I had to get this one going right away, only a week until the new season.

[faithfully]

I see we drew our first home game of the season

[Paul]

First half we were amazing, Downing was like Maradona. I saw us play Valencia too we were good.

[faithfully]

I just found out today that Fabregas plays for Barca now

[Paul]

Yes and Nasri off to Man City soon. Arsenal are looking a bit crappy.

[faithfully]

Hope we start to play good real soon.

[ktsthegame]

Well even Sports Illustrated over here in States has Arsenal are there thumbs down list this week. and Liverpool plays them Saturday so hopefully you guys can take advantage.

[faithfully]

We got Arsenal, this will be a real test

[Paul]

Cant wait for it, they are looking beatable too.

[faithfully]

Yeah we won and my dad said we didn't deserve to

[Paul]

Ha we did deserve it, we had the most possesion, unheard of against Arsenal away...

[faithfully]

Yeah 11 years since we last won there.

[Paul]

Kyrgiakos is gone.

[faithfully]

Kyrgiakos is gone.

He was okay in doing a back up job. We still need a top centre-half

[Paul]

I liked him in a way lol. Not bad for £1.5m...I guess he wanted to play every week though and Liverpool's policy now is youth. He was great at heading, we need a defender who is dominant in the air. I bet it means a big signing is coming though.

[faithfully]

Talk of Meireles leaving as well now

[Paul]

I hope not.

[faithfully]

We still need another striker methinks I see Tottenham got hammered last night

[Paul]

Lots of crazy stories at the moment, even Dirk Kuyt to Inter. He is 31 though so maybe Liverpool would be tempted and then spend that money on a younger player. I hope not though.

[faithfully]

What do you Inter want with him ?

[Paul]

Meet the next Liverpool centre back - 20 years old, 6ft 6, young player of the tournament in this summers Copa America. This is a beast.

If he has signed he is the new Sami

[Paul]

Lots more things going on about this today, his Dad is in Liverpool negotiating. It looks like we will pay less than £10m for someone better than all the defenders being bought for silly money like Jones at Man U. Imagine this guy at corners too. I cant believe other clubs arent after him...

[faithfully]

We will just have to wait for the news to come through

[faithfully]

No Scottish teams in Europe now
