Kenny Dalglish jokes about Man City rejects and forgetting route to Wembley

Two years ago, Manchester City paid 14 million for Craig Bellamy before loaning him out to Cardiff after a season and a half then letting him return to Liverpool on a free transfer last summer. Naturally, the fact that Bellamy was the one to score the decisive 74th minute goal to send Liverpool to the Carling Cup final at City's expense was quite pleasing to Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish and turned him into a post-match press conference comedian.

From Sky Sports:

"He [Bellamy] was unbelievable. If Man City have anyone else like Craig that they don't want to keep, they know where we are," Dalglish said.

His humor wasn't just at Man City's expense, though. He also had some Liverpool material, as well. On the subject of Liverpool making their first trip to Wembley since 1996 (via LiverpoolFC.tv):

"I don't know when the last time (we were there) was, but we know where we are going. We've maybe forgotten the route because we've not been there for a while, but I'm sure the driver will remember!"

And finally, not wanting to leave his audience out of the fun, he zinged one of the congregated journalists when asked about the questionable handball penalty that led to Steven Gerrard's second successful penalty of the tie. Via @OliverKayTimes:

Reporter: "What did you think of the penalty decision?"
Dalglish: "What do you mean?"
Reporter: "The handball."
Dalglish: "Exactly."

That's it for Kenny, folks. He'll be appearing at the Ha-Ha Hut on January 27 and the Old Trafford Comedy Club in Manchester on the 28th. Goodnight!
