Liverpool FC 2008/09 End of Season Review

Another season of football has come to an end, and what a season it has been. Liverpool Football Club provided its fans with something we have been waiting for for a long time, a title challenge, and the 2008/2009 season has been one which has seen immense progress in the league. Like last season, we [...]

This Is Anfield – Liverpool v Wigan

Yesterday, I went to my second successive Liverpool home league game. The opponents were Wigan, who earned a draw at Anfield last year after Titus Bramble struck a remarkable late equaliser. Steve Bruce is the current manager of Wigan Athletic, and he is someone who Rafa Benitez has struggled to attain results against in recent [...]

The Sign of Champions?

A lot of people say it is the sign of champions to win a game of football whilst playing poorly. Liverpool have done this in their first two opening games of the new Premier League season against Sunderland and Middlesbrough. In Liverpool’s case, judging on the performances of our last three games, which have been [...]

Liverpool FC 2007/08 End of Season Review

Euro 2008 is over, I have finished my exams and I am back “home” in Liverpool, so what better time is there to review Liverpool’s 2007/2008 season? Well over a month has passed since the end of the season, and like many of its predecessors, the 2007/2008 season passed in a flash. We started the [...]

Champions League Semi Final 2008 – First Leg – Liverpool v Chelsea

I still feel physically sick about last night’s result. Literally, the feeling in my stomach right now is horrible. I suppose that is football though. It was vital last night for us to keep a clean sheet, and get one or two goals. All was going to plan, until a moment of madness in the [...]

Champions League Quarter Final 2008 – Second Leg – Liverpool v Arsenal

What a game! Both my heart and my stomach were in my mouth for the majority of last night’s Second Leg Quarter Final game in the Champions League between Liverpool and Arsenal. Yet again the atmosphere last night at Anfield was superb. The crowd act like a 12th man to the Liverpool team, by invigorating [...]

A Rematch of 1965 – Part Two

For exactly three weeks, I have been buzzing from when Liverpool beat Inter Milan 2-0 at Anfield in the Champions League. However, the job was not done as we had to travel to the San Siro, perhaps one of the most daunting stadiums for opposition teams, and finish the job in Italy. If you read [...]

A Rematch of 1965

It happened some twenty four years before I was a born, but it is still commonly talked about in and around Liverpool to this day. In 1965 Inter Milan secured a somewhat dubious aggregate victory over Liverpool FC in the semi final of the European Cup, which they then went onto win. In the first [...]
