Post-Match Thoughts

By: Ed | Comments 3 Comments

If Liverpool weren’t so damned consistent in European competition this would be maddening. Fans have seen this year after year–disappointing results in league followed closely by ecstasy in the Champions League, particularly in the round of 16. In the magical run of 2005, losses to Birmingham City (2-0) and Newcastle (1-0) directly preceded twin 3-1 [...]

Liverpool 1, Real Madrid 0

By: Ed | Comments 3 Comments

Another famous result for the Reds in Europe. Yossi Benayoun’s header in the 82nd minute give Liverpool a distinct advantage heading back to Anfield for the second leg. Obviously it will still be a massive test, but 1-up returning home is fantastic. From what I saw, Rafa used his tried-and-true European strategy-maintain possession when possible, [...]

Real Madrid v. Liverpool Preview

By: Ed | Comments 2 Comments

The biggest fixture in the history of the world ever, or at least on Wednesday night in Madrid, pits the surging Real Madrid against the surging over their last two European matches Liverpool. Granted those matches took place two months ago, but Liverpool looked good. There’s little to be said about this match that hasn’t [...]

Club crest, Recovery, and the Return of the Champions League

By: Ed | Comments No Comments

We’ve made contact with Liverpool about use of the club crest for the site. And by made contact I mean sent an email. They haven’t responded, but hopefully they’ll follow Hull’s lead and splash the big-time cash. Or just let us use a picture.
Elsewhere, the road back from the potential season-killing draw on Sunday is [...]

Match Recap: Liverpool 1, City 1, United 18?

By: Ed | Comments 5 Comments

A match that we obviously had to win but simply couldn’t find the goals. So often this season it’s been a question of where the goals would come from, and too frequently there hasn’t been an answer. With a 7-point gap at the top now, it’s looking more and more that United actually are uncatchable. [...]

Liveblog: Liverpool vs. Manchester City

By: Ed | Comments 1 Comment

FULL TIME 1-1. Another 2 points dropped at home…7 adrift of the top…no comment on the strength of our title challenge at this point. Is it too early to start drinking?

On Hillsborough

By: Ed | Comments 1 Comment

And now this. UEFA today denied the opportunity to acknowledge a significant date in Liverpool history, stating that they would not rule out the possibility of scheduling a CL quarterfinal on April 15th, the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 people lost their lives.
Honestly, I haven’t been a Liverpool supporter all that [...]

Midweek Bipolar Check-in

By: Ed | Comments No Comments

Well that settles it. Manchester United don’t look likely to give away too many points the rest of the way, they’ve got a now-notorious prude in goal, and Rooney is back from injury. They’re simply too good, too consistent, too powerful. Even Carra is accepting defeat. But maybe not so fast!
Sure, that might be the [...]

FA Cup Recaaaah crap

By: Ed | Comments No Comments

An Evertonian-induced weekend off for Liverpool, meaning it’s time for rumors and half-truths.
