Real Madrid manager Juande Ramos, formerly of Tottenham, criticized Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez for giving up on Robbie Keane after half a season. “You can’t tell me Robbie will not score goals at a top club,” Ramos is quoted as saying in The Sun. “He is a top player and I don’t think he did […]

For Chelsea fans, this is another case of 'here we go again'. The Chelsea international manager merry-go-round continued Tuesday after Roman went all guns blazing after the man who has been managing the national team of his birth. Despite all the media reports of Avram Grant, Frank Rijkaard, even the team of Giofranco Zola and […]

What is Rafa Benitez playing at? Liverpool have had a nightmare January and from being out in front, now find themselves back amongst their rivals in third place, having dropped 6 points in the last 3 league games. Comparing their performances in the Premiership since their emphatic win at Newcastle on December 28th, they seem like a different […]

The sooner Rafa Benitez keeps his mouth shut about how teams are playing against Liverpool, even in off handed ways, and focuses on getting your team back on the winning path; the better off you will be. The comments made after Liverpool's 1-1 draw at the JJB against Wigan in my mind read like a […]

American billionaire Robert Kraft may make a £270m bid for George Gillett’s 50 percent share of Liverpool. "We haven't ruled it out completely," Kraft told Sky Sports News. "But I'm worried a little bit. I want to be able to win whatever we do. But there are no rules in terms of spending on players. […]

Three weeks is a long time in football and Liverpool must be wondering why there season is beginning to splutter just when they needed to kick on. The game against Newcastle United on December 28th easily saw Liverpool's best performance of the season so far, completely ripping the Geordie's apart at will. If it wasn't for […]

How would you like to have been a Manchester City or Blackburn Rovers fan heading from the north of England to the south, only to do a turnabout and head home after finding out your upcoming fixture was canceled? I know if it was me, a few words of the four letter variety would have […]

Watch the video of Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez who has launched a blistering attack against Sir Alex Ferguson in a Liverpool press conference early Friday morning.

It's been the same story from Liverpool and Arsenal all season. To become Premier League champions, both teams lack the consistency needed not only in their results, but also in their performances on the pitch. Saturday was another perfect example as both teams underwhelmed against opposition they should have beaten. The moment Arsenal stepped into […]

It's so rare these days that a football manager says anything new or remotely intelligent other than the rehearsed lines he memorizes from media training. Other than Joe Kinnear, of course. But Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari said so many refreshing things on Friday that I felt compelled to write about it. When asked about […]

This may be Darren Farley's only 15 minutes of fame. The football fan has created a hysterical collection of impersonations of several characters familiar with Liverpool FC. Rafa Benitez, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen and Peter Crouch. If you haven't seen the video yet, be sure to watch it and enjoy. [display_podcast] Credit: 3pm […]

One game doth not a champion make. In Liverpool's case, their victory against Manchester United at Anfield was a moral victory, a win that was in the long time making, but I don't believe it signifies that the Reds are now title material. Wake me up when they beat Man United at Old Trafford. Then […]

Finally. We finally got a Premier League weekend where we had two matches with teams playing their hearts out and giving it 100%. Too often this season the majority of matches have been one-sided and negative. But fair play to Manchester City and Liverpool, and Everton and Newcastle for two thoroughly exciting matches. In both […]
