Struggling but still unbeaten

After 6-0 drubbing of the Rams, the Reds seem to lose steam somehow. A 0-0 away draw at Portsmouth, a lucky 1-1 away draw to Porto in the Champion League followed by 0-0 home draw against our bogey team Birmingham.

The draw at Portsmouth must considered a good result considering most teams return home empty handed. The horror show by the Reds at Porto was the worse under Benitez this season. We scored a lucky equalizer against the run of play and was fortuntate to survive the wave of attack after Pennant was stupidly sent off for his 2nd bookable offence.

The Reds was suppose to cruise against the Boys from St. Andrews but the Blues defence held tight and we failed to break them down. It's 2 points dropped rather than 1 point gained.

I was in Malacca watching the game against the Latics at the JJB Stadium. The Reds were not impressive. Thankfully we won the game 1-0 thanks to a moment of brillance by Youssi.

Still unbeaten in the league.....as we march on.....

Life Without EPL

I'm preparing myself for weekend without EPL or rather total shutoff from soccer. I do not mind missing matches played by other teams but I simply could not shun away from Liverpool matches.

This is a move I have to made in order to save money. Imagine saving $30+ a month on sports channel..that is $300+ a year. I can buy 2 packets of Dryers for my kids each month. Then again, there is a trade off. I rather pay $7 more for my new car (If the bidding is successful) than to pay $10 more for Sports Channel. It's simply daylight robbery by Starhub to increase by $10.70.

All is not lost, I still can watch at my friend's house or my in-law place. Just that I won't be able to catch Liverpool's champion League games which will shown in the wee hours.

Anyway, it's a good thing to be without football as I will be studying again. Less distraction for me as well....

Liverpool Lucky Charm

Eversince I bought this T-shirt, I have been wearing on Saturday when I'm out with my family. So far it proved to be a good omen. Liverpool has not lost since the opening day of the EPL and Champion League matches.

Here it is.....

Silence of the Rams

The peformance was average but it did not stop the Reds from claiming the biggest victory in this season EPL so far. Derby was on the wrong end of a 6-0 demolition. With this victory coupled by the 4-0 win over Tolouse, we are sending strong signal to the likes of the Chelsea, Man Utd & Arsenal that we are a geniune contender.

If not for the daylight robbery by Rob Styles, we would have 12 points. 3 points ahead of Chelsea and 4 points ahead of the Devils with a game in hand. Now we are top due to a superior goal difference.

This season certainly look well for the Reds. With things not well at the Bridge, the Reds are on course for the title. Cheers Reds...

I'm looking forward for every match the Reds play....

A Tribute to Antonio Puerta

ANTONIO PUERTA
1984 - 2007

It was a tragic news across the the football world. The 22 year oldpromising players died on Tuesday in the hospital. He collapsed during a Sunday La Liga match.

Though I followed the EPL but the news really affected me. How could a footballer die just like that? He is so young , he left behind his wife and a children.

My condolence to his family. May you rest in peace.

So far so good

After the season opener win against Villa, We followed up with a hard earned win against Tolouse in the Champion League qualifer , a controversial draw against Chelsea and then a 2-0 win at Sunderland.

It was the most impressive start to a new campagin under the Benitez's era. It would have been 3 win out of 3 matches in domestic games and 4 win out of 4 in as many games if not for a man named "Syles".

Liverpool should have won the game until an intervention by referee Rob Styles. He awarded Chelsea a dubious penalty which should not have given at all. Come on Ref!!! What penalty? During the press conference, he confessed that it was his mistake to award the penalty. So what? You have changed the outcome of the match. The 2 points dropped may be crucial at the end of the season. What the fuck!!

Below are some headlines suited for the mistake:

1) "Styles robbed Liverpool a victory"

2) "Liverpool robbed in styles"

3) "Stylish Styles in Anfield robbery"

I just can't believe it..it just provide Chelsea with an escape route.

No point crying over split milk....so Liverpool came to the Stadium of Light without Captain Gerrard. It was a tough place to play in. Nevertheless, we played a professional game. Guess who scored the 1st goal? The player i dislike the most.....Sissoko...of all people!!!

Anyway..its another 3 points in the bag.

Villa 1 Liverpool 2

What can I say? Great start to the new campaign and great fighting spirit to take all 3 points from assumingly difficult match away to Villa.

Cometh the hour cometh the man. Oh yea..He's our man. His beatifully curled free-kick ensure Liverpool claimed the points.

I'm very positive for the match against Chelsea this Sunday! Come on...we fear no one.
