Blackburn and Liverpool’s inability to score took all the fun out of Boxing Day, and then my own personal crowded Christmas fixture schedule took all the fun out of me. But the sickness has mostly left and now I must deal with Crouch to Newcastle and David Villa to Liverpool.
Previously, I had dismissed the Crouch […]

Lord love liverpoolfc.tv, which I heard was voted Britain’s best sports Web site of 2006 or something. the e-season ticket is brilliant, but the rah-rah mood goes from borderline embarassing to outright […]

At work, I’m known as “the soccer guy,” since it’s a fairly small office and everyone knows everyone else’s business, for the most part. One criticism some of the hard-headed types like to level against me is that “soccer” is a sport for sissies. It’s never bugged me because I know better.
However, I hope my […]

The aftershocks from a hearty Festivus celebration Friday night kept me from getting up in time to see the Charlton match – not a proud admission, but true – so let’s dig into Rafa’s decision to field a mostly full-strength lineup against Arsenal tonight in the Carling Cup.
Hey, why not? It’s always nice to win, […]

OK, that’s it. Let’s go. Liverpool ends up with the “nightmare” draw in the round of 16, but there’s no use complaining … or saying anything, really, about how it turned out.
Man U. v. Lille
Chelsea v. Porto
Arsenal v. PSV
Well, someone from England has to take down a giant. It might as well be Liverpool. More […]

Who’s up right now? It’s 4:40 a.m. in Milwaukee and, after working the night shift at the paper, I’m staying up a few extra hours to watch the Champions League draw live, er, sort of on this here Internets. I’ve got my Liverpool playlist on iTunes all set. It’s nothing but “Fields of Anfield Road,” […]
Jamie Carragher, professional comedian
By: Jim | No Comments
Liverpool unveiled an about 40-minute podcast at the team Web site looking back on 2006, and, to my surprise at least, the jewel of the piece is Jamie Carragher’s End of Year Awards.
You can download the podcast by following this link here.
After going through some of the standard stuff: Player of the Year, Goal of […]

Before getting sidetracked by that Crouch to Newcastle rumor, I wanted to express my deep and sincere hope the Champions League draw this week pairs Liverpool with Celtic in the round of 16. I can think of no more fun European matchup for the Reds right now.
The cynics among you should not just consider it […]
Crouch a Geordie?! Wha’?!?!

I wanted to start with an outstretched hand of friendship toward Scotland in the Champions League, but this little nugget from that pillar of outstanding sports journalism, South Tyneside Today, almost knocked me over.
Apparently, Glenn Roeder fancies himself the leader of the proper home for The Nicest Man In All of Football™, Peter Crouch. Roeder […]

A commenter on the post about Carragher’s goal got me thinking when he asked what great targets there are for Liverpool in the Janurary transfer window. After all, what good is a United Arab Emirate full of cash if there’s nothing worthwhile to spend it on?
I posted a brief reply in a comment to that […]
