Following his actions after the Manchester – Liverpool FA cup tie  criticising referee Howard Webb and a subsequent FA charge earlier this month, Ryan Babel revealed to his followers that he was being sent to TwitterJail and has not tweeted since. He also left this image as his display picture:

Seems as though if Ryan’s football career doesn’t work out (which is semi-realistic giving his time at Liverpool) he might have a career in graphic design. Or as a comedian.

However, fans of his insane comments on the social networking site will be pleased to hear that he tweeted today stating that ‘* Release Date 31st January * #TwitterJail‘ which would seem to imply that he is up for parole. Here’s a picture of him at the recent hearing:

Whether this has anything to do with Babel’s transfer to Hoffenheim, which was confirmed yesterday, is unknown. It would seem to be unrelated though as if the ban had been imposed by Liverpool you would think he would be able to tweet straight away. I wish he was able to tweet straight away! Of his transfer, Ryan has been quoted as saying “I am looking forward to my new mission in Hoffenheim,” making him sound like the Terminator or something.

Since going to TwitterJail, Babel has tweeted just once (which kind of defeats the point of being in TwitterJail, unless TwitterJail isn’t what I think it is) to share a link of a new rap music video for his buddy Perry Mystique (who?) that he’s edited. It’s unclear whether Ryan himself edited the beats or the video.

It has led to several hilarious fan comments on the YouTube page though, such as: ‘Would have been better spending your time in training pal! Liverpool lost 6 mil on you because of shite like this! Everyone wanted you to succeed. People paid good money to watch you play, and you never put your heart into it. If you want to be a hip hop producer be a hip hop producer. If you want to be a footballer, then pull your socks up and give it a go! Hopefully you’ll learn this in Germany..’ which pretty much hits the nail on the head in this situation.

Despite this though I will miss the site of Ryan Babel sitting on the bench at Anfield and tweeting nonsense. At least I’ll still be able to follow him though, that’s if his release from TwitterJail goes to plan.

It seems like something’s in the water up on Merseyside. Last week an Everton fan handcuffed himself to the post during the Everton Manchester City game for no apparent reason, and now this week a cat just made it onto the pitch just now in the Liverpool V Spurs match. It didn’t really do much except perplex Brad Friedel but it’s still pretty jokes and something that I have never, ever seen happen before so thought it was worth a cheeky post and video on Sick Chirpse.

Some of the commentary was pretty good too: ‘How does a little cat find it’s way into a football stadium!?’ After about a minute some stewards helped it off the pitch and that was that, although before that it was pretty much allowed to wander around as it pleased which is kind of unusual for a football match, especially during a pitch invasion!

Someone who may or may not be Emmanuel Eboue (his account isn’t verified and it’s kind of confusing to tell if it’s him or not because he could actually be that weird) also had this to say about the incident on his twitter:

‘Daglish cat on the anfield pitch to help andy carol score… we all know he needs a hand… 35 MILLION WASTE..”

Anyone know anything about how or why a cat decided to interrupt the Liverpool V Spurs match? Hit us up. Check out the incident of the cat interrupting the game at Anfield below in this video though:

Wow. Would you look at that? I thought I couldn’t see something grosser associated with Liverpool football club than this Liverpool shirt made out of condoms but it looks like I was completely wrong as Liverpool have (just in time for Xmas!!) released the ‘Liverpool Stadium shirt’ which is pretty much what you would expect it to be. Yeah, that’s right, they’ve released a short sleeved button up shirt that is pretty much just a full sized version of Anfield on your shirt. On the front, and on the back. I have gotta ask myself who the hell would actually want to buy this? If you’re a Liverpool fan you’re just gonna buy a Liverpool shirt with Gerrard or Suarez on the back (all of their other players are shit so it’s pretty much gotta be one of those two right?) or maybe at a push some kind of Liverpool t-shirt with ‘you’ll never walk alone’ or ‘toffees suck’ or some other kind of phrase/tagline that’s associated with Liverpool. I don’t think anyone is actually going to want to buy a really horrible coloured shirt with a real shit picture of Anfield on the front and the same shit picture of Anfield on the back. Check out the picture below:

Even if you really, really love Anfield I don’t think that you would want to buy this, I mean surely you could just pick up a t-shirt that says ‘This Is Anfield’ or something because that would be at least 100 X better than this piece of crap? Maybe, just maybe if you were planning to dress up as a retarded Liverpool fan for Halloween you might CONSIDER buying this, but then if you had any sense you would probably allow it because it costs £40 and that’s way too much for a shitty Halloween costume. I guess maybe Everton fans MIGHT hate Liverpool fans enough to actually do that and then maybe burn the shirt afterwards, but even that seems like a long shot.

