I have every faith Henderson will step up next season in Gerrard's absence, the difficulty Henderson has had is that he has been shoe horned to accommodate Gerrard, and vice versa with other players.

I like how this deal sprang out of nowhere - with most journalists saying we had no interest in him - and they're all now scrabbling to try and stay ahead of the story, with fresh twists like "behaviour clauses" and "will he face City?".

My thinking a while back was that I thought the club had something up their sleeve.

Not that I think it was their intention to drag it out until this point, but I think it is clear talks have beent taking place for quite some time.

I feel sorry for Remy, if indeed the medical is the reason he isn't joining Liverpool, that effectively rules him out of playing for a cub of our stature for the rest of his career.

12 games to go. More preperation time than anyone else, more time in between games than anyone else. Some big teams still to come to Anfield.

The Arsenal loss was a ball ache, gutted not to be in a competition which was looking like it could be an easy route to Wembley, you can't have it all though and the players put in a good shift. It was very much a 'shit happens' encounter and I am happy with the players showing.

But I couldn't help but feel this result really gives us a hell of a chance to push on in the league., it's a 20 minute head start on an exam paper, Brendan has enough time with his players to impose his tactics on them in preperation for the next game. With fitness surely now not going to be a problem, and with the quality we have infront of goal.

I'm very much of the opinion that the oppertunity the reds have infront of them is something not many teams will have the chance of getting. Primed for a title challenge with no other distractions.

Do we hold our team to a standard that the likes of Arsenal, City and United have been in the past? Or do we take a different approach and simply play the 'Just happy to be here card'?

Is it wrong to expect perfection?

I think we can, and I think we will come close. I can't see us imploding, but by the same token I can see us missing out because of silly points dropped v the likes of West Brom.

Though that being said, it could be argued City could end up thinking the same as well.We need to take it each game as it comes though, it's very very close and we could just as easily finish outside the top four which scares me just as much as the prospect of winning the league excites me.

We need 3 things to go right

• No injuries
• No Kolo Toure backpasses
• Rodgers to keep winning the tactical battles

Just put a deposit down on this

Henderson makes the side look a lot more put together, a lot more consistent and he dictates the play very well.

I love the guy

No...It cannot be...Purple Aki?

Mourinho learns to finally laugh at the Luis Garcia ghost goal

Is that Ant Shimmin in the background ???

Nope.

I would not wear those utterly shit trabs

That Fulham game.

Jesus fucking wept.

How's everyone's hounds dealing with the heat wave? I didn't think mine could sleep more than he did usually. I was wrong

 

House stinks as we are wetting him all the time to keep him cool

Biscan loves the heat, when he gets too hot he goes indoors or in the shade. In-between eating, drinking, shitting, playing and humping the nearest teddy he's got it sorted.

Can only repeat the sentiments said so far.

:(

This is such an incredibly unique case that nobody has all the answers.How could two children of that age do such a thing?.If...they werent in that place at that time would they have eventually done it to another child?.I doubt it personally.One thing is for sure,they will live with it for the rest of their lives.I think this makes them a potential danger when released.

Make no mistake, they weren't born evil and I agree with much of what you are saying.

In the rush to attempt to understand the reasoning behind why they did this, you have two parents whose lives had been completely decimated.

I can't imagine what they must be going through now.

The amount of people who look at those three kids involved in what happened and only see one victim never fails to depress me.

What about the parents of James Bulger?

I've read some of the interviews his father has conducted and it's incredibly upsetting. I think they have been very much shit on by many people or rather the justice system

It's a cluster fuck of sadness this whole story. Regardless of if he should have been released again, how do you begin to remedy those two twisted individuals. How can they possibly lead normal lives or contribute to society?

It could be a blessing in disguise really. Reina hasn't been the player he once was, but I've long held the belief our defence and perhaps goal keeper need a complete do over.

I don't see what Benitez has done that is so good with Chelsea.

He won a trophy with the Champions of Europe and finished 3rd spot.

It's sort of expected with the quality he had surely?

Gutted

If half our manager had the will to win like he did we'd have been much more successful in recent years.

He's the master of the dark arts

Can't cope. Jamie Carragher is the closest thing will we will ever get to a true fan on the pitch. There will never be another like him.

There isn't anything I can say that hasn't been said already. But he was one of us, no politics, no ego, just a local lad who kept true to his roots and became a Champion of Europe.

Have they built it yet?

Not sure if he's a twat either

I'm ambivalent if that is the right word.

But he's not scouse.
