"Liverpool Football Club has been such a huge part of all our lives for so long and saying goodbye is going to be difficult, but I feel it’s something that’s in the best interests of all involved, including my family and the club itself.” - Steven Gerrard, January 2015 The words that plagued Liverpool fans and...

The initial buzz of the summer transfer window seems to have died down a little. The Piotr Zielinski deal never materialised as many had expected and a Mario Gotze U-turn meant the German hasn't been pictured leaning around Melwood just yet. Loris Karius is the sole signing this summer so far, but with Ben Chilwell...

Growing up in America, Philadelphia to be exact, is not exactly a hot bed for soccer. I started following Liverpool Football Club in 1998. I grew up playing just about every sport except soccer. One might ask how I became such a Red fanatic then? Well, let me tell you... Being from Philadelphia there are...

Simon Mignolet has been heavily criticised throughout his time at Liverpool, displaying inconsistency and a distinct lack of confidence leading to defensive errors. The Belgian is far from the calming and influential figures of Petr Cech, David De Gea and Hugo Lloris and with the new signing of Loris Karius, could Jurgen Klopp finally...

Twitter is a breeding ground for lazy people looking to become popular. It's a place where fiction becomes fact. A few weeks ago, after the loss in the Europa League final, there was a tweet doing the rounds. It got over 500 retweets despite the fact it was factually incorrect. It was a tweet by...

Antonio Conte. Jose Mourinho. Pep Guardiola. Jurgen Klopp. And maybe Arsene Wenger.

Jurgen Klopp would also have...

A few weeks ago I said on the Nina Kauser show that I'd write an article on Daniel Sturridge. I very much meant it at the time but a few days later I came to regret making such a very public promise. The very thought of another Sturridge article or debate bores me to tears....

Since Liverpool last won the Champions League in 2005, it has gone through five managers in Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish, Brendan Rodgers, and now Jurgen Klopp. 06/07 season was the last time Liverpool have showed their dominance in European football, and 2013/2014 was the most recent surge in hopes for an elusive league...

After Liverpool announced the signing of Loris Karius my wife, who has a fleeting interest in football at best, asked if he was a footballer or model which left me thinking what would be the club's best looking team? From the ‘90s Spice Boys to the face cream team in the Nivea adverts here’s a look...

After nearly two seasons out with injury, Jon Flanagan made a much awaited comeback from his injury in February. But, things haven't exactly gone to plan for the young Scouser. Expectations were no doubt high from Flanagan, given what he had achieved before he got injured at the end of the 2013-2014 season. In a squad that...
