Today is also Groundhog day in the USA,  George Gillett woke up this morning and saw his own shadow. Unfortunately it is going to be at least another 6 months of H&G ownership.

Speaking of USA, word is that the Reds might tour North America this Summer. If this is true that would be awesome for me personally and also for LFC. The last time the Reds toured America was right before the start of the 2004/05 season and then we won in Istanbul, Good Omen? :-)

We have a new writer on EOTK here is his first post
(Does he look like a Liverpool player? :-) )

There was a strong word that Vasilis Torosidis was joining Liverpool as the window was closing more…

(So far there has not been any confirmation however there still might be if it was a late transfer)

However Weijl has completed a loan move back to the Netherlands more…
(So it is a loan and not a sale as originally reported)

Former Liverpool Chief Executive Rick Parry wants a gambling ‘Task Force’ to be set up more…

(Sorry Guillem I just can not trust Hicks & Gillett)

And Purslow is not contemplating life without Rafa, Torres or Gerrard more…

(However in the basement of the News of the World there was a meeting to decide which story to run. I believe they might be going to Torres is leaving as it has been a couple of weeks since they ran that story :-) )

And Robbie Keane joined Celtic claiming he has been a lifelong Celtic fan more…
(Wait a minute I heard that before from him last year. Yes he said that he was a lifelong Liverpool supporter. So does anyone out there still blame Rafa for Keane leaving Liverpool? Not to offend any of our Irish friends but I think he has a problem.)
