I’ve decided to look down the road a bit and start my wish list for this coming January transfer window. I think about our needs with some hesitation, keeping in mind the money Liverpool spent over this past summer and the goals we’ve set for this season. It’s hard to grade our year so far this [...]
Last summer’s acquisition of Raul Meireles was a happy time for me as a fan. Having watched some of his performances with the Seleccao, it was easy to see his quality. It took him some time to find his place in our squad but after Dalglish took over in January, he was one of our [...]
From August to May, Liverpool games come thick and fast. Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday or Sunday-Thursday-Thursday depending on the competitions we’re in. Visits to Anfield are quickly followed by treks around the country or to a far foreign land. The life of a Liverpool supporter is a busy one. Then, one afternoon in May, a blow of the [...]
The fixtures for the new season are not even out yet, but the wheels of the transfer market are slowly starting to turn, with Liverpool its main driver.

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 [...]
The Liverpool Players and Families on the end of season Lap of Honour at Anfield after the Liverpool v Tottenham game –
When the final whistle went at Ewood Park on 5th January 2011, not only did it mean a 9th league defeat of the season, it also spelt the end of Roy Hodgson’s turbulent tenure as Liverpool manager.
