Liverpool’s Christmas Period Preview: Fixtures, youngsters, and fitness

It’s approaching that time of year again everybody. While it may only be the end of October, many Liverpool fans are starting to turn their gaze forward towards next month’s fixtures, as well as the dreaded Christmas period. In fairness though, there are quite a lot of mouth-watering fixtures to look forward to in the...

Six of the Best, or Six Feet Under? Liverpool’s Upcoming Fixtures

I honestly believe I say this to myself almost every week... but I think we have a really big 6 games coming up. It’s all very tight at the top of the Premier League at the moment, and as Liverpool continue to flatten their inferior opposition with a goal-fuelled fly swat, we’re keeping ourselves very...

Liverpool’s Rollercoaster Ride Ends – Consistency Inevitable

It’s been a very entertaining year for Liverpool fans across all seven corners of the world so far. Scintillating games from October last year with masterful performances against Chelsea, Manchester City, Villareal and Borussia Dortmund, followed by disappointing results against West Ham, Watford, Southampton and Newcastle was indeed a rollercoaster ride last season, as said...

How do Liverpool compare to previous 2nd place finishes?

Liverpool’s form has picked up, the team seem to be gelling, and there’s a lot of belief among the Anfield faithful that something very special could be upon us and our beloved Reds. This I expect. What I didn’t expect, however, was for neutrals and bookies to be quite so on board as well. Last I...

10 out of 15 points, why is it so important to me?

For anyone who follows my Twitter account, (@mrmarksimpson) or coming across me on the EPL podcast, you will have heard me banging on about how important it is for Liverpool to break the season down into 5-game blocks, aiming for 10 points every block. A lot of the time, replies I get are, “Why?...

Reds Off To An Excellent Start

Three wins, a draw, and a loss from the first five opening games in our Premier League campaign has drawn plenty of negative conclusions from a good chunk of Liverpool fans. We kicked the season off with a flying start at the Emirates, where we scored four on Arsenal's own turf, something that’s not been...

Liverpool Supporters – From Doubters, to Non Believers

I understand, you're scarred. A fanbase living in perpetual fear, of the failings from previous managers and previous owners. Unable to let go of all the nearly moments, of all the false dawns. You're sick of word transition, of buying potential. Tired of watching rivals attract some of the finest players in Europe; while...

The Net Spend Conundrum

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...

5 Defining Moments From the Reds’ 2015/16 Premier League Season

Yet another season of the Premier League has just ended with a new champion being crowned (how rare is that!) and Liverpool ending in 8th place (not so rare!). Once Liverpool changed their manager in October, it was always known that this season would not be where we would be competing at the top...

Is It Time To Talk Top Four, Again?

Boom. Boss, tha. Sehr Gut. Etc. That was alright, wasn’t it? A 4-0 win over the Ev, after a 4-3 win against Dortmund. It’s all glossed over a lovely Sunday afternoon kick around against Stoke, as we stuck yet another four goals past the Potters – a team Liverpool have struggled against ever since Tony...
