West Ham 1 Liverpool 2 – The Reds Edge Closer

Many pundits often say that to be a successful team you have to acquire the acumen or the nous to win ugly. In other words, to be able to win a match even though you are not playing particularly well. The sign of true champions is to be able to grind out a result when […]

Liverpool March On In March

After the victory against Swansea we faced some very testing away fixtures in March – three in succession as it happens. The first one at Southampton had “difficult”and “banana skin” stamped right through it, but Liverpool more than acquitted themselves when they came away with a relatively comfortable 3-0 victory. I say “relatively” as Southampton […]

Liverpool 4, Swansea 3 – Never A Dull Moment!!

Watching Liverpool this season has been both a joy and, at times, a very nerve-wracking experience. This encounter ticked both those boxes. Swansea for their part were magnificent and to many observers, were deserving of at least a point. But, this is the “new” Liverpool. A side packed not only with quality, style and goals, […]

On This Day – February 21st 2007

Rafa Benitez took Liverpool to another European Cup Final in 2007. On the way to that final we went to the Nou Camp, Barcelona on 21st February and triumphed by 2-1.

On This Day – 20th February 1991

I remember the day so well. Two main events that day. One on the field and one off it. The on-field event was an epic and one of, if not the best, Merseyside derby. Liverpool and Everton locked horns for the third game in a row when they met each other at Goodison Park in […]

Arsenal 2, Liverpool 1 – Oh What A Webb You Weave Howard!!

Unlike last week after Liverpool’s 5-1 demolition of Arsenal, quality of football and goals wasn’t the main talking point after the game. Yet again, the talking point was Howard Webb, the incredibly inefficient referee who somehow has booked himself a flight to Brazil for this summers World Cup. The game itself was full of incident […]

Liverpool 5, Arsenal 1

Take a good look at that scoreline because they don’t get much better than that. In fact, as good as that scoreline is, 5-1 actually flattered the absolutely outclassed Gunners. Four goals, two other chances and Suarez hitting the woodwork all in the first 19 minutes put all Liverpool fans into dreamland and all Arsenal […]

The Season So Far – Derby Day Delight In January

The highlight of our six games in January was of course our 4-0 demolition job over our neighbours across Stanley Park, Everton on the 28th January. The way in which we took them apart was incredible in so far as they had only conceded 11 goals on their travels all season and, to many, were […]

The Season So Far – Mixed Fortunes In December

The busy month of December saw us feature in seven Premier League games, four of which resulted in emphatic victories while the other three ended in defeat. Let us consider the three defeats first. Two of them we lost with heads held high and with many positives to take from those games. The other defeat […]

Tottenham 0, Liverpool 5 – 15th December 2013

Well, it doesn’t get much better than that does it? From someone who was fortunate enough to be in The Kop for the famous 7-0 victory against the Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa revitalised Tottenham back in 1978, the victory yesterday was up there with the 7-0 in terms of Liverpool’s overall performance and dominance.
