Big Red Machine

Missing Masch a lot. Think today and on wednesday he'd have made a massive difference. If we can grind out results untl we get him and Babel back I'll be happy enough.

Why does it have to be so black and white? As far as I see it we'll buy Keane, and probably have some money left over, I'd guess by the targets we've been linked at somewhere around £5-10m. It's not as simple as "We have zero money, we have to sell Alonso to buy Barry!" - it's probably more likely that a combination of not needing Barry while Alonso is the in squad, and not have all of the money for Barry without selling Alonso first. Just because we aren't buying Barry while Alonso doesn't mean we have no money at ll until we sell Alonso. Just not all of it, and certainly not enough to justify both of them being here next season.

http://101greatgoals.magnify.net/item/82FGJMLQS8BRBLXB Pennants goal. (Only worked in IE for me)

Would play as strong a team as possible. No point in rotation at this point of the seasons. ----------------Reina---------------- Arbeloa-----Carra---Skrtel-----Aurellio ------------Alonso-----Lucas----------- Pennant------Gerrard-------Babel ----------------Torres---------------

Is he playing in the African Cup of nations? If so no one would buy him in jan anyways.

If it carries on this way Babel is gonna scare the hell out of other teams. Coming on with 20-30 mins to go and running rings around defenders and stretching the game. Scoring a loads of goals to. Gonna be a great player.

Press Conference with Rafa just come on Sky, seems relaxed and pretty happy. Says he's not spoke to the Yanks but he's been talking to Rick parry. Is enjoying the porto result. Says he doesn't think Tom Hicks is selling the share in the club but he's thinking about the bolton game and not that stuff. Have to find postives in the past few weeks - better results, good support from fans brings everyone together. Asked if Man City were buying Crouch and Rafa said he doesnt wanna sell and thats hes important and he's not for sale. Professional player and he's working hard will be ready etc etc Said Torres didnt cost £26m or whatever - important player for now and future, creates his own chances and newcaslte misses didnt affect him. Team is confident and happy and we're into a good position. CL in our own hands and the teams playing well and scoring goals. Dificult game against Bolton, theyll play compact and defensive and on the counter attack, be hard to pass and play well, but its like that in all games at Anfield. Have to keep going and move up the league etc etc Agger, Alonso, Aurelio and Pennant still injured. Says City can last the distance and will strength and buy players then jokes and says not Crouch though.

This whole thing is getting Silly. Rafa and G+H had a falling out over transfers in January. Rafa was pissed in his Press Conference. G+H were pissed in a statement. 2 days later we hammered Newcastle and Rafa come out all smiles and said it wasn't serious. Today an article in NOTW sparks a panic frenzy across the net. They release another statment that basically equates to "huh? what? nothins happened at all" and people see it as further evidence that Rafa is off. Madness.

Not buying that. He was asked direct if it was serious. He said it wasn't. This entire panic seems to stem from a Bascombe article and not much else. Personally I think it's all overblown and people are panicing stupidly.

Think he was just annoyed that a Liverpool vs Newcastle press conference constantly kept getting pushed into England issues.
