Citeh winning is probably better for Spurs, but I refuse to hope they win ever

Terrific player in his day.

Looked like Wales had turned a bit of a corner recently under his management too.

Rest in Peace.

I am genuinely shocked by this. He was an excellent footballer, and while we don't know them really, he seemed a really decent fella - I liked the guy.

Sad sad news.

Rest in peace.

As for the match, I'm not looking forward to it.

Putting aside the fact that City, in their form, could conceivably tear Liverpool to shreds and make this embarrassing, a win for Liverpool helps everyone except really Liverpool.

If this goes south, its going to go south hard and in a hurry. But Liverpool need the win just to keep pace, while it would infinitely help everyone ahead of them in the standings immensely.

That said, get ready for your first loss City. Go Reds!!

It occurs to me that Suarez may actually have injured his wrist from diving. I really wish he'd cut that crap out.

I remember vintage Torres, tough, strong, going through challenges and fighting off defenders. Even he turned into a whiner near the end and hes a full blown nutcase now.

I guess I shouldnt say that. I think the worst nutcase dramatist in the league right now is Suarez by a long, long ways. Its like hes completely insane and potentially a racist.

At least he hasnt bitten anyone in England yet. Thats a positive.

Lol. "Gone Walkies" is probably the funniest British term I've ever heard.

I wish there was an explanation for Gary Speed. Why would he do that? I can make Welsh jokes, but everything seemed to be going so well for him.

I didnt realize, but Craig Bellamy was withdrawn from the Liverpool squad today because of the death of Gary Speed.

This has been a hell of a game so far.

It's depression. The silent demon. Nobody will ever know the reasons for sure.
While surfing around, I landed it on Stan Collymore's blog (written yesterday) and it's about depression.

Simon Phoenix on for Nasri. He looks really confused, he might not know where he is.

Its a good thing he brought Dzeko on, Balotelli sent off for being an idiot. Two stupid fouls, two honest yellows and hes gone.

On comes Carroll.

Liverpool absolutely dominant the last 10 minutes, get one here late boys. Do NOT concede.
