Superbowl Sunday is always a strange day for me. The last time I watched an entire Superbowl game was more than 20 years ago when Chicago's "Superbowl Shuffle" beat the Patriots. Usually I spend the day doing the opposite of what the majority are doing. For example, for Superbowl 2006, I had a launch party […]

If anyone deserves Liverpool man of the match award, it's not a Liverpool player. Instead of the honor going to Fernando Torres, that award should be awarded to the man in the middle Mike Riley. Every time I see Mike Riley as referee to any game, my thoughts immediately change from how the game is […]

The next battle of the Big Four is set for this Sunday when Chelsea travels to Anfield in a crunch match for both sides. Rafa needs to regain his composure and get his team winning at the ground that used to be a fortress. Chelsea needs to prove that they're capable of beating a Big […]

What is Rafa Benitez playing at? Liverpool have had a nightmare January and from being out in front, now find themselves back amongst their rivals in third place, having dropped 6 points in the last 3 league games. Comparing their performances in the Premiership since their emphatic win at Newcastle on December 28th, they seem like a different […]

The sooner Rafa Benitez keeps his mouth shut about how teams are playing against Liverpool, even in off handed ways, and focuses on getting your team back on the winning path; the better off you will be. The comments made after Liverpool's 1-1 draw at the JJB against Wigan in my mind read like a […]

American billionaire Robert Kraft may make a £270m bid for George Gillett’s 50 percent share of Liverpool. "We haven't ruled it out completely," Kraft told Sky Sports News. "But I'm worried a little bit. I want to be able to win whatever we do. But there are no rules in terms of spending on players. […]

You never commit too soon. Mike Pollitt did just that towards the end of the first half of Wigan's home tie with Liverpool and paid the price. While Mido equalize late in the match, this was a game where Wigan seriously had a chance at getting all three points. Yes it's harsh to blame one […]

A new photograph has been leaked of Liverpool's away shirt for the 2009/2010 season. Manufactured by Adidas, the new Liverpool away jersey is black with gold trim. In the above photograph found on a Liverpool fan forum, the image shows a color pantone guide next to the shirt presumably to use for color correcting. The […]

If, like me, you're always looking around the Internet for those hard to find football shirts from your past, frustrated as someone gazumps on you on e-bay for the classic 1987 Tottenham away kit with 3 seconds to go, then there has to be only one website for you to visit: www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk To say it's […]

Residents of Liverpool are far less likely to be the victims of crime compared to Greater Manchester residents, according to the most recent crime statistics from British government organizations. Stereotypes permeate the mainstream. The danger is when people don't know the difference between fact and fiction, stereotypes, in their minds, become reality. Such is the […]

The fourth round FA Cup match between Liverpool and Everton ended in a 1-1 draw on Sunday at Anfield — the second draw between the two Merseyside clubs in less than one week. Everton scored the opener in the first half after Liverpool was again guilty of poor defensive marking from a set play. This […]

Manchester City’s new ownership sent chairman Garry Cook, brimming with billions, to build a super-club capable of Champions League qualification. The club’s £91m bid for Kaka was a noted fiasco, but, as details have emerged, that’s hardly been their only activity. City reportedly made an equally irresponsible bid for Spain and Valencia star David Villa, […]

Rumors are circulating that Liverpool's new away shirt for the 2009/2010 season will be black with gold trim. The new shirt features a round collar. Carlsberg will continue to be Liverpool's shirt sponsor, while the football kit itself is manufactured by Adidas. No official confirmation has been announced yet, but thanks to Football Shirts for […]

So it's all off then, Kaka has shunned the millions on offer to switch the San Siro for Eastlands, turned his back on an alleged £500,000 a week ( A measly take home salary of £260,000 per week after tax) and declared his love for AC Milan. Am I surprised? A little bit, but it's certainly reaffirmed […]

Monday's Merseyside derby is the 209th time Liverpool will have battled Everton. As usual, there's a lot at stake for the match and it isn't just bragging rights on Merseyside. Liverpool need a win to regain the top position in the table, while Everton need a win to edge closer to European qualification. The first […]
