Spanish starlet Daniel Pacheco has extended his contract with the club until June 30, 2012. The former Barcelona striker has yet to make his competitive debut but featured in Rafael Benitez's first team squad during pre-season. He is a regular member of the reserve team squad and is also a Spanish youth international. Meanwhile, striker Craig Lindfield has had his contract at Anfield terminated by mutual consent. The former FA Youth Cup winner spent last season on loan at Accrington Stanley. PACHECO SIGNS NEW DEAL

How did this fucking skulduggery slip through employment law? Just because I don't smoke why does that mean I'm not allowed to 'nip out' for the odd five minutes roughly every hour and congregate near the back door with assorted other ne'er-do-wells? Could be something to do with the fact higher management has been infiltrated with the smelly bastards, sometimes even at director level, and they're often there too 'having a drag'. It's like some fucking menthol Illuminati. I bet it helps with promotion prospects too, and speeding up I.T requests.

Prem: Gerrard on Lucas | Setanta Steven Gerrard has told the Liverpool supporters to stop criticising under-fire midfielder Lucas Leiva. The Brazil international, 22, has been booed by his own fans this season as he has struggled to find his best form and recently admitted that ‘some people don't trust me yet’. However, he has already received the full backing of boss Rafa Benitez, and Gerrard has now called on the Liverpool fans to get behind the player as he develops. “The criticism he receives does get to me,” he said in the Daily Star Sunday. “I think people forget he’s 22 years old. He’s not 27 or 28. “I remember what I was like at that age and I look at where I am now. “I know that I’m a one-million-percent better player now. I got better with experience. “I made mistakes and learned and it has helped me become the player I am. “Lucas is a good player and I know he’ll continue to get better.” Gerrard has also called for critics to recognise the contribution of the rest of the squad after the team’s recent impressive run. Gerrard and Fernando Torres have taken most of the plaudits after the impressive victories over Real Madrid, Manchester United and Aston Villa, but the club captain feels it has been a team effort. "It's an absolute privilege to captain this football club at any time, but especially when the team is playing the way it is," he said. "It makes my job an awful lot easier when you don't have to talk too much to players because they are just doing their jobs without that being needed. "Confidence is really high right now and we're certainly enjoying playing together. We are playing without fear and without anxiety and I think you're seeing some superb football from us in the last couple of weeks. "I'm playing with magnificent players. Torres and myself have had a lot of pats on the back of late, but it's important to acknowledge our teammates who have been fantastic. "That's from the goalkeeper and the defence right through to the front. "The two full backs have been magnificent lately, the centre backs have been the same. I could go right through the team and everyone is doing their job properly. “Long may that continue and hopefully it will right up until the end of the season. "If we keep playing the way we have been over the last three games then it's going to be an exciting finish." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gerrard really has matured into a true Captain Marvel. The guy is a fucking LEGEND.
