Kenny Dalglish unimpressed with Liverpool defeat to Fulham

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish insists last night's poor 1-0 defeat to Fulham will have no bearing on Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea.

The Scot had hoped a number of fringe players would stake their claims to be involved at Wembley after making nine changes, leaving out the likes of Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Craig Bellamy.

But Fulham, who had never won at Anfield in 30 previous attempts, took a fifth-minute lead through Martin Skrtel's own goal and were barely troubled after that.

Soccer star Kaka becomes first athlete to pass 10 million followers on Twitter

The 30 year old Real Madrid mid-fielder Kaka has become the first athlete to pass 10 million followers on Twitter.

Close behind him in the most-followed category is Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently broke the nine million barrier. Although he’s nowhere close to Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, who each have more than 20 million followers, but it’s not a bad haul for Kaka whose career appears to be diminishing after he made himself a global icon in a golden six-year spell at AC Milan in Italy.

In early 2009, he turned down a move to English club Manchester City that would have earned him a reported world-record salary of 500,000 pounds (800,000 dollars) a week.

Liverpool eyes win over Fullham Tuesday Night: Watch Free Live Stream

Tuesday evening tonight, Liverpool shakes itself up for duel with Fullham ahead of FA Cup final meeting with Chelsea.

Liverpool defender Jose Enrique believes that in order to head into Saturday's FA Cup final with full force and after burners fired, a win over Fulham at Anfield Tuesday evening is a prerequisite to show their strength.

And the 3-0 victory over Norwich on Saturday evening, thanks to Luis Suarez's sensational hat-trick, the Liverpool has shown its muscles already. But there is no time to relax and give in easy rides for the other teams ahead of Saturday.

As for Fulham, they are comfortably nested mid-table and would pull level on points with Liverpool with a win. But would that be possible, specially after a 4-0 beating at the hands Everton last Saturday?

Well, seeing the track records, Liverpool has won just five games at home all season, the least in the top half of the Premier League and have scored just 20 home goals - the fifth worst tally in the top flight. Only the bottom two have won fewer away than Fulham this season and the Cottagers' tally of 11 goals on the road is the fewest in the division.

With the reds having one of the worst home records in the division and their minds on this weekend's FA Cup, Phil Kitromilides can see Martin Jol's men getting points at Anfield.

We wait and watch this evening's match and see if the Reds can get out of Anfield happily.
The match is scheduled for Tuesday 1st May 2012 at Anfield. The KO is 18:45 GMT

Missile deployed to protect London Olympics

A ring of six surface-to-air missile sites around London, each with the power to bring down rogue aircraft, is being deployed ahead of London Olympics.

The Lexington Building in Tower Hamlets and the Fred Wigg Tower in Waltham Forest, both in east London, have been identified as potential sites.

David Cameron will have the grim task of ordering the Armed Forces to shoot down a passenger airliner over Britain to prevent a suicide attack on the Olympic Games. The Prime Minister will have his finger on the trigger as an unprecedented defensive 'ring of steel' is thrown up to protect London 2012.

The public will witness a show of military strength not seen at home since the Second World War.
