Raheem Sterling split the opinion of an already divided fan base. The divide started at the beginning of the 2014/2015 season. The belief we had in 2013/2014 was taken apart, piece by piece, as the stars of that team left, one by one, and the loss of identity happened at an alarming rate. Brendan...
So the talented but petulant Sterling and his agent are gone from the building. We have in exchange a whopping £49 million and one less trouble. But this is not the time to sleep and gloat. Aside making sure the funds are well spent to improve the team it is time to ensure that...

With the current occupant of the Liverpool number 31 number looking to be on their way out of the club it looks as though the club have already identified a player to take it over: Kevin Volland.
Someone at Liverpool has been playing Football Manager. Not long after the announcement of a certain Roberto Firmino...
The Redmen TV, in collaboration with Vauxhall Football present Liverpool FC players Phillippe Coutinho, Raheem Sterling, Jordon Ibe and Lazar Markovic facing up to the RMTV skill challenge:
“Dizzy Pens!”
Each player must spin around 15 times before attempting to score past Liverpool Fan and Redmen TV presenter Chris. Sounds easy right? Right?
