Liverpool Impersonations
There are no words .. these are best impressions I've seen in a long time — mind you the current crop of TV impressionists are pretty dire so that's not saying much.
Never in My Wildest Dreams
Amazingly, incredibly, Liverpool are the champions of Europe having come back from 3-0 down at half time to beat AC Milan 3-2 on penalties. This is something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime, yet alone in the first year under a new a manager who clearly has a lot of rebuilding to do following [...]
Kenyon and Abramovich toast the Gerrard deal
Originally posted on the official Liverpool Football Club forums on June 29 2004, by ‘Joshytoohotty’.
As news of a 3pm press conference seeps through the bald, nausiating head of Peter Kenyon,
he then begings the celebrations. Giving his new best bud Roman a call, the two
settle down to celebrate [...]
In Rafa we Trust
Before the start of the 2003/4 season Houllier completed the signing of Harry Kewell from Leeds; hailed as ‘the final piece in the jigsaw’ by pundits and supporters alike, Houllier’s Liverpool were tipped for greatness .. Liverpool scraped into fourth place finishing thirty points behind unbeaten [...]
Down. And Out?
I spoke to him three weeks ago and it was clear he was not happy. He was down and wants success
Not the words I like to hear coming from Rick Parry when he’s talking about the best midfielder in Europe. For all Houllier’s claims that he has left this club with a footballing legacy that will come [...]
Rafa on his way?
Rick Parry claims Liverpool will be ready to unveil a new manager within two weeks, maybe it’s just co-incidence but Rafa Benitez would have to give 2 weeks written notice to leave his contract at Valencia should he be on his way to Anfield…
Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd
Liverpool outplayed Man Utd for 75 minutes at Anfield today. Unfortunately in the 15 minutes where we had a bit of a slump Man Utd scored two goals to Liverpool’s one. Once again Emile Heskey was guilty of missing easy chances to add to our goals tally. I wonder what dirt Emile has on Houllier [...]
Liverpool – Olimpia Ljubjana
The big day! Leaving work at midday to start the 240 mile trip up to Liverpool. We made pretty good time most of the way. At one point the motorway was closed to a single lane, when we got to the point where the “accident” had been we found that there was nothing; no accident, no mess, no [...]
Arsenal 1-2 Liverpool
Liverpool lost 2-1 to Arsenal despite playing very well for most of the first half – Arsenal aren’t top of the league without reason, but we really should be turning performances like this into 3 points. Two weeks running now Houllier has bemoaned ‘poor finishing’. Defensively we have major [...]
