Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Promises a Better 2013
Not with words, but with goals. Sure, the opposition on the last match Liverpool will play this year was weak, not to say pathetic at times, but a win is a win.

At first look, this Joe Allen transfer is bound to fail. A young central midfielder, just like Jordan Henderson was last season, just a bit cheaper. Still, £15 million isn’t cheap, especially during these times, not matter how rich the owners are. But maybe Brendan Rodgers knows what he’s doing.
