"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...
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...
Back to the Future
As the dust settles on another domestic season we get an opportunity to assess where our great club is at, and the journey we can reasonably expect it to bring us on in the season to come. As discussed on the LFC Daytrippers pod last week, some fans are happy to...
To Infinity and Beyond…
I feel I’ve let our captain down. His story is similar to that of Woody in Toy Story. The arrival of Buzz Lightyear, coupled with an injury-ravaged campaign has meant that Jordan Henderson has been pushed to the back of my mind.
In this case, our Buzz Lightyear may well be...
Liverpool FC, European Elite.
That’s one of many banners that hang amongst the Kop on European nights, and one of the easiest to understand.
We are Liverpool. Whether rival fans like it or not, we are a club known for its European exploits. Five European Cup’s, three UEFA Cup’s and three Super Cup’s do little to...
In the words of Beyoncé, "Who runs the world?"
Not just girls apparently! We all do.
Since social media has become a global phenomenon, anyone and everyone's opinion is aired for all to see. What the people of the world have to say on a topical issue, is now readily available for your perusal. It doesn't...
See that man pacing the touchline, intensity and focus etched into his brow.
See that man tearing from the dugout, leaping and punching a fist through the air.
See that man smile and laugh, the gathered masses of the press sat comfortably in the palm of his hand.
That man is Jurgen Klopp, and Liverpool will never...
How Things Are
Different eras connect with different people. Based upon what was going on in your life at the time - where you lived, who you were dating, where your career was at - you may have so many memories about a period that is simply trivial to others.
To this day, if I hear...
Why the optimism?
Maybe it's because we wrote this season off when Rodgers was sacked in October. A new manager, whoever it was, would need time to affect change and instill their vision within our club. Then it happened… Klopp-mania. The question is not “why did we expect immediate miracles?” but “how could we have...
It seems to be the constant posture Liverpool Football Club has found itself in since circa 1992. We are always “in transition”, always going through changes, always waiting for players to be bedded in, always looking for the deadwood to be shipped out.
After our 2013/14 season, where we so nearly brought the title home,...
