Things are sorta looking up I suppose. But then again nothing is ever certain. Perhaps a little bit of ambivalence and unpredictability would be good at this point. I don't really want to bog myself down during this crucial period. It's just prelims, some (selfish) teachers might say (GUARDING THEIR OWN SUBJECT and telling us to forget about others), but to me, I can't afford to say, "just prelims". I need this time to catch up on all the crap that I've missed out.

Sigh. Owen to Newcastle. Hopefully when he starts scoring the goals for them, (Newcastle have yet to score in what - four games?) he can silence his critics. Despite him betraying the Anfield faithful, I must say that I still would welcome him back. In fact, I'm pretty sure that he'd like to come back too, but it was all about the whole money issue. I read on the soccernet forum that we only offered $8m (Owen's selling price) while Newcastle offered $15m. Personally, if Benitez was willing to offer $7m for PETER CROUCH who will be sidelined for half the bloody season, I don't see why he wasn't willing to pour out more for Owen. Plus, there's talk about Cisse going to Monaco on loan. What the? They can't score from open play and they wanna move their strikers out. What bullshit.

I guess after reviewing the performance of old Koppites like Heskey, Murphy and Baros over the weekend, I must grudgingly come to the conclusion that Anfield HAS to be jinxed. Why do these players have success in other clubs but not with us? Baros scored within TEN MINUTES of wearing the colours of Aston Villa, but with us, he couldn't score even if you put a gun to his head. Heskey scored two headers for Birmingham, whereas when he was at Liverpool, all he did was to look like he was gonna fall down while running. Murphy - I've missed him :(

I hope they'll be boosted by the Super Cup win. It's a relatively insignificant trophy, but I suppose they can take it as a good learning experience.

SIGH, OWEN THE MAGPIE :((((((((
