As a Liverpool FC fan of 18 years i hold my favorite football club in high regard. The amazing history of the greatest football club of england is one to be proud of, but we need something special if the past is to become anything like the future.

This season has so far been terrible for Liverpool (acept maybe the win over Man U), being knocked out the Champions league at the group stages, a poor start to the premiership campiagn that most fans have already given up on and the amount of first team injuries. But i ask why?

We have an amzing first team, filled with some of the best players in the world. but our reserve squad is anything but what a european championship side should have. Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd have great team depth with players of high quality being able to take the place of first pick team members, Torres and Gerrard ahve both been injured so far this season and unable to play certian matches which has let us down immensly. So please Rafa, When the January transfer window opens, grab some decent players.

Saw a bit of the Celtic v. Arsenal game on TV in their Qualifying round for the Champions League. With Liverpool finishing in second in the Premeirship last season, it’s nice that we automatically qualify. Which based on the Standard Liege game I went to see last season is a good thing, as we made it very difficult for ourselves.

The draw for the Carling Cup 2nd round has taken place, its at this stage of the competition where Premier League clubs come in, with the exception of holders Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Fulham and Everton who join the competition in round three. Here is the draw affecting Premier League clubs:

Norwich v Sunderland
Tranmere v Bolton
Leyton Orient v Stoke
Hull v Southend
Portsmouth v Hereford
Crystal Palace v Manchester City
Wolves v Swindon
Gillingham v Blackburn
Blackpool v Wigan
Southampton v Birmingham
West Ham v Millwall
Hartlepool v Burnley
Doncaster v Tottenham

Multi Channel Network has signed a deal to sell advertising on British pay-TV company BSkyB’s network of 150 international websites.

The sites include Sky.com, Football 365, Cricket 365, Liverpoolfc.tv and Arsenal.com.

MCN chief executive Anthony Fitzgerald has told Media the deal, which would see MCN serve advertising to Australian users of those sites, would boost MCN’s online network to almost 200 sites, and increase its overall traffic by 30 to 40 per cent.

“This takes MCN’s total reach from four million unique browsers to five million.”

För en vecka sedan längtade jag bort, jag ville ut och få luft under vingarna.
När jag nu har fått nya intryck och precis kommit hem, känner jag att jag vill smälta dessa intryck innan jag ger mig ut på nya äventyr.

Men idag blir det inte så.
Det blir nya äventyr direkt. U2 på Ullevi.

När jag kommer hem ska jag öppna mina nya stickböcker och sätta mig i soffan och njuta av att vara hemma. Hemma hos mig.

Är man i Liverpool och har luktat på Gerrards svettiga tröja så måste man ju skaffa sig en egen.

it was a bit long since i watched my club (LIVERPOOLFC   m proud in sayin it..) ’s match for full time..wud hav some or other prob or it wud be telecasted in star sports which my lousy cable operator don give always..i decided watever happens i shud watch this match between us nd our arch rivals man u..i switched on the tv for the buildup to the match..the pundits predicted a 2-1 loss to us or a draw..the match started nd all went good till man u were awarded a penalty kick ( which was a bit unfair from the refree but cudn blame him )..which ronaldo took nd scored.. MANU LEAD..then the game was heatin up wen TORRES SCORED THE EQUALISER for us nd was tat a stunning shot or wat..proved he s best striker in the league nd we cud depend on him in tight situations..then came the penalty kick for us..STEVIE G showed he is the best by coverting it into a goal..LIVERPOOL LEADS in halftime..meanwhile i was gettin calls from frens bout stuff nd i cudn take my eyes off the match..i was also messagin my fren sumesh who is a man u fan..messages fly like anythin between us at times of the match..one other fren was askin me where i was gettin espn..i asked him to wait till halftime wen i tuned back nd said him..second half started nd liverpool were dominating..then came a red card for vidic..) he completed the double of gettin red card in both the matches played in this season )..AURELIO converted it to the third goal for us with a brilliant free kick for which edwin van der sar cud do nothin but watch it go in..then it was liverpool all the way..DOSSENA scored the fourth for liverpool nd it was all over..we had completed the double over manu this season.. sumesh was sayin reasons for the loss nd the fact tat they are leading by the points in the table..but all that didn matter..we were better one on one with united.. we rocked.. all hail liverpoolfc.. YNWA!!

EPL. What are the words that come to your mind. “Physical”, “fast-paced”, “quick counter-attacks”, “stamina”, “strength”.

It’s all-out action style has resulted in it being the most watched soccer league in the world. At the same time, it is also the most challenging league. Foreign managers are often shocked at the number of matches teams have to play every season, and players often face fatigue.

In comes the squad-rotation policy. It has to take place. With big teams challenging for 3-4 trophies, u don’t expect the “star players” to play in every game. People say Gerrard & Torres win games, but the old adage stays true in modern soccer – “Good players win games, good teams win leagues”. If u have a thin squad, like what Arsenal is currently facing with lots of players out & injured, u’re going to suffer. Teams must have depth in every department: defence, midfield, attack.

That is what Benitez is trying to build here. He believes in hard work, teamwork and a winning mindset. “Not the best leg, but the right leg that fits the table”, often quoted in papers. Hence, he is building the team slowly, adding strength to all departments but not breaking the bank for it. Average players come in to provide competition and provide depth. As we progress, these players are sold and good players are brought-in to enhance the squad. When we’re constantly challenging for titles, star-players will be attracted to us and we’ll also then have the cash to splurge a bit every season on 1 or 2.

