Will try to put this up most weeks

Independent - scathing of Stokes play, very harsh if you ask me - particularly the line about any of Stokes outfield players could play for any team in Staffordshire...

A few giving us credit for better football at times - I thought Liverpool played really well too and it was a good game

There's always a scouse love- in at the beginning of the season, when their old supporters in the media etc. hope for a return to former glories. After a couple of weeks reality will set in, and that tactical genius Rodgers will f*ck it up as usual. Their only hope of making the top four is if Wenger carries on as he is and doesn't buy anyone.

[Robo10]

Yep, lots of scousers love in the press, they also seem to love the media friendly Brendan Rogers too

I see the tone towards Suarez has changed also

Liverpool were very impressive going forward. They will challenge for top 6 if they can integrate Suarez into what they had yesterday. Defensively they are a shambles. Can't defend set pieces and without some better defenders they won't make top 4. Why don't they buy Shawcross!? Or Arsenal for that matter. If Arsenal brought in Nzonzi, Shawcross and Bego then all they'd need is a quality striker (why they didn't buy Benteke I'll never know) and they'd be title challengers.

Scousers ?

Read the comments on the press pages - hardly a single one from someone actually from Liverpool !

He is say the press love the scousers mate

[MuddyWoody]

To read some of those articles you could be forgiven for thinking there was literally only one team on the pitch. But of course the media are unbiased, aren't they.

And I'm saying read the comments and see how few of their 'fans' actually come from liverpool
