Increased Capacity for Red Devil’s Visit What a day Sunday will be. The opening of the upper Anfield Road will bring the capacity up to 57,000. Those 7,000 extra voices will welcome Manchester United with the respect the visitors deserve. There’s often debate about which team are Liverpool’s biggest rivals. For me, it will always […]
Why everyone hates Liverpool part 1: We’re going to boo the anthem. How stupid do the Premier League have to be to “strongly suggest” that clubs play God Save The King? They put the ball in the club’s court and there’s no way Liverpool can back out of it when every other fixture this weekend […]

And then Liverpool spank Manchester United 7-0. It was an experience of pure, uplifting joy. I’ve always thought that I came from the luckiest […]

His role for the team had been phenomenal, and he had helped massively in building a defence, deserving of such a club. He took over from Jamie Redknapp as Liverpool […]
Mike Nevin spoke to Graeme Souness about the passing of World Cup winner and icon Jack Charlton. Lots of good and important things pertain to 66. Route 66, 1066 and the Battle of Hastings, Liverpool F.C. squad number 66, Trent Alexander Arnold of England. Joe Root, England Cricket Captain also dons 66. Sixty-six is one […]
We’re past that stage now aren’t we? That fear? That suspension of belief? We only sang “We’re gonna win the league” with gusto after we beat United at Anfield back in January. Was it really only six months ago? It seems like an age seems like 30 years. Liverpool are going to win the league […]
