LFC 3 - 1 Blackburn
By CSD | April 13th, 2008I'm not going to be able to comment much on the league games remaining in the season as I have canceled my Setanta subscription. If you happen to catch them, feel free to chatter on these posts about how they went. There's a video in that ...
CL Leg 2: LFC 4 - 2 Arsenal
By CSD | April 8th, 2008What's there to say that hasn't already been said? You've seen the goals. You know the story. The only thing left to do is take a moment to celebrate and then look forward to the next match. I know this video is not from today. It's more of a ...
Arsenal 1 - 1 LFC
By CSD | April 5th, 2008Second verse, same as the first. I wonder what the excuse will be this week. My favorite part of that video is when the announcer wigs out after Crouchie scores. Both managers decided to rest key players and let the subs fight it out. ...
CL 1st Leg: Arsenal 1 - 1 LFC
By CSD | April 2nd, 2008Well I must say this wasn't the thrashing I hoped that the Reds would give Arsenal, but it's the next best thing. You can't complain about coming back to Anfield without having a goal deficit. Arsenal retained possession much ...
LFC 1 - 0 Everton
By CSD | March 30th, 2008And so the man crush on Fernando Torres continues to grow. I really thought this match was going to be high scoring after Torres came up with a brilliant shot only 7" into the first half giving him his 28th club goal. Unfortunately or fortunate ...
And... We're Back!
By CSD | March 25th, 2008The Verizon gods have been kind and instead of having my DSL turned on Thursday, it was turned on Monday. So, after two weeks of moving and fighting with utility people, I'm finally settled. Now I have the time and opportunity to talk about that bunch o
LFC 2 - 1 Reading
By CSD | March 16th, 2008One more notch on the bedpost. Eight matches left and eight points behind the leaders. Oh, and guess who lost this weekend? Just goes to show you, it's a crazy game. I thought the team looked a little tired in this match, but after the pas
LFC 3 - 0 Newcastle Utd.
By CSD | March 8th, 2008Videos nabbed from http://eplmatches.blogspot.com/ 1st half highlights 2nd half highlights This crystal ball I have isn't worth a shit. It did get the win right, though. This one makes it four successive league wins in a row with the boys m
LFC 4 - 0 West Ham--El Niño Strikes Again!
By CSD | March 6th, 2008Thank you, Everton, for keeping our seat warm. I don't really know what else to say other than, "tee-hee!" It's like Christmas came twice this year. All I wanted was for the club to be in good form and now I have it. Apparently, when you have been h
Bolton 1 - 3 LFC
By CSD | March 2nd, 2008Boo-Ya! Every once in a while The Crystal Ball is wrong--OK, every time, but thankfully it was wrong in a good way today. I would say that this was a surprise win, but with the team's current form, it shouldn't have been. But like I said before, we
LFC 3 - 2 Middlesbrough
By CSD | February 23rd, 2008Three brilliant goals and Torres got them all. On to the highlights!
LFC 2 - 0 Inter Milan
By CSD | February 20th, 2008I meant to get this out yesterday, but apparently it was date night for The Offside bloggers, so I ended up going on one too. It's amazing, you put out a strong XI and they win. Both teams came out aggressively, Inter probably a little bit too much
LFC 1 - 2 Barnsley
By CSD | February 16th, 2008This is what happens when you try to focus on cups instead of the league and then underestimate your opponent. Not to take anything from Barnsley, who had excellent defending and a keeper that I think was actually Superman, but Rafa didn't field a seriou
Veni Vidi Blah...LFC 0 - 0 Chelsea
By CSD | February 11th, 2008We came, we saw, well at least we didn't lose. I would post a video of the great match highlights, but there was not any to speak of. The 90 minute contest was full of chances that were not capitalized on. It was, however, worth watching. Both side
Sunderland Recap
By CSD | February 2nd, 2008It's about time that we finally met expectations. The first half looked like more of the same with few opportunities being created by either team. Martin Skrtel made another start at Anfield and showed some quality defending. In the second half, th
Hammers Report and Rafa Tidbits
By CSD | January 30th, 2008In between illegally downloading episodes of The L Word (it's about lesbians, it's BRILLIANT), I caught the match on ESPN's Gamecast Live since the Communists at Setanta and Fox Soccer Channel refuse to air games that I care about. If you've never used g
Aston Villa Post Match Reaction
By CSD | January 22nd, 2008What a way to start out the day. I was enjoying the game on Setanta Broadband when I was called in early to work. “No problem,” I thought. “I can watch the last part in the office. Besides, we’re up 1-0.” In the time that it took me to driv
Technique (and luck) trumps tactics
By ed | December 16th, 2007That was...infuriating. Rafa clearly had the game plan to beat Man Utd today. The team had been well briefed and everyone did what was asked of them, from a tactical perspective. However, Rafa's penchant for buying" seven out ten" players - players who wi
Liverpool through in style.
