Bellamy is LFC's real hope to beat Manchester City

The best part of tonight's match (well...it's a freakin 4am in Malaysia for us here!) is that nobody seems to care that it is only a League Cup or Carling Cup, which according to the clubs that have been ousted from the league... it is supposed to be a worth-nothing cup. hahaha... But because of the competing teams are such high-profile clubs, Carling Cup or no Worth Nothing Cup, this time it retain its glamour. I like it!

It's not solely about Evra. We just hate MUFC. Period!

Al Pacino as Don Corleone in Godfather III

Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgement.

This is one of the famous quote by Don Corleone in a helicopter scene in the Godfather III movie can be aptly used in our everyday lives. Capish? It also depends if you have enemies as dangerous as Joey Zaza. I love the movie. I love ALL The Godfathers trilogies. No idea what I'm talking about? Google... my young Skywalker.

So you're not supposed to hate your enemies, as advised by the Lord of the Hoodlums, created by Mario Puzzo (I have the books too!!! Hell... I have the video tape, VCD, DVD...posters...).

IN SEARCH OF A STRIKER FOR LFC

Where are you heading to Mr Bent?

If this is not the funniest story ever, it could be deemed as rather an insulting situation for the poor chap Darren Bent. Just a few days ago, the rumour of him becoming one of the LFC squad member hit the fever stage. Today, Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish has revealed that Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has told him he is not interested in signing Darren Bent.

Liverpool FC is NOT a racist club. Ever!

Oldham Athletic's Tom Adeyemi (2nd R) is calmed down by Liverpool's Steven Gerrard (2nd L) and referee Neil Swarbrick (R) after a fan shouted abuse at him during their FA Cup soccer match against Liverpool at Anfield in Liverpool, northern England, January 6, 2012. - REUTERS

For many of the Asian newspaper, they will only published the post-match report tomorrow 8 January 2012, due to the time difference between UK and Asia. For Malaysia, it's 8 hours ahead. Thus for the matches that played at 8pm in UK, that spells trouble for us here because it is 4am !!!

My concerned is only on one particular issue for the match LFC vs Oldham Athletic at 4am this morning. Even though we won the match in a staggering manner (5 goals against 1), because of that one incident involving Tom Adeyemi, the news tomorrow would focused on the racist chant and overshadowed the whole football story.

We have waited for Andy's left footer for quite a long time. We know it would go in, we know it would be beautiful. Do it again in the Manchester City's match. - AFP

Speaking of a left footer, Oldham Athletic's forward Robbie Simpson was not bad at all. Thumbs up for the effort. It's not easy to beat our Pepe Reina and only such thunder strike would be exceptional. - AFP

LIVERPOOL 5 - OLDHAM ATHLETIC 1. That was the flash I read in my Twitter this morning. A relief and a bit of anger. Relief that we managed to come back from the slumped by Manchester City a few days ago and to score that a high margin, is simply marvellous.

Darren Bent, is he...? Really? Why? hmmm....

He loves to do that at Sunderland.

According to a Mirror journalist via his twitter, Darren Bent is a done deal to join LFC. And he quoted unnamed sources from LFC. Was it Kenny Dalglish himself? Or some one from Standard Chartered Bank (you need money to pay Aston Villa, right?). I read this story at about 9pm Malaysia time.

Somehow it reminds me of Harry Potter... the white owl. HAHAHAHA

NO NEWS ON NEW STRIKER THIS MONTH?

LFC's lethal weapons on the bench in the Manchester City's match. They should be starting in the 2nd match against the Manchester City on 11 January 2012.

No posting since the match against Newcastle United? Then the heavy losses to Manchester City? Nothing out of the ordinary. I have mentioned it before, I won't be commenting on pre and post-matches that too often. So many bloggers are doing it, including who wrote once in every 3 months. I prefer to ponder on something else that is closer to my Red heart & soul.

Tonight, I would like to ask you: does anybody know when would Kenny Dalglish announce a new striker for the squad?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 : MAY WE GROW AS CHAMPION

Obviously we were too happy to be in Anfield that we somehow over-used the scarf around our neck. From left: myself, Mdm Norliza Kamaruddin and Jagdev of The Star on Dec 10, 2011.

I wish all of you : a jolly New Year of 2012. I won't be asking what type of celebration you participated last night, on the New Year's eve. It must have been a blast!!!... I'm not sure if you even awake today! It's New Year and also it's Sunday. So resume your slumber!

The FA's written verdict on Luis Suarez shed more questions than ever.

It was a long read but yet, I couldn't comprehend on the part of ``unreliable and inconsistent'' that FA summaries on Luis Suarez's testimony, The FA report says Suarez's evidence was 'unreliable in matters of critical importance' and 'inconsistent with the contemporaneous evidence, especially the video footage'.

By contrast, the FA found that Evra was 'a credible witness' and that he gave evidence 'in a calm and composed way' and was 'for the most part consistent'.

As I have suggested, Suarez's case fell apart with his admission of using the word `negro' and according to the FA, he used it 7 times.
