Wiiiiiiiiiiiiii. KING KENNY.

Good news for you for sure ..

This from the Telegraph made me smile, and says a lot about the benefit of having him in place
"Dalglish, though, has enjoyed such success that all debate has been rendered irrelevant. Even Liverpool’s fans have proved as much: since Dalglish took charge, their volume has increased by 40 per cent to 97 decibels, according to the site fanchants.com. "

Good news about Dalglish. The only criticism of Kenny for me is the hair. Even just a little bit of gel or wax would liven things up a bit. Maybe he could borrow some hair oil form Dirk Kuyt who seemingly oils each individual lock into perfect ringlets. Sort the barnet Ken!

Complete revamp imo!

Downing, really?  Would he actually add to the side?

No he wouldn't..neither would Ashley Young IMO.

As many pundits denounced Manchester United’s pedestrian march to their 19th title, Kopites of a certain age knew better, writes Brian Reade in the Daily Mirror.

 "They're just doing enough...getting the rub of the green...jammy late goals...not a patch on some of the previous teams...going to get found out before the end..."

Liverpudlians had heard those same words many times in the 1970s and 1980s, before seeing their side put on a sprint at the end which left their rivals dead and left them to focus on another European Cup Final.

The truth is, even though seeing United poised to take their record of English league titles hurts Liverpool fans like hell, they've anticipated it for some time, and were tiring of praying for miracles from Chelsea or Arsenal to help them maintain their historical supremacy.

Many veterans of those Seventies and Eighties campaigns even have a begrudging respect for their detested rivals' achievement.

Because they know what it takes to prove yourself the best in the land year after year: an extraordinary manager in charge of exceptional players who possess an insatiable appetite to win.

That was Liverpool when they took 11 titles in 17 years, and that has been United since Alex Ferguson won the first of his 11 titles (surely about to be 12), 18 years ago.

Yet although Kopites are resigned to United going ahead of them in title wins for the first time in history (they caught up on two, five, six, seven and 18 but have never won more) there is no mass depression suffocating Anfield.

There is no need, as you might have expected, for Samaritans to set up extra helplines on Merseyside.

In fact, it's doubtful there could have been a better time for Liverpool to be knocked off their perch.

Because there is a genuine belief that with decent owners, new players, a blossoming youth set-up, a new or revamped ground and Kenny Dalglish back in charge of playing football the right way, the good times are about to return.

The mauling of Fulham on Monday, or rather the manner of it, and the smiles in evidence all over the pitch, in the dugout and in the away end, suggest a togetherness and confidence not seen at Anfield for years.

The transformation since Dalglish's return has been nothing short of staggering.

No-one is getting carried away. There have been too many false dawns for that. The club is still a way behind United and only the wildest optimist believes it will be 19-19 in a year's time.

The shift is more subtle than that. It's in the psyche.

Suddenly, Liverpool aren't looking back to the old glory days but forward to new ones. Having the weight of history removed from the players' shoulders may just bring those days closer.

United are on the perch now. Time will tell if Liverpool get to knock them off it, but the motivation is now there.

They're not relying on outsiders to do them favours to stop United going past them domestically, because they've gone past.

All that matters now is focusing on lifting themselves up to their rivals' marker, the way Ferguson has done for two decades.

The past belonged to Liverpool, the present to United.

But the future is up for grabs.

Assuming Liverpool make the top 4 next season (still a big assumption imho) which of the current top 4 is most likely to drop out of it?

Arsenal imo unless he spends big

Arsenal and Chelski unless Chelsea keep, and start playing, Drogba and bring some new blood in.

Harry Redknapp has no regrets over his failure to sign Uruguay striker Luis Suarez.

Suarez will line up for Liverpool against Tottenham at Anfield in Sunday's shoot-out for fifth place in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old was on Redknapp's radar as the Spurs boss searched for a partner for Rafael van der Vaart, only to sign for Kenny Dalglish's team for £22.8million in January.

Adapting swiftly to the Premier league, Suarez has fired four goals in 11 appearances and Redknapp has been impressed with his progress.

"Suarez has done very well. We looked at him and kept looking at him. We talked about signing him," he said.

"People felt he couldn't play as a striker and I had Rafa.

"People said you can't play him and Rafa, you'd have two players who want to drop deep, so that was the problem.

"But he played up front on his own the other night at Fulham and was fantastic. He looks a top player.

"There's no regret that we didn't go in for him, that's how it goes. You can't sign everybody.

"We had Rafa and if anything we were looking for someone to play up front with Rafa.

Just seen Liverpool are 7/1 to make the top 4 and a champions league place next year. For anyone struggling with the maths if you bet £10 on this then you stand to lose £10
