Liverpool's title party was brought to an abrupt end after they were walloped 4-0 by Manchester City at the Etihad.
Goals from Kevin de Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden, and an Alex Oxlade Chamberlain own goal condemned the full-strength, yet at times shambolic Reds to a heavy defeat. Despite some good chances, the visitors --...
"Part of me can't help but think that the side that beat us to win the league by a point have strengthened while we've stood still."
That's what I tweeted on 7 August 2019. Manchester City had just broken the bank for a big-name full-back again, this time Juventus' Joao Cancelo. Earlier in the summer,...
The ongoing global pandemic has already had a big impact on football finances.
With games returning behind closed doors, clubs have been deprived of matchday revenues, in terms of hospitality, ticket sales, and other streams of income, such as club shop sales. Additionally, and more impactfully, television rebates — even given the fact they have...

Liverpool arrive at the Etihad Stadium as Premier League champions, reigning Champions League holders, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup winners. That's not bad, is it? If...
Somehow, it was inevitable that it ended this way.
Not with a roar that had been pent up for thirty years, not with a glorious cavalcade, not even in front of any fans. In fact, there weren’t even any red shirts on the pitch at the end of the ninety minutes that confirmed Liverpool as...
Well they did it. It’s over.
Liverpool were officially labelled Premier League Champions as Man City slipped up at Chelsea, losing 2-1 and giving Liverpool a 23 point lead with seven games to go.
This is the first time in my lifetime I’ve seen Liverpool win the title and for many of you it’s likely either...
As much as you could learn next to nothing from Liverpool's return to football from their pandemic hiatus in the drab 0-0 Merseyside derby draw at Goodison Park -- a game played with the tempo of a pre-season friendly -- it did reaffirm something that many of their fans knew: The Reds need a...
Liverpool don’t have the best of luck when it comes to buying Italian players. Alberto Aquilani’s time on Merseyside was plagued by injuries, Andrea Dossena had that one week as a cult hero, Fabio Borini failed to live up to the hype while Mario Balotelli was, well, Mario Balotelli.
The Reds have been near faultless...
Finally, after what felt like an interminable wait, Liverpool Football Club are Champions of England once again.
The Reds' 19th crown -- their first in the Premier League era -- is all the more impressive, given the club's recent boom and bust history; where a title challenge would inevitably be followed a season later by...
“Doubters to believers”
A mantra that Jurgen Klopp has drummed into the Liverpool faithful from day one. For decades, three of them to be precise, Liverpool had mounted a few real title challenges, only to fall desperately short and fade into mediocrity thereafter.
We’ve seen managerial changes, changes of ownership and players come and go. Still,...
