of international publishing phenomenon 'The Shadow of the Wind' and the biggest-selling contemporary writer in Spanish.
The Catalan capital is the setting for Zafon's works, which have been translated into 45 languages, but the 'mes que un club' (more than a club) mantra has never been one of his. Click to continue reading...

Manchester United have signed Michael Owen on a two year deal. As the rumours mounted that the former Liverpool player was about to join us, the opinion on him was split. RoM rang a poll which, at present, 2007 people voted on.

39% felt that he's a good player and the fact we're getting him on a free makes it a win-win deal for United.

Whew, allow me a second to recover. That United States victory over Spain yesterday was something else, and the football world is still a bit in shock. So while David Villa has a little more time than anticipated to figure out his future, the transfer rumor mill is still churning. Here's what's going on around the world, or so we think.

So having listened to a few unbiased scousers I must concede that Xabi Alonso is the new messiah, a true gent, a great all round footballer and a c*nt, oh sorry I just couldn't keep those lies flowing. I will be so very disappointed if we don't sign the one paced wonder this summer, maybe scousers only value Alonso because they know the rather useless Lucas would have to play more games if Alonso Click to continue reading...

If this is true it will indeed be of great cheer for Red Jersey scousers. Real Madrid look set to chance their entire transfer kitty on Brazilian midfielder Kaka in a world record £56million deal from AC Milan, ending speculation that they are preparing a £20million bid for Liverpool's Xabi Alonso.

A few months ago, Patrice Evra praised Manchester United fans for sticking by the team even after bad results. When Liverpool drew 0-0 at home to West Ham, the scousers booed their team off the pitch, whilst following our 4-1 defeat at home to Liverpool, the fans who remained sang and applauded the� players off the field.
