Good luck Yank :o :

Hicks set to brave Anfield crowd

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks will be at Anfield for the club's Champions League semi-final, first-leg against Chelsea, despite fears of a hostile reception.

American Hicks is unpopular among Reds fans as a boardroom battle with co-owner George Gillett rages on.

Gillett will not be at the game but it is believed his son Foster will be there hosting DIC representatives.

DIC lost the race to buy the club last year but Gillett is reportedly keen to sell his stake to the group.

Hicks is expected to be in the directors' box along with chief executive Rick Parry, who he has asked to resign, as well as Gillett's son and prospective DIC guests.

A statement from Merseyside Police read: "We can confirm that advice has been given to Liverpool Football club regarding the attendance of the club's owners.

"However, we are not in a position to discuss any individual's safety. As with any other football event, the safety of those attending has been reviewed.

"Merseyside Police has deployed the appropriate number of police officers alongside stewards to tonight's match."

Gillett and Hicks are in the middle of a bitter power struggle.

The American duo took control of Liverpool in a deal worth £218.9m in February 2007 but the relationship between the two men broke down some time ago, with the pair no longer on speaking terms.

Their falling-out has led to a war of words breaking out in the Anfield boardroom and in a television interview last week, Hicks defiantly outlined his own plans for the future of the club as well again calling for Parry's resignation and claiming the chief executive's tenure was a "disaster".

Gillett, an ally of Parry, responded by saying he would not sell his stake to Hicks and by inviting DIC to the first leg of the European showdown with Chelsea, he has made a clear statement of intent.

DIC has been trying to buy the club for 18 months, having been beaten by Hicks and Gillett just over a year ago.

The investment group seemed to have tied up a deal at the turn of the year, only for Hicks to send a representative to Dubai for talks before pulling the plug on the possible sale.

It is believed that DIC's chief negotiator Amanda Staveley will be among Gillett's party, along with chief executive Samir Al-Ansari.

BBC Radio 5 Live correspondent Juliette Ferrington is at Anfield and said: "Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks is expected to arrive at Anfield a few hours before kick-off with a police escort due to the ill-feelings towards him amongst the Liverpool fan base.

"Merseyside Police had expressed concern at his presence here tonight but Hicks will be taking his seat on the front row of the directors' box - he is already in the city. Representatives of DIC are also here tonight."

For his part, Benitez has been keen to divert attention away from the row and hopes his players will not be distracted ahead of the vital semi-final with Chelsea. "The players are focused on football because we know it is really important now," he stated. "You cannot think and talk about other things because it is better that you do not say anything."

News from the terraces is that Riise has recently been fitted with new contact lenses which had dropped out. He was looking for them when the ball bounced off his head. This of course goes some way to explaining his wayward form this season. :o

Anyway - all's not lost.

In some respects I actually prefer this scoreline against 1-0. Now we know we have to win at their end. I find this preferable to arriving with a "smug" 1 goal advantage and setting up a defensive formation which undoubtedly Rafa would have adopted with it potentially back-firing on us.

We outplayed them in both halves once we'd steadied (Did Reina have a save to make? ) and were dam_n unlucky with both Gerrards thunderbolt and Torres mystically loosing his footing on two occasions.

We will do it at their end.

Well here we go - all or nothing time again.

Rafa's doing a good job alerting the ref to Drogba's diving - hope the guy can read English!

It's sure going to be a nail biting night.

Good luck Liverpool - YOU WON'T BE WALKING ALONE.

Yeah Drogba is one of the worst for diving, he's up there with all the very best. Possibly he's the worst considering the size of him, watching the game on Saturday when he whacked Vidic in the chops (accidental), Drogba was about to swan dive and clutch his face, until he had a quick look to see what was happening, realised and then stayed on his feet.

Hopefully Pool will get the result they need, as I really want a Man Utd v Liverpool final.

Why did Benitez take Gerrard off straight after Liverpool went 2-1 up ?? :o

What game was that?

Every one Loves a smart Arse... :D

Hetre's Rafa's view from the BBC anyway..

It's fair enough & understandable..

The Spaniard also explained his decision to withdraw star striker Torres straight after Chelsea's second goal, saying: "He had a problem with his hamstring. "I was talking before with him, he told me he was not 100% so we needed to change him."

You referred to Gerrard being taken off after LFC went 2-1 up! Gerrard never went off and we never went 2-1 up! That's why I asked which game you were referring to. Maybe if the next time you get your facts right you'll avoid "smart arse" responses.

Have a nice day!

Liverpool were yesterday given the green light to progress with construction of a new 60,000-seat stadium in Stanley Park.

The redesigned plans were accepted by Liverpool City Council, who had asked that minor changes to the £350?million project be made, including a smaller car park beneath the stadium and a reduced total height. Liverpool have now won permission to build on the new site three times. Tom Hicks and George Gillett, the warring owners who took over the club last year, immediately instigated a redesign after being unimpressed by the original blueprints.

It was redrawn for a second time by Dallas-based architects HKS earlier this year after it was deemed too expensive. The only potential obstacle now would be a public inquiry, which is understood to be unlikely.

About time as well I think.

All we need know is new owners!

Aston Villa chairman Randy Lerner will meet Gareth Barry in an attempt to persuade the England midfielder not to join Liverpool.

"I can't understand why Gareth would want to leave. He's only 27 and has been brilliant for us.

"He has been selected for England and has played regularly for them because of his exploits with Villa.

"In terms of him playing in the Champions League, we can guarantee him that within the next 23 years!"

Would that make him the oldest ever to play in the CL! :o

No wonder he wants to leave!
