Journalist: 'Henderson’s move to Saudi Arabia is a disappointment'
Over 50 Years of Football – What Keeps Us Hooked?
When you’ve watched football for more than 50 years, the odd epiphany hits you. Especially when you’re sober. Why the hell am I watching this? If you think about it seriously, 22 people running around a pitch chasing a ball is a pretty silly thing to do. I mean, in the end, what does it matter?

Luis Suarez: We Could Never Get Enough
The Controversial Yet Genius Career of Luis Suarez
As Liverpool fans, we've been lucky to witness an amazing collection great players throughout the history of the club. No matter your age, you'll have seen great players wearing the famous red shirt. Everybody has their favourites, everyone has their own choice as to who the best they've seen is.
Often, people's views on who the greatest player in club history is will be influenced by their age and the era they …
Will this be Mo Salah's final season in a Liverpool shirt?
When Mo Salah arrived at Liverpool in 2017, few would scarcely have believed the heights he would hit at Anfield in the six years that have followed.
Let's not forget that some even thought he was being signed as a backup option to Sadio Mane. Genuinely!
There is no question that Salah is now one of the greatest players in Liverpool's history, though, belonging firmly in the same company as Steven Gerrard, Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Graeme Souness, …

Liverpool FC: A Tale of Heroes, Villains and Football's Fickle Nature
Unmasking The Heroes and Villains in Football's Narrative
In Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight the facially compromised Harvey Dent says, “you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” The context was a discussion about how the Romans would suspend democracy during times of war and Rachel Dawes points out that the last person appointed to this all-powerful post never relinquished his position.
Now, in the fickle world …
FSG Out - The Rise & Fall of our Controversial Owners
For the entirety of January, I was convinced my football club would recruit that midfielder which was desperately needed. My misguided faith in our owners (doing the right thing) has left me saddened, as I wanted to remember them for all the good they have done for this historical club. It can never be denied how they were able to modernise, restructure, grow, and bring this franchise to the very peak of modern-day football. Their success was built upon smart …
David Johnson - You’ll Never Walk Alone
To look back at the history of Liverpool Football Club, it will always produce a high volume of celebrated names. The future legends of this era will one day become mythical figures spoken of to our children and grandchildren, but this past week requires more attention to the name of one of the clubs' departed heroes, David Johnson.
This former Red passed away on the 22nd November, just a month after his 71st birthday. This is a man that came …
The Brilliance of Steve McManaman
When listening to Champions League matches on BT Sport, there’s perhaps younger viewers unsure of the ex footballer on co-commentary. For the past few seasons a certain Scouse voice has echoed through the midweek coverage, and everyone should be made aware of what this man was, as a player himself.
When thinking of the former Liverpool player, Steve McManaman, I try not to immerse myself too much into what he offers from the gantry, but the absolute brilliance he brought …
Thiago Influence Can Lift Jordan Henderson To Old Self
Jordan Henderson is an extremely versatile player, as we've seen throughout the entirety of his Liverpool career.
Whether it's been as the midfield anchor, as an energetic, box to box tornado of engine room intensity or -- as we saw in his first season with the Reds, under Kenny Dalglish -- as a right midfielder in midfield four, the captain has been a consistent performer for most of the time since his summer 2011 move from Sunderland.
Playing as the …
Let's Talk About 1990
Liverpool’s first league title in 30 years is within touching distance. Jürgen Klopp has masterminded an incredible season that has broken records along the way, with a team that is likely to go down in Liverpool folklore.
But how did things look back in 1990? Well, here’s a taster as we step back in time to look at what was happening the last time the Reds were league champions.

Four Years Of Jürgen Klopp - Part 1 Belief & Unity
Next week will mark four years since Jürgen Klopp took charge at Anfield and began the process of transforming the Reds from Premier League also-rans into one of the dominant teams in world football.
Over the next few days I’ll be reminiscing about some of the crucial games and moments that have stood out along that incredible journey. We begin with this:
Liverpool 2-2 West Bromwich Albion - 13 December 2015