Hence, do not expect twenty-million spendings every season. We are not Chelsea nor Man city. Benitez has already done a very good job, with the main spine formed. Reina, Carra, Mash, Gerrard, Torres. All indispensible and world-class. For now, let’s be patient & give Benitez our support.

To Hicks and the other guy, either believe in Benitez or get lost. U have done enough damage to the club’s reputation.

In Benitez, I trust.

Steven Gerrard,the best mid fielder alive,liverpool no 8,the face of liverpool football club,the best player in the centre mid field position,100+ goals for liverpool first team,a match winner, a captain who could inspire his team even wen they are down..a player of every manager’s liking,i bet every manager would want a player like him in their team,committed to liverpool nd decided to play for his only club till the end..a true red, a legend at liverpool nd england..(the way steve Mcmahon describes gerrard in the match previews nd reviews is jus too good nd can be watched all day )..the precise crosses, the long balls nd the hard hit goals from gerrard are a fan s delight..his trophy chest has everythin except the premier league nd he s hungry as ever to get it back to anfield this season, 10 years nd still running, he ll never stop..an absolute delight to watch him play nd i wish he plays a lot more years nd thrill the fans wit his football..

Well this guy really played his whole career guessing his correct position. Sometime right-midfield, sometimes centre-midfielder or sometimes center-forward (which propably was his best positon) Anthony Le Tallec played just remarkable game in his liverpool career and that was in the Quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League against the mighty Juventus. He played the perfectly weighted ball to our little genius Luis Garcia and then rest is history. Best of luck for the lad on his new adventure.

Hi guys,

My name is Nitesh Pednekar. I am an absolute fanatic of Liverpool Football Club over a decade now. I have followed their ups and downs in their great sporting history. I never miss any news related to the club in general and keep up-to-date with the latest news on them whenever i get time from my busy schedule.

In this blog, i’ll post all the latest news from today and will regularly update important information on the Liverpool insiders. I hope i fulfill the needs of a regular visitor like me.

Note : Most of the sources will be mentioned along with their stories.

Keep reading and keep blogging……

Steven Gerrard is the captain of Liverpool and England at the moment. Does this distract him of his Liverpool duties and form? Does the seemingly common advent of international breaks benefit or damage liverpool FC? Lets analyze it closely.

Liverpool started the season extremely well. The 1st international break came a fantastic 6-0 win against Derby and a ‘win’ against Chelsea. Subsequently, Xabi Alonso and Daniel Agger suffered the curse of the metatarsal playing for their country while Stevie G suffered a fractured toe. Gerrard was desperate to play for England and took an injection to kill the pain. In his old age, Gerrard will feel the effects of that decision one day. 

With the loss of Alonso and Agger, its fair to say Liverpool lost 2 extremely influential players. Alonso has fantastic passing and vision and we simply do not have sufficient cover at central defence, a weakness noted at the start of the season. These absentees certainly damaged Liverpool. What followed were unconvincing, stuttering displays. We also lost Gerrard for a few games to allow him to recover from the fracrute. To say he his a different player since then is an understatement…Gerrard’s form suffered, when his form suffers Liverpools form suffers.

Slowly, Gerrard has got back into form and so have Liverpool. The loss of Alonso and Agger is still glaringly obvious. Still unbeaten in the league and approaching a crucial part of the season. Liverpool can only be happy where they find themselves considering the circumstances. Soon, a full strength squad will be available to launch themselves to the top of the table.

So has the international breaks damaged or benefited Liverpool? The answer is both. While the 1st break brought injuries, since then it has allowed these injured players a window to recover without losing too many games. Case in point, Yossi Benayoun and Fernando Torres. So like everything in football, it balances itself out during the course of a season.

Liverpool zal de plannen voor een nieuw stadion nog voor het einde van deze maand bij de gemeente van Liverpool indienen. Dit maakte algemeen directeur Rick Parry maandaochtend bekend aan de Engelse media.

De Engelse topclub wil een stadion met een capaciteit van zestigduizend zitplaatsen laten bouwen, dat eventueel met twintigduizend zitplaatsen kan worden uitgebreid. De totale kostenpost wordt op een slordige vierhonderd miljoen euro geraamd. Het team van coach Rafael Benítez zou al bij de start van het seizoen 2009/2010 kunnen aantreden in het stadion

Mocht Liverpool toestemming krijgen, dan zal de bouw van de nieuwe thuishaven over enkele maanden van start gaan. Het stadion moet vlak naast waar nu Anfield Road ligt, gebouwd worden. Het is nog onduidelijk hoe het stadion zal heten, maar de kans is groot dat enkele multionationals hun naam aan het complex willen verbinden.

“We weten al in grote lijnen hoe het stadion eruit komt te zien”, vertelde een trotse Parry. “In de komende weken zullen de plannen wereldkundig worden gemaakt. Ik weet zeker dat de supporters met het nieuwe stadion weg zullen lopen. Ik ben er daar een van.”

“Of we het stadion zullen uitbreiden is afhankelijk van de vraag naar seizoenskaarten, maar hangt ook af van de inkomsten die we genereren met andere activiteiten in het stadion. Het moet gewoonweg groter worden dan Anfield Road.”

“De nieuwe eigenaren waren bezorgd dat het stadion van Liverpool op de lange termijn te klein zou worden. Het is nooit een geheim geweest dat zij een nieuw stadion wilden bouwen. Of Liverpool hierdoor in het rood komt te staan? Dit is een investering die ongetwijfeld geld zal opleveren en waaruit vervolgens het team zal worden versterkt”, concludeerde Parry

Liverpool have made an offer for Ryan Babel, according to the Ajax forward’s agent.

The youngster impressed for Holland at the recent European Under 21 Championship.
