Aidan Magee cites the signing of Nathan Ellington by Watford as an indication of a wealth gap emerging in the Championship. But Watford generated almost exactly the same amount as they spent on Ellington by the sale of Bouazza to Fulham. And several of the Watford players on the pitch on Saturday, like Bouazza, came through the ranks at Vicarage Road. Lloyd Doyley deserves special mention - I thought he had an excellent game and I would have put him ahead of McAnuff as MOTM. Mind you, the Duke looked pretty special when he came on so I think the money was well spent.

genius manager+ hungry talented squad+ stable boardroom+ world's most passionate fans+ rich generous owners= Fergie's worst nightmare.

I'm sure he would have been - if he played for either Blackburn or City...which he doesn't!

Magnificent display of symphonic football. The old and new players meshed into hunting packs of wolfs that scared the living daylights of the poor opposition. Sunderland did better last week because they were more compact and took the game with more confidance, but they still lost by two. Benitez is right. If, and when, you have scorers all over the pitch, the opposition will not be able to focus their strengths and shrink inwards. Whether Liverpool wins the league this year or not, we are in for a treat of magical footballing display not burdened on the shoulders of the few, but spread throughout the squad. I think Roman bought the wrong club.

Er Michael - Pennant wasnt playing - he doent play for either Arsenal or Portsmouth.

Liverpool will not move from the top of the league now.

What poor journalism.
Ellington was bought with money from the sale of Hameur Bouazza to Fulham, who was a product of Watford's academy.
Henderson's transfer to Preston did not "fall through"; Watford gave him a new improved four-year contract to retain him, as he is wanted.
Kabba is not injured.
Ellignton has been pursued by Watford for a long time; the defeat at Leicester did not panic them into buying him.

The longer McLaren fails to pick Pennant for his England squads, the better for Liverpool. He played 60 minutes on the weekend and no one played better than him. He is in a rich vein of form at Liverpool and long may it continue.

I agree... I still can't understand how Pennant still can't make the team.

James F, Malaysia,

Michael M..Which game were you watching. Pennant doesn't play for either City or Rovers. You were, however watching the mighty Blackburn wipe the floor with City.It should have been 4 or 5 nil.

McClaren has made a mistake not bringing in Pennant to the England Squad - he was brilliant on the left handside yesterday - not only cutting in on his right but also putting in several good crosses with his left.

I hope the England manager McClaren watched this game. Pennant was superb.
