BBC interviewer: "Fantastic goal by Luis Suarez. Would you be proud of that?" Dalglish: "At my age, yes."
Dalglish: "It's interesting - when big Andy plays half decent, nobody comes in and asks an Andy Carroll question".

Was hoping Carroll would start playing well AFTER the Derby next saturday. ****** typical

Steve Fletcher mouthed to the Sky after scoring in dedication to his dad, who died when he was 10. His dad was massive Liverpool fan, and Fletcher was a mascot during the 4-3 Newcastle game. If anyone scored, am glad it was him.
Excitement is drawing in for the derby on the weekend. Going down with a group of Everton lads which should make it even more exciting. Hoping for:
Reina
Kelly - Carra - Coates - Enrique
Lucas - Spearing
Kuyt ----------------- Downing
Suarez - CB/AC
Kelly - Carra - Coates - Enrique
Lucas - Spearing
Kuyt ----------------- Downing
Suarez - CB/AC
If Gerrard is fit enough to start:
Reina
Kelly - Carra - Coates - Enrique
Lucas - Spearing
Kuyt - Gerrard - CB/SD
Suarez
Kelly - Carra - Coates - Enrique
Lucas - Spearing
Kuyt - Gerrard - CB/SD

R.I.P Bill Shankly 30 Years ago Today the Great Man Passed Away
Bill Shankly lives forever - tributes, video and pictures commemorate the passing of a Liverpool FC legend
THIRTY years ago today, Liverpool FC and the football world was stunned by the news that Bill Shankly was dead.
Just seven years after relinquishing his post as manager and at only 68 years of age, Shankly had been admitted to Broadgreen Hospital days earlier following a heart attack and he suffered a second cardiac arrest on September 29 1981 to plunge many people on Merseyside and around the globe into mourning for the man who was the founding father of the modern Liverpool FC and an iconic footballing figure.
The Labour party, whose party conference was taking place in Brighton at the time, stood in silent tribute to Shankly and the following day, Liverpool flew their flag at half mast and held a minute's silence before their European Cup tie against Finnish side Oulu Palloseura, while days later John Toshack, bringing his newly-promoted Swansea team to Anfield for the first time, stripped off his tracksuit to reveal an LFC shirt in honour of his old manager.

His funeral, which took place at St Mary's Church in West Derby, Canon Arnold Myers delivering the eulogy said, "Bill Shankly was a three dimensional man, disciplined, determined and dedicated.
"He redefined civic pride and lifted us to a loyalty and unity greater than ourselves.
"He did this not for himself but for a team, for a vast family, for a city and for an ideal."
Tributes also flooded in from the world of football, a selection of which can be seen over the page along with video interviews about Shankly from Ian St John and Ron Yeats as well an audio slideshow in tribute to the man whose legacy and influence is still felt around Anfield today.

Bill Shankly is dead.
As long as people talk of football and of great deeds and of great men, the name of Bill Shankly will live on.
They will speak of him with awe and affection.
For Shanks was not just a soccer genius, a charismatic, inspirational force.
He won cups and titles, yes.
He also won the hearts of men and women and children the world over.
He walked with the high and mighty, but was never deluded by grandeur.
His love was rooted deeply among the ordinary folk of Liverpool.
He enriched this city immeasurably and today, as we mourn his death, we are also thankful for the life and memory of a splendid man.
John Smith, LFC chairman 1973-90
"Without a shadow of a doubt, he was the main architect of Liverpool's reconstruction.
"He laid the foundations in every possible way and possibly his work off the pitch was even more significant than on it.
"Football throughout the world will be the poorer for his passing. He was more than a great character, he was a national institution and we shall not see his like again."
Bob Paisley, assitant to Shankly 1959-74 and LFC manager 1974-83
"Bill was one of the greatest managers there has ever been.
"I am deeply shocked. Although I knew how seriously ill he was, the news has still come as a great blow."
Sir Matt Busby
"We had a very happy association over the years - I saw him only last week and he was as full of vigour as ever.
"It's a very sad loss to all in football. We have lost a great friend and a great man."
Tom Finney
"Bill was a one-off. He was an honest, down-to-earth character and such a wonderful fellow for the game.
"He achieved success by sheer hard work and dedication. He had no time for skivers and expected people to uphold the good name of football and dedicate themselves to the game and that is how he had such respect from the players."
Ron Yeats
He was a great man. You could not talk to him, you listened.
"His motivation could move mountains."
Phil Thompson
"To Liverpool fans he will always be the great man who brought the club out of a dark tunnel and gave them a glorious light of trophies at the end of it."
Kevin Keegan
"He made me believe in myself and convinced me that I would make it to the top. I doubted my ability at the start but he never did."
Gerry Marsden
"After my wedding day, instead of leaving for my honeymoon, I decided to stay over for the Liverpool v Juventus match.
"I rang Bill and told I wasn't going away, and asked him if he had any tickets for the match.
"He said there weren't any left but I could have his seat and my wife could have his wife's.
"So we saw the match from the box.
"That's the kind of man he was. He'd help anyone out."
Cyril Carr, Lord Mayor of Liverpool
"He was more than a great football manager.
"He was an outstanding symbol of guts, determination and success who fought for the good name of his adopted city at every opportunity."

off topic? but When i played Liverpool today in Career mode on Fifa 12 their team was epic.
This was the team:
Reina
Johnson Carra Samuel Enrique
Kuyt Adam Gerrard Downing
Suarez Rossi
like real life they beat me 2-0
Must be a sign mate
Must be a sign mate
If Liverpool sign Walter Samuel and Giuseppe Rossi I'll swallow some barbed wire, pull it out of my **** and floss myself to death.

Can't see it happening. Would crack me up seeing you do that though.
Defo took a deflection lol.
You're a fraudster!!!!!!!!!
Naaa just kidding. Some fans don't like accepting the truth, and prefer to live in cloud cuckooland. It's like with some Everton fans. They want a top 7 finish. Yeah okay. Stoke are stronger, Liverpool are stronger, Newcastle are stronger....the list goes on. I'm realistic to acknowledge we MAY struggle to get into the top 10. So does DM. I don't think LFC will win the title, but I do think they'll make the top 4.

I agree, we wont win the title, the fct is that United and /city are too strong and Chelsea are at least on a par with us. I predict we finish fourth and may get 3rd if Chelsea slip up but cant see us in the top 2 this season.

Exactly. We have a quality team, but still not better than the Mancs (Both of them).
