Whether it's empty, half-baked ‘Spirit of Shankly' rhetoric or brainwashed fans jumping on the ‘Hicks and Gillett are the devil' bandwagon (without actually knowing WHY), there is a damaging and pointless agenda being peddled in the press at the moment by alleged Liverpool fans that needs to be highlighted.

10am, live in the US on FSC
British Daylight Saving Time kicks in on Sunday, which is why the game's at 10. We'll catch up next week. I hate Winter Time so much.

It is fair to say that Paul Tomkins is one of the leading Liverpool writers out there (Brian Reade, Oliver Kay, Tony Barrett and Tony Evans are the others), a reputation built over the years initially on various forums and then on the club's official website.

For most fans, Saturday 16th August means the start of the new season with the visit to Sunderland being penciled into most diaries ever since the draw was made last June. A group of supporters will however be making the trip to the North East for a completely different. Having worked for the past nine months on the project of building a memorial for the great Bob Paisley at his birth-place of Hetton-le-Hole, next Saturday is when they will be going there to officially unveil this memorial.

THE internet is changing the way everyone gets information - especially football fans. What was once the preserve of a small clique of Fleet Street hacks, is now a global, instant, 24/7 business.
