As I write this Liverpool Football Club sit proudly at the top of the Premier League table and for want of a more suitable phrase ‘this shit just got real’.
Of course there’s a legion of old-timer Kopites who have seen all this a dozen times or more, but similarly there is a whole generation...
As Liverpool FC take the field to take on Spurs on March 30th it will be exactly 50 years to the day since they also faced their North London opponents on the same patch of green Anfield turf.
Back in 1964, The Beatles were number one in the charts with Can't Buy Me Love and...
As a 34 year old Liverpool fan with a dodgy ticker, the last few years have been relatively easy to get through, stress wise. We haven't been that great and we haven't had much to play for at the business end of the season.
Sure we've had times where we've played well and yes, we've...
Neil Poole explains the significance of the number 63 in Liverpool’s recent history and why 89 is now the new number on the block.
The complete irrelevance of the number 63 in the world is quite startling. At best, it’s the year that Joseph of Arimathea went to Glastonbury on the first Christian mission to...

‘Relax’ he pleaded, ‘Relax’. Alas it was too late. For the Cardiff players...
"Can't believe this; same old story again.",
Cried from the crowd before Jon Walter's pen,
"He's goin' to score, this season is shit,
'Look at the bald Evertonian tit."
"Come on Simon, let us see what you're worth!
'Prove to us Reds that you're made for the shirt,"
The crowd became tense, and the scene was set,
Arses in ribbons, heads...
It’s August 2009 Liverpool travel down to White Hart Lane for the opening game of the Premier League season. Xabi Alonso, Sami Hyypia and Alvaro Arbeloa had all departed Merseyside for pastures new and in came Alberto Aquilani, Glen Johnson and Sotirios Kyrgiakos.

The Premier League's popularity is soaring in the United States, where viewers are developing a deep connection with football (or "soccer") as cable providers afford people access to nearly every match.

Doubters.
Something Brendan Rodgers has had to deal with throughout his brief period as Liverpool manager. Whether it be his credentials, his methods, his transfer signings, his bosses, or his vocabulary, there is nothing that has escaped the manager from ridicule.
