Liverpool 4 Fulham 0

What a wierd week!Two 4-0 wins with the Maktoum takeover sandwiched in the middle.This week the opposite to last weeks game was achieved.Four first half goals last week and this week 4 second half goals with no reply in either.I wonder if this has ever happened before!Anyone out there know! I remember back in the sixties a reverse score against Spurs i think over the easter period, cant quite remember but i think it was 5-1 one game and 1-5 the other! let us know if you can remember!

Back to this week! A solid performance from Liverpool although Fulham held their own in the first half.There was a few scares in the Fulham goalmouth and a few shouts for hand ball in the box.Think the ref got them both right though so 0-0 at haldftime possibly about right!

Third time lucky in the second half though as again the ball was handled this time from a shot from Kuyt.Gerrard scored from the rebound after his poor penalty was parried straight back to him!The second goal was significant in that it was Jamie Carraghers first premiership goal in 8 years!!At this point it really was game over!
A third was to follow from the head of Garcia from a Bellamy cross and Mark Gonzalez made it four with the last kick of the game from a free kick!

The reds sit fourth in the table tonight and having secured a last 16 place in the Champions League it has been a great week.With Gonzale
z back from injury quicker than expected and Alonsos return all of a sudden the Reds look like their old selves lets hope it continues!

REDS TAKEOVER!!!

Although the official LFC website has no news on the proposed takeover the national newspapers are full of it.The DIC finance group which is the finance or business arm of the Maktoum empire in Dubai are reportedly the interested party.A £450m buy out has been suggested valuing LFC shares at £4500.David Moores is reported as wanting to hold onto a 10% share as a lifelong president.LFC directors are welcoming these overtures as DIC have made it clear to the club that the day to day running will still be in their hands although the finance director of DIC is expected to become the new chairman with Rick PARRY being retained as chief executive.

Fans have expressed mixed feelings about the possible takeover.It is hard to see how the character and culture of the club will remain intact.Multi millionaires taking over top sides in the premiership is fast becoming the norm.Liverpool however are in debt and with the spiralling costs of a new stadium on the horizon it is inevitable the current set up at Anfield simply doesnt have the kind of money required.The choice is simple.No money means Liverpool will inevitably slide into a permanent also ran like most of the premiership.Just being a premiership club is not equal to the expectations of either club nor fans.In order to compete with Man Utd and Chelsea in particular there has to be the finance in place to bring better quality players to the club. If the fans are the heart of the club then no matter where we play or who is in charge then the millionaires cant buy the fans or their humour.
