OMG Newcastle fans trying to play the racist card now....

With eyes on John Terry's court case for a racist comment made to Anton Ferdinand ... where do you draw the line?

If calling a player "black" is out of order, should Craig Bellamy face a charge for calling Tim Krul a "Dutch c***!"

The former Newcastle striker lost the plot when Fabricio Coloccini give him a clip on the head and he suffered a cut.

He walked to the Dutch goalkeeper and the scene is shown clearly on You-Tube.

Is that acceptable?

Wilson heads to Blackpool on loan

Liverpool defender Danny Wilson has today joined Championship side Blackpool on loan.

The 20 year old, who signed for the Reds from Glasgow Rangers in July 2010, has signed a youth loan, which will keep him at Bloomfield Road until the end of the season.

Wilson becomes the second Liverpool player to make a temporary move to Blackpool this season following on from Jonjo Shelvey's successful period there earlier in the campaign.

Gary Cahill to choose Liverpool over Chelsea...We'll See

Liverpool are trying to gazump Chelsea’s move for Gary Cahill.

The highly-rated Bolton and England defender, 26, had been expected to join the Blues after a £7milllion transfer fee was agreed this week.

But the bid was threatened by a disagreement over personal terms and Kenny Dalglish is poised to swoop.

Cahill, who is out of contract this summer, is understood to prefer staying in the north.

Kop boss Dalglish is a big admirer of the centre-back who would compete for a place with the injury-prone Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel and Jamie Carragher at Anfield.

It was believed that Chelsea had already wrapped up the race for Cahill’s signature.

Bolton chief Owen Coyle said yesterday: “There has been a fee agreed between the clubs and we have now given Gary’s representatives­ permission to speak to Chelsea.”

But Stamford Bridge manager Andre Villas-Boas later revealed that talks with Cahill had hit a snag, before appearing to suggest he was looking at alternatives.

Villas Boas said: “We’re still miles apart regarding agreement with the player. We’ll continue to monitor this situation, as we continue to monitor others.

“I think his technical attributes are immense and his pace is fantastic as well.

“He is a player that at international­ level has been playing well. He can add to this squad, or any squad in the Premier League.”

Cahill joined Bolton for £5m from Aston Villa in January 2008.

He made his first England start in the 1-1 friendly draw with Ghana, at Wembley, in March, and got his first Three Lions goal in September’s­ 3-0 Euro 2012 qualifying victory in Bulgaria.

Expect more FA bullshit no action any time soon....Cabaye to get of scott free?

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is confident Yohan Cabaye will not face retrospective punishment from the Football Association for his horror tackle against Liverpool.

The Frenchman avoided any action from referee Lee Probert in the 3-1 defeat at Anfield on Friday night despite leaving Jay Spearingin a heap with a studs-up challenge.

An FA disciplinary panel could decide to act upon the incident, but Pardew is confident Cabaye, a summer signing from Lille, did not aim to hurt his opponent.

"There was no malice in the tackle. I don't think the FA will look at it," said the Newcastle boss in The Times.

The incident sparked an angry, on-field reaction from Liverpool's players, but boss Kenny Dalglishclaims to have missed the tackle.

"I didn't see it," claimed Kenny Dalglish. "If it was a bad one, I'm sure the governing body will take appropriate action."

Gerrard warns City - "We have no Fear"

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has warned Manchester City that his side head to the Etihad Stadium in the New Year without fear.

Gerrard, 31, came off the bench on Friday to help Liverpool to a much-needed home victory as they saw off Newcastle United 3-1 at Anfield to lift them to fifth in the table.

The Reds are next in action on January 3 when they travel to City, who are in action on New Year's eve against Sunderland before their meeting with Liverpool.

And Gerrard is relishing the meeting, having seen his team earn a 1-1 draw with Roberto Mancini's men on Merseyside in November, the Reds denied victory late on following a fine save from goalkeeper Joe Hart.

"They are a fantastic team who have started the season really well but we've got nothing to fear," Gerrard told liverpoolfc.tv.

"We showed against them here a couple of weeks ago that we more than matched them. These are exciting games, and these are the games as a player you want to play in. I can't wait.

"We've been very strong on the road. It's at home that we haven't got the results our football has deserved but we will go to City full of confidence. We will give it our best shot and see where it takes us."

