Liverpool - the finest supporters on earth, or just wankers?

Craig Bellamy comes across as the most irascible of individuals, but the Welshman clearly feeds off his role as the anti-hero of a Premiership which loves to hate its feistier characters. Whether goading Newcastle's giant central defender, Oguchi Onyewu, catching United's goalkeeper, Steve Harper, with a late tackle, or cheekily wiping his greasy palms on the bald head of the Magpies' long-serving physiotherapist, Derek Wright, there was no escaping the impact of the former enfant terrible of St James' Park upon a game of unrelenting action. Bellamy opened the scoring against his former club within six minutes and yet, from that moment on, confidence visibly drained from the focal point of Liverpool's attack. By the time the referee, Mark Halsey, signalled the end of a thrilling first half, Bellamy had wasted the opportunity to register a rare hat-trick and finish the match as a contest. After the break his afternoon got worse. "I didn't think the occasion affected him, he was trying to do his best and mentally he was fine," said the Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez. The forward Dirk Kuyt said: "Craig was a little upset. He was desperate to win the match. The only thing he wanted to do was beat Newcastle and we didn't do that." Bellamy, although he would bitterly dispute the assertion, had indeed let the occasion, as well as a formidable opponent, get to him. On the day when the Reds entered a new era under the ownership of George Gillett Jnr and Tom Hicks, it was another American who was central to the former Newcastle favourite's demise. Onyewu, the US international who is on loan from Standard Liège, offered a fascinating insight into the Bellamy psyche following a faultless home debut. "My size and strength are big assets and I don't think he liked that too much, being half my height," said the 24-year-old. "He never shuts up. When you come across players like him you just have to laugh at them and smile and that's what I did. There was a moment when he was complaining that I elbowed him in the head, but I responded by saying, 'Look at where your head is. I can't help it if you're so short you only come up to where my elbow is'. "My team-mates warned me that he was a very fast and skilful player and if you let him get in your head he'll affect you and your performance. I did my best to not let that happen." Until Saturday a Benitez-managed Liverpool side had not lost a League game after taking the lead, but Newcastle recovered from an abysmal first half to dominate after the break. The forward Obafemi Martins capitalised on a Jose Reina error to equalise after 26 minutes and the midfielder Nolberto Solano scored from the penalty spot 20 minutes from time, after John Arne Riise had tripped the advancing Newcastle defender Steven Taylor. "There are reasons we lost that game, but I cannot go into them now," said Benitez, prior to the club's week-long training camp in Portugal. Bellamy was undoubtedly one of them.

EH? Had to be there. Basically out of all the folk in the room Cath said first of all that for some reason I could be gay. Then made accusations with regards to saying I have a hairy back! Also apparently comparisons were made with me and Mancy. And Jimmy White Cath's one to talk man the hair on her back is tremendous! Must be gay, when the rest of us go to piss ups we spend our time looking at Cats front... -

Did you enjoy it? My son has only been there just over a month, but has already gone down 2 trouser sizes He says he feels fitter and fitter everyday! Aye I did for a while. Was meant to be a stop gap job but it ended up that easy and at first finishing at lunchtime everyday was great. However after a few years of doing the same repetitive thing day after day I began to get bored of it and needed something more challenging so went back into education. At times I miss it, however with the weather just now I certainly do not. I was lucky as well living in a small town near Loch Lomond I generally dealt with alot of people I knew and was lucky enough not to have "neds chasing their Giros". Being out in the sticks we also had bikes...

I have said for a long time I dont rate him at all. I still think he is all pace and no end product and last night showed that IMO. If SWP had the same run in the team as Milner as had (Club level) I dont think he would have done as well as Milner has. Neville can fuck off too, moaning about the booing, pull your fucking finger out the you fanny tashed wanker! Neville is about the best player England have at the moment tbh. Good player, but wouldn't say he was your best player.
