Liverpool FC

You could read the entire report. It's there for anyone to read, and the 'Suarez doesn't appear to be a racist' is one sentence out of a long, long report. I've read bits of it, and it's very extensive. It states a lot of things, and it's more reliable than anything any party will come up with.

We've decided not to appeal Luis Suarez's ban. Eventually his eight match ban starts tonight. If Liverpool progress in the FA Cup (against Oldham Athletic at Anfield), 4 of the 8 games Luis Suarez will miss will be cup games.

Statement from Liverpool FC - Liverpool FC

As if things couldn't get any worse, our most threatening strike duo in Gerrard and Bellamy have been benched! As for City, Balotelli and Nasri miss out owing to illness.

Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique; Downing, Henderson, Adam, Spearing, Kuyt; Carroll

That is a weak, weak Liverpool lineup. How on earth does Adam earn another reprieve is really beyond me.

Nasri out is a blessing, he's awful. Milner starts on his birthday. No Balo is bittersweet, he probably would have scored a hat-trick in the first 15 minutes then get sent off. I sincerely hope we beat you 8-0 and a bonfire is started using all of those Suarez shirts.

Nevermind, just saw the weather. Pouring rain and extreme winds. That and Dzeko's starting, so there goes every chance of us scoring a goal.

Since the World Cup we've had proof that Luis Suarez is: a CHEATER and now we have proof that he's a racist spic too. I hope he brakes a leg and is never able to play football again.

I really, really hope this was intentional.

Otherwise you are the stupidest person to post here since Lee hung up his boots.

"Racist spic" doesn't even deserve a reply, mate.
Is there any news on Liverpool going for players this window?

only rumours from what I have read, loudest being Luuk de Jong from FC Twente, and Darren Bent from Aston Villa.

I like De Jong. Since I now live in Enschede, I get to see him play quite a few times.
The best thing for him would probably be to stay in Holland for a few years and then move on to a bigger club.

I heard Darren Bent........ not sure he's the right man to save your season..... also considering how much Villa paid for him last year, I think you'd have to part with at least 25m...... sounds like another overpriced Dagliesh domestic signing to me........

Bent is another average player linked with Liverpool but at least he'll score some goals unlike big Carroll.

yeah, I've read that Villa slapped a 24m price tag on him. Not sure about him.
we do need a finisher though, and players in the January transfer window are bound to be overpriced..

That would be a tragic signing. Can't imagine this supposed "Moneyball" front office would allow that one.

Y U NO BRING HESKEY???

You would have the attack line covered for the rest of the century.

This. I'm really really hoping they don't sign him, especially for that price tag!

kay it's Liverpool back in action again tonight at Anfield against Oldham Athletic in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Ideally I'd like a draw. Why?

Draw => FA Cup replay => Extra Cup game for Liverpool => Sooner the return of Suarez to PL football.

So if Liverpool draw tonight and win their replay match at Oldham, then Suarez will miss only 2 PL games against Stoke [H] and Bolton (A). He'll back for the clash against Wolves (A). Else if 'Pool win tonight, he'll miss the Wolves game and will be back against Spurs at Anfield.

P.S: Dalglish, name a 3rd string XI and play for a draw.

Haha is it really worth knackering the rest of your squad with an extra game just to get Suarez back a PL game earlier?

In Liverpool's case, probably yes.

Great result against Oldham yesterday. Good to see Downing finally getting of the mark for Liverpool. Not sure why Gerrard and Bellamy started though, considering we've got an important midweek fixture against City in the Carling Cup followed by a league fixture at home to Stoke.

Important Carling Cup matches don't exist.