Match Report

Craig Bellamy struck a brace and substitute Steven Gerrard was on target as Liverpool rounded off 2011 with a stylish 3-1 win over Newcastle United on Friday night. The Welsh forward grabbed his first of the encounter on the half hour mark after the Magpies had stolen in front through Daniel Agger's unfortunate own goal. The Reds continued to press in the second period and it was no surprise when Bellamy fired home his second with a well-struck free-kick before Gerrard came off the bench to put the seal on victory with a clinical finish 12 minutes from time. It means the Reds are level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea prior to the rest of the weekend's fixtures. Ahead of the match Kenny Dalglish made two changes to the side that drew with Blackburn Rovers on Boxing Day. In came Bellamy and Jay Spearing at the expense of Luis Suarez (suspension) and Maxi Rodriguez, while skipper Gerrard continued his recovery from injury with a place on the bench. Typically the spotlight was centered on former Magpies striker Andy Carroll in the build-up to the game and it was no surprise to see the big No.9 leading the Reds line as they made a positive start to the proceedings. Indeed, the Kop could have been celebrating an opening goal inside two minutes but Charlie Adam miscued at the same near post where he had inadvertently given Blackburn the lead just four days earlier. Next, Agger rampaged forward and fizzed a low effort five yards off target as Dalglish's team sought the early goal that has eluded them on so many occasions in L4 so far this term. It could and perhaps should have arrived on 15 minutes but despite some intelligent build up from Bellamy and former Magpie, Jose Enrique, there was no-one hungry enough to make the burst into the six yard box that the Spaniard's drilled cross required. The visitors were doing their best to offer some sort of threat on the counter but even when the opportunity arose they failed to make any headway, with referee Lee Probert's unintentional intervention teeing up Adam to rasp a shot over from 30 yards. The lively Stewart Downing continues to search for his first goal for the club and he again came close to opening his account with a near post drive that had Tim Krul diving low to his left to keep at bay. There had been several pre-match calls from some Kopites to light the touch paper for the encounter by evoking an atmosphere akin to that of Anfield's famous European nights, but as the half reached the midway point it was the visiting support who were in stronger voice. Their side had rarely troubled Pepe Reina in the Liverpool goal but on 25 minutes they stunned the Spaniard by striking the first blow. Ryan Taylor sent a dangerous ball into the middle that was flicked towards goal by Yohan Cabaye before nicking off Agger and flying into the middle of the net. It was a huge blow for the hosts but they reacted in the best way possible and within four minutes they had restored parity. Adam rescued Enrique's left wing cross on the far side of the Newcastle area and immediately looked to fire the ball back into the danger area. The Scot's low centre was diverted towards the penalty spot by a desperate Newcastle foot, allowing Bellamy to steady himself and steer a fine shot into the bottom right-hand corner of Krul's net. The roar of approval from the home support inspired more purpose in Liverpool's attacks in the final moments of the first period and they could easily have gone in ahead had Martin Skrtel's flick-on from Bellamy's left-wing corner dropped an inch nearer to Adam at the far post. The Reds maintained the front-foot following the interval without truly hurting the Newcastle backline. In fact, as the hour mark approached a long range piledriver from Downing was all they had mustered in terms of attempts of note. There was a clear need for some inspiration and Dalglish responded by replacing Adam with his skipper. The No.8 has so often given his teammates a lift in times of need and he almost made an instant impact, curving in a delicious right-wing cross that Carroll came within a whisker of converting. Five minutes later and the club captain was it again, sending an even better ball over the top that put the former Magpies hero clean through on goal with just Krul to beat. However, the England forward's first touch was far too heavy and a gilt-edged opportunity went begging. There was a growing feeling it was going to be another one of those frustrating days for Liverpool but they reckoned without the enterprise of Bellamy. The Welshman had been a constant menace throughout and produced a moment of magic to give the home team the lead on 67 minutes. The No.39 assumed command at a free-kick 25 yards from goal and whipped over an effort that confused both Danny Simpson and Krul to drop into the far corner of the net. It was no more than the Reds deserved but they were almost made to pay for switching off just moments later when Demba Ba seized upon a clever through ball and clipped a shot over the advancing Reina, only to be denied by a magnificent goal-line clearance by Skrtel. Back up the other end and Gerrard was the supplier-in-chief, delivering a mouthwatering right-wing cross that Carroll crashed against the crossbar with a thumping header. The skipper had been a real shining light for Liverpool following his introduction and he capped it off with the third of the night 12 minutes from time. A neat touch by Jordan Henderson put the midfielder in on goal and took his time before picking the ideal moment to slot the ball underneath Krul and into the far corner. It was the perfect way to round-off 2011 and means the Reds will now head into the New Year with their top four hopes very much alive.

Liverpool make Bent enquiry....

Well according to media reports........

Liverpool have inquired about the availability of Aston Villa striker Darren Bent and will look to make a January bid, according to Metro.

The England international has been on Liverpool’s radar since January and Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli admitted he was considering a bid before Bent moved to Villa. Bent was ruled out of Villa’s game with Liverpool earlier this month and was spotted shopping in Cambridge at the same time his Villa teammates were playing the Reds.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is looking for a striker after bemoaning his side’s lack of clinical edge. The Reds have only scored 21 goals so far this season in the league and Bent is always good for goals. The England international may be available for less than the £24m Villa paid from Sunderland and Liverpool are ready to pay around £20m for Bent. A move for Bent comes following the hefty ban Luis Suarez has received following his racist abuse charge.

Reds striker Andy Carroll is expected to start against Newcastle tonight, but if Bent makes the switch to Anfield, reports are bound to circulate over the future of Carroll at Anfield.
