Crystal Palace v Liverpool – 3 Well Earned Points
Crystal Palace v Liverpool Another great win last night for Liverpool at a very tricky venue. Crystal Palace v Liverpool away is always a potential banana skin. To be fair though to Crystal Palace, maybe the label of ‘banana skin’ is not very fitting nowadays. In previous seasons Palace have often been widely tipped as […]
On This Day 10th August 1977
Some of the posts on the theme of “On This Day” may have seemed quite tame to some. I think every Liverpool supporter will agree that this is not the case with regard to on this day 10th August 1977. I would be amazed if there are any Liverpool fans wondering what did happen on […]
On This Day 5th August 2009
On this day 5th August 2009 was a very sad day indeed. Well, it was for me and many other Liverpool fans no doubt. It was on this day that fans favourite, Xabi Alonso, left us to join Real Madrid. He was indeed a big loss for us and a great signing for Real Madrid. […]
Billy Liddell
A very significant day in the history of Liverpool on this day 27th July 1938. This was the day we signed Billy Liddell from Lochgelly Violet for £200. No missing zeros. It was actually £200. On that day he walked into Anfield a 16 year old boy. By the time he left the club he […]
On This Day 25th July
With the squad we currently have, several fans are offering their opinions as to whether or not we need another striker. Also, of the strikers we currently have – which ones to keep. Give Sturridge a chance maybe? What about Solanke? Danny Ings has fought back well from serious injury – does he deserve some […]
Neil Ruddock
So far this transfer window has appeared to be a good one. Some really astute, quality signings it would seem. Finally we seem to be assembling a squad of real quality and real depth. Add having a great manager into the mix and committed owners (well done FSG for backing Jurgen Klopp), a brilliant stadium, […]
Champions League Qualifier
Maybe not what you would expect for the reigning European Champions to have to do. But, even though Liverpool won the trophy less than two months earlier, we had to play a Champions League qualifier – 2nd leg – on this day 19th July 2005. Certainly a far cry from the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul.

These transfers don’t happen that often. However they are not as rare as transfers between Liverpool and Manchester United. Even so, a transfer between us and Everton are still a huge talking point. For instance we sold Peter Beardsley to Everton well before his sell-buy date. That move must go down as one of Graeme […]
Joint Managers
It’s not very often that you will a club engage two managers in the roles of joint managers. It is indeed a very rare occurrence. As it happens Liverpool embarked on such a revolutionary management structure. On this day 16th July 1998 we appointed Gerard Houllier to become one of our joint managers alongside current […]
Stewart Downing
Kenny Dalglish certainly had his spending head on in 2011. After the departure of Fernando Torres in January 2011, Dalglish went on a bit of a spending spree. Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez arrived in January 2011 for combined fees of about £57m. All paid for by the sale of Torres, bar £7m. King Kenny […]
