Many football fans probably don't even know their club has a Reserves team. Many of those who do know, don't really care. Reserve teams are notorious for featuring forgotten players who stopped playing for the first-team a decade ago and giving injured players an opportunity to gain match-practice during recuperation. Not anymore. At last night's ( Read more... )

Liverpool are constantly accused of lacking creativity, playing boring football, and focusing on tactical rigidity to grind out marginal results. Fact is, we have scored more goals than any other English team in all competitions this season. At 116 goals, we have five goals more than Arsenal and twelve goals more than Manchester United. We are also ( Read more... )

Thanks to Manchester United's victory over Barcelona in the European Cup Semifinal, natural order has been restored to the footballing universe. For the first time since 1985, when English clubs were banned from European football for ten years (this was later rescinded to five years and an extra year for Liverpool), England leads the UEFA Country ( Read more... )

We've done it! The Reds are going back to the Championship after three miserable seasons in English football's Third Division (but now known as League One)! And what better way to exorcise the ghosts of last season's playoff disaster against Yeovil Town than to defeat the same team to secure an automatic promotion. It wasn't completely in their ( Read more... )

What is extremely freaky however, is how ever since last week's 1st leg I have been replaying a dream in which Liverpool would go 2-nil down by half-time, after which Torres and Babel (in that order) would score in the 2nd half to equalise, and that we would also score in the ( Read more... )

Paul Scholes' scorcher has guaranteed the first-ever all-English European Cup final in Moscow on May 21. Can we join them?!

Ronaldo missed a 2nd minute penalty and Barcelona maintained the vast majority of possession. That pretty much sums up the match. Barcelona and Chelski will go into the 2nd leg with the advantage, but the 1st leg results were so tight that both Liverpool and Manchester will fancy their chances of nicking an only goal to send them through. A lotta ( Read more... )

That was a shit ending. Riise should've cleared the ball with his foot, even if it was with his weak right one. I doubt we can score the necessary away goal next week which means it's going to be Chelski in the final. At least tomorrow's game will be more interesting, and less stressful to watch. It's one of the few times I want Manchester United ( Read more... )
