STEVE McMANAMAN is 45 today. A Scouser who made 364 appearances and scored 66 goals in the red of Liverpool FC. A player who joined the club as a teenage Evertonian and left having won two cups – The FA Cup in 1992 and The League Cup in 1995. In that final in 1995,...
AHEAD of Liverpool’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, we spoke to Spurs blogger CHRIS MILLER to get the latest on the Reds’ upcoming opponents. Firstly, Spurs come into this game having not lost since early December, what have you made of the...
IT has been a grim few weeks to be a Red. January and February are dark, unforgiving winter months at the best of times and Liverpool’s barren run has only added to the seemingly never-ending gloom. So to cheer us up, or should I say to offer some perspective, I’m...
OCTOBER 17, 2010. What a time to be alive. Mediocre Liverpool managed by a mediocre manager resided in the relegation zone — floundering in an unthinkable 19th place in the Premier League with just six points won from eight games played. A depressing figure of...

THERE are days when football makes you wonder why you bother with it all. The pain, the fury, the anguish, the sheer and utter, sickening disappointment. Liverpool have produced several of those days of late. In football, there are blips and there are crises. While...
IF you gave me a choice, I’d rather that Liverpool had made it through to the final of the League Cup at Southampton’s expense. If I was allowed to change scorelines, then we’d be in the hat for the fifth Round of the FA Cup, having overcome Wolves last week. In a...
THAT was quite the month, wasn’t it? The semblance of hope dashed seemingly before our eyes and telling ourselves things we’ve repeated to ourselves many times before. *Insert league winners name* were just too good, weren’t they? We just didn’t have enough in the...
THAT came as a surprise, didn’t it? Liverpool are actually good at football and not quite as bad as everyone thought. Who knew? I quite enjoyed last night. Good atmosphere, fight, we played well and a penalty save is always good fun. There was one thing I didn’t like...