Unbelievably though, on the Liverpool website the XXL and XS sizes of the shirt are both sold out. Granted, they probably only got a few in each of these sizes because they’re the most unused sizes, but even so it’s remarkable that they’ve actually managed to sell them? Of course, if I actually saw this shirt on someone I think it would probably be a really really fat fvck or a little kid, so maybe it’s not that surprising. More likely though they probably just never even had those sizes but instead of listing them as unavailable they listed them as sold out to look a bit better.

It seems like Liverpool are becoming more and more of a caricature of themselves with stuff like ‘Being Liverpool’ (despite being really good it probably shouldn’t exist) and their current brand of losing football, and the release of this shirt just seems to be the icing on the cake. Let’s hope they sort everything out soon, or if, more realistically, you’re enjoying their slow demise like most of the country then let’s hope they can top this one soon.

African football fans seem to take the Premier League WAY too seriously.

During Arsenal’s humiliation at Anfield on Saturday, an unnamed Arsenal fan in Meru was becoming more and more irate with the celebrations of Anthony Muteithia – a very passionate Liverpool fan – in the pub where they were both watching the game. Apparently Muteithia was overcelebrating every basic mistake that Arsenal made – as you probably would considering the scoreline and the importance of the match – and this drove the Arsenal fan into a berserker rage.

This anger boiled over at the final whistle and the Arsenal fan confronted Muteithia, stabbing him multiple times before leaving him for dead outside the bar. Anthony later died at the Meru Level Five hospital from his wounds. So far local authorities have not been able to come up with any leads on the assailant, but they did stress that a manhunt was currently underway for the fugitive. It doesn’t really sound that promising though if nobody in the bar could give them any information on them.

Still, this story makes football violence in England look like a complete joke. African fans need to get their heads screwed on and stop doing stuff like this because it’s completely stupid and ridiculous. How can someone get so upset over a football result that they kill someone else?

The Moyes jokes keep on coming, but this one might be the most elaborate one yet. Paddy Power pulled off one of their cheekier moves (even cheekier than when they offered that bet on Oscar Pistorius) the other day by erecting this bronze statue of the former Manchester United manager outside Anfield.

A spokesperson put it perfectly: “The Moyes and Manchester United pairing may have had none of the magic of a drunken Tinder date, but there’s no doubt he’s the ‘chosen one’ for the Liverpool faithful who’ve also enjoyed seeing their club go from strength to strength this season.”

Moyes might not be too fussed however, he received £5 million big ones as consolation for getting the sack last week.

A dude called Chris Smith noticed that there was a gap in the LEGO market (pretty crazy considering how they pretty much have a finger in every pie, like a LEGO episode of The Wire and LEGO album covers) and decided to recreate famous football grounds in LEGO and then sell them through his company Brickstand.

Chris offered the following explanation:

I started after searching for something similar and finding nothing really existed. I decided to do it myself in the thought that it would combine two passions of mine: Lego and football.

Well played dude. It doesn’t come cheap though, with a replica stadium costing somewhere in the vicinity of £299. Ouch.

Chris hopes to eventually have every single football league ground available to buy, but in the meantime here are some of the big ones alongside my beloved St. Andrew’s which for some reason he’s decided to include in the first batch. Obviously knows good football.

Even if you’re not that into football, you probably heard that this weekend was Steven Gerrard’s last ever match at Anfield, which is obviously a big deal as he’s been associated with Liverpool for the last fifteen years or whatever.

As you might expect, footballers from all over the world decided to pay tribute to him on this occasion, with many taking to social media in order to do this. Most of them posted your typical ‘well done Gerrard you’re a legend etc’ messages but Fabio Cannavaro really pushed the boat out with his, screwing it up more than anyone ever thought was possible.

He had the same idea as most other people with his words, offering a fairly generic list of hashtags describing the great man and what he thought was a picture of him playing against him during both players’ time on the international stage. The only thing was that instead of putting a picture of him and Gerrard up on his page, he instead put one of him and Frank Lampard. Whoops  – that’s a pretty big mistake to make and obviously given the endless debate over which of the two was the better player and if they could play on the same team or not, there probably isn’t a worse player that Cannavaro could have mixed Gerrard up with.

Obviously he realised his mistake fairly sharpish and deleted it, but not before we got a picture of it, of course. Cue loads of jokes about Gerrard and Lampard not being able to play on the same team or Italians being unable to separate them etc etc.

If you’re missing Gerrard already, cast your mind back to last year and some of the best memes that appeared after he fell over to pretty much hand Manchester City the Premier League.