By ed | December 12th, 2007Wow, that was some result. Needing a win in the uber-hostile atmosphere at l'Olympic Marseille to get into the lucrative last 16 of the Champions League and we come out to stuff l'OM 4-0. Outrageous. Gerrard put away the rebound to the penalty he won a
Quick post-Reading thoughts
By ed | December 10th, 2007Wow. I was away over the weekend and haven't had a chance to see the highlights but I have read some reports etc. (clearly, this being the internet, this makes me an expert!) Sounds as if the result wasn't a true reflection of the game but, having Crou
Liverpool clinical; Anelka profligate | Liverpool 4 - Bolton 0
By ed | December 2nd, 2007In the end, Liverpool cruised to their fifth straight win and scored their 21st goal since that dour 0-0 draw away to Blackburn. But it could have been so different. Bolton made the trip to Anfield and would have been Wandering how they went into the brea
Torres to the rescue | Liverpool 2 - Fulham 0
By ed | November 10th, 2007Liverpool laboured to what was, in the end, a comfortable victory but needed a spark from Spanish tyro, Fernando Torres before they could pull clear of a brave Fulham team. For 80 minutes Liverpool passed the ball crisply and with purpose but, with th
Blackburn 0 - Liverpool 0
By ed | November 3rd, 2007Another game, another draw, another frustrated 90 mins. Blackburn utterly dominated the first half and we looked like my Friday nights 6 aside team. There was no cohesiveness, no interplay and no end product. In fact I believe Ryan Babel had our first
Looking Back; Looking Forward
By ed | November 1st, 2007Last night saw the play a mixed squad of established first-team regulars and up and coming young guns. The result? A 2-1 win over a gritty and determined Cardiff, including one God making his return to Anfield. Robbie is still yet to have scored again
Liverpool 1 - Arsenal 1
By ed | October 30th, 2007Some quick thoughts for me after a very busy week at work: 1. Arsenal played some beautiful flowing football; Liverpool hoofed it forward and hoped it would "stick" to a clearly injured Torres. Who is now even more injured. 2. Alonso is clearly the
Everton 1; Liverpool 2 - Reaction
By ed | October 20th, 2007That was an invaluable win. And if there's anything more satisfying than a close win over the Bluenoses, it's an undeserved win! We had some good spurts - dominating the first 10 minutes - but they were few and far between. Everton hardly deserved thei
Needing some double A beef in the team
By ed | October 8th, 2007Another two points dropped, this time at home and this time against Spurs. We started well, scored a deserved goal and pretty much dominated the first half before falling asleep and letting in a sloppy, sloppy goal. Not content with giving up one goal,
Short term pain for long term gain?
By ed | October 3rd, 2007It's hard to have a season-long view of rotation when the team plays in such a disjointed, insipid and uninspired manner. Perhaps we'll be looking back to September/October as the month where we trod water while others burnt out, but the fact is, that
Liverpool 1; Wigan 0
By ed | September 30th, 2007So Torres played but we didn't win easily. Still, another clean sheet and three more points can't be sneezed at. Apparently Yossi's goal was a (nother) cracker but it won't be on TV here in Canada for another hour or so and I can only find this link wh
Reading 2; Liverpool 4
By ed | September 26th, 2007Phew, what a game. Back and forth and back and forth again before we eased clear. 4-2 doesn’t really do the Liverpool performance justice – Convey’s goal, while a superb strike, was through a veritable bevy of offside Reading players and how Tor
