Liverpool fans - best in the world? or an accident waiting to happen?

Lets get something straight from the off.  Most of the Liverpool fans I know, who go to the game, enjoy a good laugh and love their club.  They have supported the club since boyhood and have been through all its highs and lows.  They are well behaved and truly believe they are ambassadors for the […]

A footballing lesson for Liverpool, perhaps Manchester United or Chelsea would have better represented England?

AC Milan proved the old saying; form is temporary, class is permanent.  Despite a plucky Liverpool managing to hold the game to 2 - 1 with a combination of hard work and passion, Milan never really got out of second gear and should still have won this game 3 - 0.  The only reason they didn’t was […]

A Successful Season for Chelsea and Manchester United? But what about Liverpool and Arsenal?

And so the FA cup final draws yet another season to an end, and what has it shown us?  Well for a kick off its shown us that the FA cup no longer marks the end of the season, as we still have a little matter of Liverpool v Milan later this week.
The FA cup […]

The Art of Diving - Manchester United and Chelsea

Mourinho has said he would be disappointed if some of the players in tomorrow’s FA cup final were diving or trying to get others red-carded.  Its hard to tell if he’s trying to fire a psychological shot across the bows of Ferguson’s Cristiano Ronaldo or whether he is trying to put pressure on the match […]

Something rotten in the state of Iceland - West Ham United, Sheffield United

The Premier League has tried to head off action from Sheffield United and possibly FIFA by sending out a letter to all 20 current Premiership clubs.  Its main points have been widely circulated, but in summary they are: 

“At no point were West Ham United charged with playing an ineligible player - both (Carlos) Tevez and (Javier) Mascherano were […]

Benitez - the sh*t stick stirrer

Last week Jorge Valdano accused Liverpool’s Champion’s League football of being like shit hanging from a stick.  He said that just because those who are passionate about the club say its a work of art, doesn’t change the fact that in reality its shit hanging from a stick. 
He went still further and claimed that Liverpool’s […]

Feeling sorry for Michael Owen - Newcastle United, Bolton Wanderers

You have to feel sorry for Michael Owen.  First he breaks his metatarsal bone in his foot and misses most of his first season at Newcastle.  Then just after he regains his fitness he damages his knee ligaments during England’s unsuccessful World Cup campaign and misses virtually the whole of his second season.
And now, after […]

Stevie Gerrard - master of the obvious…

Steven Gerrard is perhaps one of the greatest midfielders this country has ever produced, sublimely gifted and Liverpool’s top goal scorer in recent seasons, but perhaps his greatest triumphs will remain on the pitch rather than off pitch, especially after his latest interview over the status of his latest contract deal.
Speaking about the club’s latest […]

Nemo nisi mors… no one except death (will part us)

What is it that draws us to a particular football club?
For some it is no doubt the associated glory of supporting a successful team.  While there are many fans of clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea who go to games and get involved with the club on an intimate level, there are […]

Thats the luck of the draw…

You’ve got to feel sorry for Manchester United.  Here they are, on the brink of wrestling the Premiership title away from a dominant Chelsea, and having one of the brightest young squads in Europe, yet all the media attention from now through to the Champions League final, and possibly beyond (if they win it again) […]
