Haven't been in the mood to write anything within the last few months, but I just have to make an exception on this one. Not going to say much, just watch this clip: To score a hattrick is by no means an easy feat, no matter who the oppositions are (well, Fiji doesn't count). To score 4 goals in a match is extra special. To score 4 goals in a match without a tap in is almost unheard of. To

It was meant to be a new beginning for LFC. For the first time in a while, we managed to compete financially with the big guns. Excitement could barely be contained when all four of our big signings decorated the First XI against Sunderland. On paper, it looked as if we were going to win this match quite comfortably. The first 45 minutes was a preview of the future. Luis Suarez, even after

1. New DesignI'm a minimalist type of guy. I don’t like buttons when it comes to cellphones, well, to anything really. So when Apple introduced the first iPhone, I was completely blown away by its sheer simplicity. One HOME button and that’s about it. The new iPhone 4 offers a completely new design that takes away its curvy edges with a bolder, boxy design. It’s 22% thinner than the previous

It happened again. I finally decided to watch a movie against my own will. I mean, the day I watched Transformers 2 was the day I submitted myself to Rotten Tomatoes’ rating. The more movies I watch, the more I realize that I actually love watching them for their depth and substance, not entertainment. Indeed, depth and substance are the main aspects to RT’s rating. The critics at RT are a bunch

Ok, so we want to build on last year's second finish. We have our first XI pretty much set, we have made two notable changes that would only enhance our team even further. Seems we are set for the long-awaited 19th English League title...until we turn our attention to the sidelines and realize something: our bench would make Hull City proud of theirs. No, this is not an excuse toward our

I don’t have much to say about the movie really. I managed to stay away from RottenTomatoes for the sake of neutrality, a seemingly-neat idea which later proved to be pointless. In contrast to my usual rants and ramblings, I think I have found a way to sum up my thoughts in a few sentences instead. You see, Transformers 2 has given me a new barometer of suckiness (that’s not even a word!).

We won't be seeing those long, searching passes delivered with such speed and accuracy.We will sorely miss your half-way line attemps, where you have also managed to score a few.We will not be able to mock Michael Carrick as 'the poor man's Alonso' anymore.Without you, other teams wouldn't end up with 10-men.You'll be wearing a different color soon, but to us, you're still a Red.There's only one,

For Liverpool, the arrival of Xabi Alonso from Real Sociedad coincided with the team's return to their famous passing game. Gerrard Houllier's regime was a nightmare for fans as Liverpool were never known for their direct, long ball tactics. There's still a directness in Xabi's style of play, but his ability to spring 50-yard passes with speed and pinpoint accuracy makes long ball actually fun to

The movie seems to have it all: great casts, solid director, and a fascinating true story. Johnny Depp as a gangster, you wouldn't want to miss it for Sour Sally.Having seen the movie, it didn't disappoint. The acting was expected. Johnny Depp shows why he's one of the most versatile actors around, Christian Bale lives for this kind of movie, and Marion Cottilard shows that she's comfortable

Reports have surfaced that Manchester United is chasing Gabriel Obertan, a highly-rated French teenager from Bordeaux. Theiry Henry in the making? No, more like David N'gog in the making. It wasn't a sentimental joke or any kind, as The Guardian wrote:L'Equipe compared Obertan to Liverpool's French forward [David] Ngog and added that the fee has not been disclosed but an agreement between United

Better late than never! :)If I had one word to sum up the 2008/2009 season, it would be: Mystifying...We were not up to the standard on the first half of the season, took us about a month after Robbie Keane's sale to finally settle with our trusted formation (lone forward, 2 holding midfielders). Unfortunately we were a bit too late to get away with the EPL crown (not to say that Man Utd clearly

OK. I finally decided to watch TR2. I know, I said I wouldn't, but I was so intrigued by (mostly) favorable comments on my Facebook. To be relatively unbiased, I had set a somewhat low expectation before I even entered the cinema. I also made a promise to keep myself sensible at all times, not allowing my premeditated judgement get the better of me.On a sidenote, the cinema was awesome. Thanks to

In recent times I've been thinking about how I have changed as a person.I used to believe that people don't really change, well, at least I've always tried not to change much.Yet sometimes the change itself is so gradual that you won't even notice it until you encounter something familiar that contradicts your own philosophy.Yesteday was the premiere of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, many

