That video is hilarious! It literally got me laughing out loud!

Good interview. It's really great to see Robbie back at the Bridge, and with AVB and Robbie working together, we have a really exciting young management team.

Andy Carroll has scored how many for Liverpool? How many minutes has he played? £35 million for an injured player who is still weeks away from making a return. Then when he does he'll have to play himself back in to match fitness. You never now, he might just make it in time for the close season break. Wow that's some deal. And Torres will be playing for Chelsea in the Champions League. Which is just one more thing Andy Carroll won't be doing for Liverpool.

According to this morning's papers Liverpool have slapped a £100 million price tag on Torres. If this is true, and I emphasise if, then this is surely the end of any possible deal. It's difficult to imagine even Real Madrid shelling out that kind of money for him.

World class striker he may be, but let him go to Manchester City or Real Madrid if they're willing to pay that much for him. That kind of money can be better used on two or three or more players to strengthen and rejuvenate the squad than frittered away on the single purchase of someone as sulky and injury prone as Torres.

So far today: Serge Gainsbourg's BO Cannibis album King of The Sax by King Curtis. and Tea & Sympathy - a UK folk compilation put together by Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne.

Undoubtedly. From what I've seen of Ribery this season, he'd struggle to get on to the Chelsea bench.

Lots and lots of Rickie Lee Jones, including "The Magazine" album which includes the absolutely gorgeous "It Must Be Love". Sadly, criminally even, I've been unable to find this song on youtube. Ah well, here's the title song: More Rickie Lee, "Chuck E's In Love" live at the BBC: Rickie Lee "Makin' Whoopee" lve with Doctor John:

IRM by Charlotte Gainsbourg. I adored 5:55 but am not too sure about this one yet. I'll give it a little more time however, because I've got a feeling it'll be a grower. She & Him - Volume 1 She being the gorgeous Zooey Deschanel, him folk singer M. Ward. It's something of a '60s throwback but none the worse for that. I really do like this album.. While I'm on the subject of actresses turned singers, Julie Delpy, who is surely one of the most beautiful women in the world, released a wonderfully sexy, sultry CD a few years back. This is a very, very nice album, give it a listen if you get the chance.

Sadly you were proved all too right. I'm equally worried, possibly even more so, about the remainder of the season.

I agree, I don't see why he'd want to sign up for a place on the bench. But how about as a possible replacement for Petr Cech? Cech is a long way from his best, his positioning at free kicks has at times been questionable, as is his decision making, and so is not exactly designed to instil confidence into our defence.

It's as plain as the nose on my face that we desperately need to sign at least two or three players, especially when there is a strong possibility that the transfer ban will be enforced,. However, when Ancelotti states we won't be signing anyone, my hope is that he's being true to form.. Remember this? That was last season, in February of this year. Look around, you'll find even more recent denials.
