The Independent’s Ian Herbert reported earlier today that Tom Hicks’ claim of “we should be winning things” might’ve been somewhat prompted by rising steel prices pushing the costs of Anfield redevelopment from £100m to £400m.

The evening’s highlight reel / gore fest over here is somewhat dominated by Benfica’s Gilles Binya making an earnest attempt at amputating the right leg of Celtic’s Scott Brown. Binya was just trying to play the ball…much the way Todd Bertuzzi confused Scott Moore’s head with a pinata.