Carlos Tevez. Definitely a world-class player being underused at Man Utd. It's a shame really, watching Berbatov walking around the pitch doing nothing, while Tevez is warming the bench anxiously waiting for his manager's call. Just a slight thought of having him at Liverpool would excite most Liverpool fans, no doubt. Imagine, Torres and Tevez with Gerrard behind them. Full of energy, pace, and

As Liverpool prepare themselves toward the new season, we can see a glimpse of the future in the likes of Insua, Pacheco and Plessis. I'm as passionate as ever, always thinking that this is our year to win the EPL. For every future, there's a bright -and not so bright- past. That's why I want to dedicate my next few columns to some of the unforgettable memories that I've had since I first became

One of my many wishes this summer is for Liverpool to offload John-Arne Riise. He's had some great years at Anfield. Who can forget his rocket against Man Utd? He has been our steady presence on the left, either as a winger or a full-back. Many have questioned his defensive capabilities, but he showed a notable improvement under Rafa Benitez. Football is cruel at times, as one dissappointing

Just read our fresh link with David Bentley again, which is good to see after the Gareth Barry saga. I just couldn't believe Aston Villa put a 20 million price tag on the player. He's a good player and their captain alright, and they know Liverpool want him badly. Still, I think that 20 million for Gareth Barry is way too steep. That means he's almost twice as good as Xabi Alonso, whom Liverpool

Let's just get to the point here:- Chelsea spent 16.5 millions for Jose Bosingwa, a right back. We spent 0 (read: nothing, free) for Philip Degen, a right back. 16.5 million disparity there, one of undoubted quality and one of a more questionable talent. I have not given up on free transfers although the transformation of Voronin from being a decent player at Leverkusen to a total disaster at our

Sebuah artikel yang saya baca di salah satu media terkemuka di Indonesia memiliki judul: "Orang Indonesia" Cetak Gol Ketiga Belanda. Saya hanya berdesah dan berkata didalam hati, 'Begini lagi, begini lagi.' Saya tidak memungkiri fakta bahwa Giovani van Bronckhorst adalah keturunan Maluku asli.

I thought I wouldn't be watching the game at all. I was wrong, kind of. I mean, ESPN was showing useless sportshows and there was nothing good on Food Network. So I HAD to switch to the dreaded ESPN2 during my lunchtime. (Un)Luckily for me, I saw both goals during a somewhat dry first half. It was a pain for me watching the likes of Wes Brown and Malouda on the pitch. I wonder how on earth

So, I had been forced to skip my training regime due to illness. Now I'm feeling good again, ready to go on with my workout!Liverpool reserves have been crowned National Champions, there's hope for the future I suppose. Too bad I've never seen them for the full 90 minutes, so I can't really assess player by player in a thorough manner. As far as I can see, Nemeth and Insua are the real deal.

Missed the morning session. I woke up @ 10.30AM after a tiring night playing bball with friends. I decided to push myself a little on my 2nd session. I think I finished my 2-mile running faster than before. It was tiring though, my legs & thighs are still hurting. In fact, I feel sore all over my body. I've been doing light weight lifting, hopefully I'll be able to do my pushups soon.I'm having

I think we are even now. Garcia's 'ghost' goal, Liverpool were meant to be in the Champs League final that year. Riise's 94th minute howler gave Chelsea an undeserved draw, this time Chelsea are meant to be in the Champs League final. I just hope they would win it all.Our lack of depth was clearly exposed yesterday. The likes of Anelka and Malouda proved to be decisive in the end. Although I

Missed the 2nd session. I overslept, damn it! I have to put extra effort tomorrow to make amends. I did more weight training than usual during my 1st session. My forearms are sore now, hopefully I still can lift some tomorrow.I was just on time to watch Man Utd - Barcelona game. Barcelone didn't deserve anything from the match. They were simply awful on the final third of the pitch. 62%

So I did it. Kind of. I did my 2 sessions, with a few glitches along the way. First off, I'm terribly rusty. Maybe just an excuse for not getting all out, maybe not. One mile morning workout was not so bad, although I have to admit that I was almost out of breath at the end. Lame.Now, this is definitely NOT an excuse. My aim to run 3 miles on my second session didn't go as planned. Not even close

My first official blog, yet I'm not gonna be talking about Liverpool. Not at this moment at least. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to start my 30-day weight loss regime that consists of cardio (lots of it), push-ups, light weight training, and diet (don't like this bit at all!). Two sessions each day, including weekends.Here's the plan:- Morning session: Warm-ups
