Running Down a Dream: I Could Be Anyone I Wanted to Be

In a deal that rivals the Missouri Compromise (Wait,that was a total disaster. Scratch that.), I have decided to consolidate the weekly Liverpool F.C. highlights into a single post to placate the Liverpool naysayers but to provide for those of you who come from a more enlightened station in life.

Let's get to it:

Last Saturday the Reds traveled to face Newcastle United at St. James' Park, and much to the chagrin of Cody Girod, came away with a 3-0 thrashing of the Magpies. Goalscorers included Steven Gerrard (28th minute), Dirk Kuyt (46th minute), and Ryan Babel (66th minute). Gerrard's goal on a free-kick was particularly spectacular, despite the fact that the was booed afterwards by Newcastle supporters that were still upset over England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008.

Yesterday, Liverpool continued their run to qualify for the Champions League group stage by defeating FC Porto by the score of 4-1 at Anfield. Goalscorers included Fernando Torres (19th and 78th minutes), Steven Gerrard (83rd minute), and Peter Crouch (87th minute). To qualify from Group A, the Reds need either a win or draw at Marseille on December 11th.
