Liverpool Manager? One That’s “Ours”

I always said to the mighty Anfield Index Godfather, Gags, that I’d write one article for him. Just never thought it would be this one! Brendan Rodgers aka Janet Jackson - what have you done for me lately? Oooooh ooooooh ooooooh ooooooohhhhhhhhh yeah. As I waited once the whistle was blown at Goodison today, you didn’t wave....

The Importance of Winning the Derby

Twitter is the breeding ground for bad ideas and I've seen plenty on there lately. From the petition to sign Marco Reus, the "let's all dress as Jurgen Klopp" for the Villa game movement that made the press to the recent "I hope we lose so Brendan Rodgers is sacked" gang that's starting to...

Best and Worst of Recent Merseyside Derbies

Derby day is around the corner. The time of the season when the city of Liverpool unites in an amalgamation of red and blue. Little red children walk hand in hand with little blue children.
