For its many supporters, the 2010-2011 season for Liverpool FC will be remembered as a roller coaster ride of emotion, with its twists and turns, its ups and downs, and it’s lows equally matched by its highs. Sadly for me, the one event that permanently burned into my memory was the transfer of Fernando Torres. Mr. Torres had won [...]
Throughout Liverpool’s history, seasons are remembered for the trophies won. 1964-65 was FA Cup year, ’76-77, the League and European Cup, ’85-86 the double, 2000-01 the treble and ’04-05 the European Cup.

“Please Get off the stage or you will die” was the cry coming over the tannoy system. The stage which had been erected to provide pre-match entertainment, had been taken over by the travelling Kop.

When Liverpool won the 1984 European Cup against AS Roma, I remember, as a 6-year old, sitting on my dad’s knee watching the TV as the penalty shoot-out unfolded. When Alan [...]
LIVERPOOL 0-2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR Tottenham ruined Kenny Dalglish’s coronation party, as victory moved them above the reds in the race for a Europa League place. Despite doubts whether Spurs wanted to qualify for the Europa League or not, a magnificent Rafael Van der Vaart volley and a hotly disputed Luka Modric penalty, enabled the North London side to move [...]
So, it is official. Manchester United have won their 19th league title, meaning they have now won the most League championships, in turn knocking us off our perch. As much as it pains me to say, credit must go to our arch-rivals from down the East Lancs road. 12 titles in 20 years is as dominant a [...]
