This is it, folks. My first football-related fan post. Liverpool striker Milan Baroš is in talks with German club Schalke, despite his desire to stay with Liverpool. I’ve grown to like the happy-looking Czech, especially after two impressive goals in Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Olympiacos in Liechtenstein last weekend (a game I saw only through the magic of BitTorrent). But Liverpool now has four strikers, with the recent acquisition of storky Peter Crouch, and that’s probably one too many.
So, Liverpool is one of my Premiership favourites, mostly due to their perennial underachievment (notwithstanding their fantastic come from behind victory over AC Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul a few months ago). My other favourites for this season will be Manchester City (shadow-dwellers) and recently promoted Sunderland (giant-killers?).
Welcome to the world of the Reds! Have you checked out the Toronto Branch of the Liverpool Supporters Club? It mostly looks like a bunch of old guys drinking beer and watching football on TV – we’d fit in perfectly!
