RED WATCH: Drawing strength from the fact Chelsea can be outplayed again

ALL of the words used to describe the scarcely believable climax to Tuesday night’s game seem somehow inadequate to convey the gut-wrenching disappointment that suddenly fell upon us deep into stoppage time. Calamitous. Cruel. Catastrophic. Yep, it felt like all that and more. Read

RED WATCH: Fernando Torres is the new king of the Kop

“I CAN’T explain it but I’m always more confident when I am facing that end of the pitch.” Read

REDWATCH: Time to treat Owen like the legend he is

THE visit of Newcastle United on Saturday offers us the chance to redeem ourselves for one of the more shameful events seen in Anfield in recent years – the booing of Michael Owen on his first return to the club on Boxing Day 2005. Read

RED WATCH: Rafa’s a consummate tactician - on the euro stage

RAFA BENITEZ had taken so much flak this week that it was a wonder Mohamed Al-Fayed had not accused him of being part of the conspiracy to murder Princess Diana. Read

RED WATCH: Fans are now the last consideration

IT must have been a busy time for the RSPCA last week. All those camels with broken backs, courtesy of the barrel-load of straws dropped on them by Richard Scudamore, the Premier League chief executive. Read

RED WATCH: Dream of LFC fans’ takeover will remain just that

FAN power is all the rage at the moment, from Anfield to Accrington, but the demands on the individual fan illustrates the gulf between the European elite and a club struggling in the bottom half of League Two. Read

RED WATCH: Proof we Havant lost it

CALL me an old softy, but last Saturday afternoon was the perfect antidote to the depressing fortnight that had preceded it. Read

RED WATCH: Fans becoming problem rather than solution

THERE was a time when a crisis at Liverpool was being only two points clear at the top of the table. And actually being in second place was considered such a seismic disturbance that the papers would trumpet ‘what’s gone wrong at Liverpool?’ Read

RED WATCH: Klinsmann a strange choice for expert view

ACCORDING to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, public relations originated in the USA in the early 20th century. In the early 21st, they seem to have lost their touch. Read

RED WATCH: Rumours just won’t go away

JUST how safe is Rafa’s job? Of course if the national Press were to be believed and any attention paid to the lunatics who bombard Six-O-Six every week, he’d have gone several weeks ago. Read

RED WATCH: Happy ending for tale of two differing teams

IT WAS the best of times; it was the worst of times. Read

RED WATCH: Fan power brings sense to dispute

IT’S not known whether Mahatma Gandhi was a Liverpool fan, but he would not have felt out of place in the streets around Anfield last Wednesday night. Read

Red Watch: No winners in our public spat

A FEW weeks ago you could have been forgiven for thinking that Rafa Benitez was the antichrist, sent from the deepest recesses of Goodison Park to confuse us with coaching staff speaking strange tongues, plagues of sub-standard defenders and a team of rotating heads. Read

Red Watch: Some don't want England to make it

AS THE nation settles down in front of the telly for another night of teeth-grinding, nail-biting agony that is the curse of being remotely interested in the fortunes of the national team, you could be forgiven for harbouring a sneaking feeling that not everyone watching will be devastated if we fail to garner the single point which will see us entering Austria and Switzerland next summer, if not quite by the back door, then certainly while the doorman’s paying the milk bill.

Red Watch: My message is - Keep Scott Carson

ONE of the more common pieces of Liverpool trivia that used to be bandied about by those sad people obsessed with such things (ie me) was that Liverpool’s telegraphic address was ‘Goalkeeper’. Read
