Red Watch: Referee wasn’t reason Liverpool won the derby

IT would appear that there’s more chance of dust settling in the Kalahari Desert than over the Merseyside derby last weekend. Read

Still nothing quite like the derby

RED WATCH: Still nothing quite like the derby

JUST how important is the derby game? Read

Red Watch: Pros and cons of taking a break

I’LL never criticise international breaks again. Whereas we were all bemoaning the unfortunate timing of the last one, as our players were scattered to the four corners of the globe during an exceptional run of form, now we’re glad of a chance to break the recent depressing string of performances and wonder if we’re that bothered if some of them don’t come back.

RED WATCH: It's Rafa's head, not his squad, in a spin

IF Montse Benitez has any sense, she’ll have purged the household of rotisseries, microwave ovens and electric toothbrushes in recent weeks to provide a calmer environment for her workaholic husband. Read

Red Watch: Why the Carling Cup is so special to Liverpool

OVER the years, we’ve much to thank the League Cup for, dressed up in its numerous guises as a bottle of milk, fizzy American drinks, football gambling games and alcoholic drinks of varying quality. Read

Jermaine Pennant in action

Keeping calm key to Liverpool's title bid

WELL, at least no-one can accuse Rafa of favouring the Champions’ League over the Premiership now. Read

England get my support, but I’m not a fanatic

ARE you an ‘England Fan’? Assuming that you don’t owe your allegiance to another country through birth, parentage or just because you like the colour of their kit, will you be watching tonight’s match from behind the sofa wearing the latest England away shirt? Read

Rafael Benitez, Liverpool FC Manager

Welcome back that giddy feeling

GO ON. It’s all right. No-one’s watching. Just pull it out of your pocket, sneak a quick look and then put it back. You can get it out again in an hour or so, and no-one will think worse of you. Read

Sami Hyypia celebrates for Liverpool FC

The back-seat drivers finally take the wheel

GERRARD? Carragher? Who needs them? Okay, okay, I’m not seriously suggesting that we jettison our two talismanic players just because we’ve won one-and-a-half games without them, especially since the opposition has not exactly been top drawer. Read

Jamie Carragher argues with referee Rob Styles at the end of the game for Chelsea's penalty decision - Picture: Colin Lane

Hard to feel sorry for Styles

READERS of a certain age will remember the Phantom Zone, an other-dimension prison used on Krypton, the home planet of Superman. Read

Liverpool FC's Steven Gerrard

'Expansive' style is way forward

IT appears everybody's doing it. Chelsea and Birmingham did it on Sunday; Manchester United always do it. Apparently Liverpool are trying it. Read

Liverpool FC manager Rafael Benitez

How to win a Premier League title

RIGHT, heads up Rafa – here it is, the Red Watch Guide to Winning the Premiership (or at least mounting a credible challenge). Or, the nine things you must do to improve on last season. Read

Ian Rush celebrates after scoring for Liverpool FC

It all sounds too good to be true

I WISH I wasn’t such a killjoy. If there is light at the end of the tunnel I always get the urge to extinguish it. Read

Fernando Torres, made his club debut against Werder Bremen in Grenchen, Switzerland, - Picture: MARTIN BIRCHALL

Will Torres be ‘The One’?

MONEY can’t buy you love. It can’t even buy a quality striker nowadays. Read

New Liverpool owners George Gillett (left) and Tom Hicks at Anfield

Brand Liverpool key to the future

WITH new players of all ages and origins arriving by the bucketload, and new coaching staff in at Melwood and the Academy every time they open the doors, it may seem somewhat perverse to suggest that the most significant arrival at Anfield this summer may well be a backroom boy. Read

Jamie Carragher, of Liverpool FC, celebrates

Carragher right to answer back

AS IF Jamie Carragher wasn’t already a Kop legend, his ten-minute broadcast phone call to castigate Arian Durham for calling him a ‘bottler’ on talkSPORT will surely cement his place in the Anfield Hall of Fame. Read

Where have the Scousers gone?

WHEN Rafael Benitez launched into his post-match tirade in Athens about the need to step up to the mark with regard to the courting and signing of top-quality players, he also made several, less well-reported comments about needing to restructure the club from top to bottom. Read

Sad side of Torres deal

THE protracted, but nevertheless welcome arrival of Fernando Torres is tinged with sadness at the reciprocal departure of Luis Garcia. Read

Parry and Hicks causing concern

THE summer transfer rumour mill trundles on unabated, as we patiently wait for news of top-quality arrivals who will transform us into Premiership Champions. Read

Carragher can't be ignored again

THE ball-playing centre-half: must or myth? I pose this question as part of my search for the answer to one of mankind’s great mysteries: Why isn’t Jamie Carragher a fixture in the England team? Read
