fine owen did his time here but when we needed him he left.

in 2 occassions he could have returned, we waited & hope he would fend of newcastle offer after RMadrid, he didnt. (snub no 1). In the opportunity he could then leave newcastle after they were relegated, He choose to join the team He dreamed of playing. It was his great wish (dream) to play IN old trafford (he even said it while at LFC) (snub no 2). We never officially lobbied for his return (if as how some of you younger guys put it), but you can see both carra & gerrard was in favour (& wish) of his return to redeem his status.

Liverpool FC stance was 'cheap' as we sold for peanuts & RM asked for 2 times the value in return, IF he had snub Newcastles offer, then LFc can negotiate with RM. come on Owen came off the ranks of the junoirs at LFc, he became OWEN (the wonder kid) because of LFC.

so owen is owen. if you count the season he left us thats 3 times he snub us for 'better' clubs.
so owen is owen. thank you for th e 2 goals FA cup final. (we certainly would still needed your help, but hey there are bigger clubs to him than LFc.

I'm sorry but I'm begining to think some LFc fans 'mudah lupa'. oh thats right we believe the LFC board/owners & everything now RH has to 'tell' us.

I dont blame RH, he has done some couple of successes in the continent. Managing "LIVERPOOL' is dream come true, He is at an aged where knowing the circumstances that HE is given the opportunity of a lifetime. Its like someone offering you a million bucks to be here but under strict orders NOT to screw with the owners. RH deeply knows even with calibre, he seriously would not have been considered but in transition, he is asked to take the task.


as duke red mentioned, mascherano was a somebody even before he joined west ham. HE NEVER played for west ham (unused sub) cause the manager felt he didnt fit in his plans. We know both tavez & mascherano was used as a bait for some rich owner who wanted to buy into west ham. west ham 'never' officially owned the player (they never had the money to buy the argentina intenationals in the first place).

sigh what has LFc become? Even jose mourinho thinks LFc is a poison chalice. He wont even if offered (to manage) at the current (ownership) situation.

Cyprus 2nd goal.. Meireles costly mistake.. hope he wont do that while playing for us.. huhu..

saw that..let hope he'll play the best for us..

Why did Spain have to play Torres knowing very well that he is just returning to full fitness, the clubs is making all the effort to ensure that he returns to his prolific best and here you have Spain using him when there are many other options out there, come on a Spanish "B" team could have beaten Liechtenstein quite convincingly, was Torres really needed?
Can't believe the Spanish FA can't at least give due consideration the the club's plea

torres wanted to play for spain so the club should not block it IMHO. it good for his match fitness and as it turned up he got himself a brace and lift up his morale.

if he ended up injured then it will be a disaster. thank god nothing happened. but i believe the club and torres know what they are doing.

it is a positive thing and we cant block what torres want to do , if he feel happy to play for spain then let he play and let him happy , as the return he scored 2 goals and lifted up his morale and is a good things for us

anyways, he was subbed out after he scored his 2nd

so i guess thats good for morale, fitness, confidence, energy and injury

Hi,

Where can we watch Jamie testimonial today?

its good torres had some playing time... to regain his sharpness and agility.

but the liechestein keeper really... haha.... beaten twice at the near post.

and to be fair to Meireles... the portugal keeper wasnt that great either.

but good games for our players...


England, Spain and the Dutch winning. and Meireles on the score sheet.

kuyt , torress, benayoun, miereless,

all played well =.=

ex liverpool and liverpool players playing well

lol

What do you guys think bout Carra's statement that it was Souness who knocked Liverpool off our perch?

1000% agree with that statement

souness, never really achieve anything throughout his management career. how the hell he can condemn about Rafa Benitez's regime!!!!

hope nothing happens to our beloved Torres while hes away on international duty,now that he scored few goals later when he returns he'll be better than ever and starts winning us every match haha

astro got show carra's testimonial match? no right? where can watch it then?

Jerzy Dudek, Stephen Wright, Steve Finnan, Stephen Warnock, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Emile Heskey, Michael Owen, Luis Garcia, Jamie Carragher, Jay Spearing,

what a team..
we won 4-1..

carra scored 2... did he score a penalty against ourselves? LOL.

Carra 23 Legend

I think Souness clearly screwed up at the worst time, it was a period where the Premier League and the Champions League was beginning and his mistakes clearly caused great financial loses to the club

any link to the video highlight..?

Current stars Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole turned out for the Reds, who also welcomed back old favourites Luis Garcia, Emile Heskey and Michael Owen.

Carragher converted a penalty for Liverpool in the first half, before scoring from the spot for Everton, the team he supported as a boy.

The Liverpool defender is celebrating 16 years of service at Anfield.

Club captain Gerrard played the first 10 minutes, just hours after helping England to a 4-0 win over Bulgaria at Wembley on Friday night.

“Because I’m so close to Jamie, not just as a team-mate but as a friend, I wanted to be here to share it with him,” said the
England skipper. “I asked for permission to fly in and out and have a small cameo and Capello was fine with it, although I’m sure his decision was based on beating Bulgaria 4-0.”

Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier, who has been linked with a return to the Premier League with Aston Villa, sat alongside Roy Hodgson in the dugout.

“I think it took a lot for him to come back,” said Carragher about Owen. “He took a bit of stick at the beginning but he won them around as the game went on and people respected that he had got involved.”

Owen won the penalty for the opener a minute before half-time, when his shot struck the arm of Jose Baxter, allowing Carragher to step up and slot past Iain Turner.

Garcia, currently playing for Greek side Panathinaikos, then added a second after good work by Cole and Heskey on the right side of the penalty box.

Cole volleyed in Liverpool’s third before reserve team striker Nathan Eccleston rounded off the scoring.

But when Carragher fouled James Vaughan in the Liverpool penalty area, the centre-half himself stepped up to fire an own goal beyond Brad Jones from the spot.

With six own goals in competitive games, Carragher still holds the unenviable record of having scored more goals against Liverpool than for them.

With an impressive 34,631 fans in attendance, Carragher is hoping that the proceeds of the game will top £1m for his 23 foundation and other local charities.

Saw the discussion on Owen and Mascherano a couple of pages earlier. Didn't want to really reopen the debate about loyalty and whether they are right in doing that.

Just want to add that Mascherano wasn't a nobody when he came over with Tevez. Both him and Tevez were bought by Kia Joorabchian, personally and loaned out to West Ham. In fact, Mascherano was so highly rated, even more than Tevez, that in the loan agreement between Joorabchian and West Ham, that if Mascherano played more than 15 games for West Ham, there has to be a "fee" of 5 milliion paid to Joorabchian, and if Mascherano play for 20 games or more, West Ham HAS to buy him for 20 Million. That is the real reason that he was sitting on the bench for West Ham,not because he was a nobody, he was an even bigger star then Tevez then. Just that none of us (well not many anyway) have heard of him before hand.
