Would Istanbul glory pip Liverpool's 2005 heroics?
The idea of this season ending in glory for Liverpool seems little more than a pipe dream, if we're being completely honest.
It has been a disastrous campaign for the Reds, with injuries depleting them and their Premier League title defence going out in a whimper. Not only that, but a top-four finish now looks highly unlikely, too.
If that Thursday night graveyard shift in the Europa League is to be avoided next season, it looks as though Liverpool will …

Liverpool's Biggest Night Since Istanbul
What stage of your life were you at on May 25th, 2005, when Liverpool enjoyed the most famous night in their great history?
On a personal note, I was on the verge of taking my A-Levels, and can confirm that the following day was not spent in exam mode, but instead spent suffering from the most severe hangover imaginable.
Adrenaline was through the roof, new heroes were made in an instant and anything felt possible during the hours after Jerzy …

A Champions League Final - 8000km Away From Liverpool
25th May, 2005 - I was a little kid watching my Indian neighbour get intensely excited about a game of football. The neighbour was thrilled that his team was going to be playing in the biggest club football game of the year.

Klopp, Liverpool, and How Emotion Conquered Perfection

So, when people marry the word “passion” with Liverpool; the fabled atmosphere, the manager, what are they actually saying? What use is passion, really, in a game so dominated by …
Just How Attractive Is Jürgen Klopp?
It's been an odd couple of days for those of us obsessed with the state of affairs at Liverpool Football Club. For one cohort, the aftermath of Manchester United's Europa League victory was the perfect opportunity for the kind of moaning and masochistic self-flagellation that seems to be de rigeur amongst them. They truly seem to hate themselves and the rest of the world, this lot. It was all over now, you see. The Mancs would beat us to all the …
