English Premier League 08/09

Here we go again. The start of the new football season. For us Liverpool fans, it's been the same story year after year. With the start of the new season comes renewed hope for a title challenge but we always get disappointed in the end. And all the while Man Utd have been slowly creeping up to our record of 18 league titles. Hopefully this year it's different.

Good start to this year's campaign. It could have easily turned out differently. Poor first half by Liverpool, better show in the second half. But when Torres and Keane got in the way, I was starting to think this wasn't our day. Torres is king though, he starts the season the way he ended the last.

I've one question though. Plessis ahead of Alonso? What the fuck Rafa, what the fuck? Seriously, he annoys me at times with his decisions. I don't think it was coincidence that the appearance of Alonso coincided with an improved performance by Liverpool.

Alonso is class. Barry is alright but he should never be bought at the expense of selling off Alonso. That's just daft. Instead, money can be better off spent buying some quality wide players. Seriously Rafa, get your priorities straight. Geez.

On a unrelated note, well done Lee Chong Wei. We're at least guaranteed a silver medal but let's do the fantastic and pull off a win against Lin Dan on his home turf and with that earn our first Olympic gold medal. Go Chong Wei!
