The last three permanent managers of Liverpool have all overseen a familiar pattern of events. Roy Evans, Gerard Houllier and Rafael Benitez all enjoyed moderately successful starts – Evans had a decent first full league season, Houllier a distant third place and a (very fortunate) cup treble, Benitez's Champions League triumph rightly overshadowed a fairly […]

With the departure of longtime club favourite Rafael Benitez, a lack of Champions League football and a hard rebuilding job with minimum cash influx in front of Roy Hodgson, it's indeed a tough time to be a Liverpool fan as the decisions taken by Hodgson, Purslow and Broughton might go on to define the club […]

Every once in a while I come across a unique video that I feel would be worth sharing with you, my readers. And here's one. It's the 1977 European Super Cup between Liverpool, holders of the European Cup (the precursor to the Champions League) at the time against the holders of the European Cup Winner's […]

Liverpool today unveiled their third kit for the 2010-11 season. Designed by Adidas, the kit is black with yellow trim. It's a pretty straightforward design from Adidas but it gets the thumbs up from me. It's clean, bold and looks good. Share your feedback about the new Liverpool football shirt design in the comments section […]

Roy Hodgson’s possible move to Liverpool is, of course, still in the realm of speculation, however, multiple sources (including The Guardian and The Telegraph) have reported he will be named as early as Thursday as the new manager. With reports that Fabio Capello will more than likely retain his position as manager of the English […]

Benitez has finally arrived at Inter Milan, the Spanish manager has signed a two-year contract to bind himself with the European champions. It seems that while Benitez is a great manager, he certainly is perceived as defensive. And while Benitez has said that he likes Jose Mourinho's old 4-2-3-1 system, it seems like he'll certainly […]

Yay! The new fixtures for the 2010-11 Premier League season have been announced. And all around the world we soccer fans are rubbing our hands with glee at the thought of who our team will play on the opening day of the new season, scheduled to kick off on Saturday, August 14. If I sound […]

Photographs of Liverpool's new away shirt have been leaked on the Internet ahead of the official unveiling on Thursday. The photographs confirm that Liverpool's new away jersey will be white with vertical pinstripes in red, gold and black, running down the front and sleeves. The shirt features a v-neck collar, the iconic Adidas three stripes […]

When Rafael Benitez was chosen to succeed Gerard Houllier it was considered a smart move by both parties; Liverpool had signed a master tactician who had proven success in Europe

My memories of how I learned about the news regarding the Hillsborough Disaster and the Bradford Fire Disaster are a lot more vivid than what happened 25 years ago today in the Heysel Stadium Disaster. Part of the reason was because both the Hillsborough and Valley Parade games were played on a Saturday, while the […]

Generally, after the heights climbed of the 08-09 Premier League season, Liverpool supporters thought that this past season would be their year. Surely a squad that would have won the title if not for a couple of blunders against Middlesbrough and a draw with Everton, a squad that did the double over United, including a […]

Fulham An excellent season for the men from Craven Cottage, and a huge credit must go to Roy Hodgson who in two years has transformed his team from relegation fighters to Europa League finalists and fully deserves his Manager of the Year. Has also revived the careers of Bobby Zamora and Damien Duff who have […]

The season is over (save a Champion’s League final on Saturday) and the World Cup is not starting until mid-June. If other fans are anything like me, they are looking for a fix through whatever English football scraps they can find. Transfer rumors are these scraps. Every spare moment I would usually spend watching a […]

In the build-up to the FA Cup Final today between Portsmouth and Chelsea, I thought it'd be interesting to enter the time machine and to go back to 1992 to watch the television broadcast of Portsmouth versus Liverpool in the FA Cup Semi-Final from Arsenal's Highbury Stadium. With John Motson commentating and awful shirt designs […]

When I sat down in August 2009 to predict what the final table for the 2009-10 Premier League would look like, little did I know what a disastrous season lay ahead for Liverpool. At the time, many pundits were predicting that Chelsea would finish in top place. And I was one of them especially after […]
