Birthday boy Gerrard looks to improve
Source : http://www.thisisanfield.com
Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard turns 29 today and was given an early birthday present in London last night when he was presented with the Football Writers’ Player of the Year award.
Gerrard beat off competition from PFA Player of the Year Ryan Giggs to win the accolade and on picking up the award, the midfielder vowed to raise his game further next season to edge Liverpool closer to the Premier League title.
“I would not be standing here without my family, my wife and a few close friends are here tonight, and I have to say a big thank you to them,” he said.
“Also my club manager, Rafael Benitez, who has a lot of belief in me. He has pushed me further forwards into a role I am absolutely loving at the moment - every time I go out, I feel so confident.
“The coaches at Liverpool and England are always driving me on, trying to improve me as a player. I am 29 on Saturday and I still feel I can get better.
“I am still learning every single day in training, working on parts of my game, am still very hungry and ambitious.”

Sami Hyypia Profile
Sami Hyypiä was signed by Liverpool in May 1999 from the Dutch Eredivisie side Willem II for the fee of £2.5 million.
Prior to his arrival at Liverpool, Hyypiä notably won the Finnish Cup twice with his first club MyPa in 1992 and 1995. In 1995 he had his first taste of English football on a two-week trial with Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle at the age of 22. Hyypiä was also named fan’s player of the year for Willem II in his final year for the club before his transfer to Liverpool.
Hyypiä quickly settled into the heart of Liverpool’s defence, recording over 40 appearances per season in all competitions for his first 8 seasons at the club. This reached a peak of 58 appearances as part of the Treble-winning side during 2000-2001, as Liverpool won the Worthington Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup in the same season.
Hyypiä’s International debut came at the age of 19, against Tunisia in November 1992. Approaching his 100th Cap, Hyypiä has scored 5 goals for his national side along the way. He made his Liverpool debut on 07th August 1999 against Sheffield Wednesday, the match finishing 2-1 in Liverpool’s favour.
Measuring a towering 6’4, Hyypiä is renowned for his qualities in the air at both ends of the pitch. A reliable defender, he also chips in with several goals per season, more often than not with his head. In 2004, following the arrival of new manager Rafael Benitez, Jamie Carragher was moved from his full-back position to the central defence, where he and Hyypiä would form a formidable partnership for opposition strikers. Ever reliable, Hyypiä was to play every minute of European football for Liverpool from November 2001 to February 2006, a total of 57 complete matches.
Hyypiä formed part of the Champion's League winning side in the 2004-2005 season, his highest honour as a player. Other honours include the UEFA Cup, 2 European Super Cups, 2 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and 2 Community Shields.
Since the arrival of central defender Daniel Agger in 2006 competition has been difficult for the central defensive spots at Liverpool, further complicated by the later arrival of Martin Skrtel in January 2008. Despite his age of 35, Hyypiä enters his 10th season for Liverpool in the 2008-2009 season after signing a new one-year contract earlier in the year.

3-0 for Liverpool... Good night West Ham.
I saw a lot of West Ham supporters leaving the grounds around the 70th minute. Stadium was half empty at around 80 minutes.
Disgraceful really. ..
On another note, how funny was the miss kick by Carragher and then the mess-up at the end of that play...
Kicking the ball away from himself and then tripping himself to try to get a penalty (don't remember who exactly it was). Complete joke really. Was quite funny though.

West Ham v Liverpool
very difficult game to predict.
Massive game for both clubs on Saturday
West Ham currently sit in 7th place in the league still fighting for European qualification
Liverpool are 2nd in the table and still have a slight chance of winning the premier league
In the last 3 seasons this has been a pretty close fixture at Upton Park
West Ham won last time 1-0 and lost the other two games 1-2 in hard fought contests.
Will West Ham end Liverpool's league title hopes at Upton Park on Saturday evening?
Or will Liverpool earn another hard fought victory and keep alive their slim title hopes?
How do you predict the outcome and why?

SAMI: 10 YEARS IN 10 GREAT PICS
As Sami Hyypia prepares to bring his glorious Liverpool career to an end we've raided the archives to pick out some of the Finn's finest moments in a red shirt.
Liverpool today confirmed Hyypia will be joining Bayer Leverkusen on a two-year deal in the summer, but his contribution to the Reds' success over the last ten years will ensure he forever holds a special place in the heart of every Kopite.
Good luck Sami. A true Anfield legend.
The new boy looks decent...
A toast to the first of many trophies!
The Owen Cup final - 'my' finest display
Treble glory
Last-gasp glory v Wolves - a Sami favourite
