Okay... I know I should steer clear of the rag (NOTW - online).
Rob Shepherd - The Fleet Street Brawler.
What a gimp!
Since when did Liverpool have a ****ing Racing Driver in our playing ranks!
Typical tabloid tosh from Rob Shepherd. He's just as bad as that Chelsea biased bald knob who writes for the scummy sun.
Here's the article... Just love it that they can't work out the difference between Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso.... I give you Fernando Alonso - Renault F1 driver... ****s!
Article:
LIVERPOOL fans went berserk a few weeks ago when I dared to suggest on a talkSport show they wouldn't finish in the top four.
I stand by that. In fact there's even more reason to think it and that reason is called Tottenham.
The main premise of my original argument was that Arsenal would be stronger than most predicted and Manchester City's money really would help them muscle in on Chelsea and Manchester United.
So far the signs say the battle at top could be the most open we have seen for years. Tottenham's empathic start adds weight to the theory that they can challenge for Champions League football. That spells even more danger for Rafa Benitez and Liverpool.
That is not just a knee-jerk reaction to Tottenham's 2-1 win over Liverpool last week but the manner of it. Spurs now look to have that alchemy of shape, spirit, stamina and style as emphasised in the 6-1 drubbing of Hull.
It would appear they also have a squad with genuine quality in depth, well equipped to cope if they lost some of their first picks for a while. The same cannot be said of Liverpool who would sorely miss Steven Gerrard for any given time now Xabi Alonso has gone.
Certainly looking at the two benches at White Hart Lane last Sunday, Spurs have more options up front while Liverpool still seem so dependent on Fernando Alonso.
With Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane to start, and Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko as back up, the Spurs strike force looks as strong as ANY in the Premier League, and they have world-class midfielders in Luka Modric and Wilson Palacios.
The defence looks sound and David James may yet arrive to bolster it.
West Ham may well pose Tottenham a stern test this afternoon but it will be Spurs not the Hammers who will be up there when it matters.
Credit must also go to chairman Daniel Levy, who has learned from past mistakes and backed Redknapp, but not to the point of reckless spending on transfer fees and wages.
Tottenham are in a more robust financial shape than most so if come the January transfer window Redknapp wants a couple more players to kick on he could get them.
Despite all the Anfield bravado, no wonder Benitez is already starting to sound like a worried man.
