Get that notepad ready...According to the BBC and the likes of
@GuilemBalague Liverpool have just appointed Brendan Rodgers as their new manager after he agreed
to sign a three year contract.
It's been a long list of candidates but has been clear in the last couple of days that it was
between Wigan's Roberto Martinez and Swansea's Brendan Rodgers.
Remembering the 39 football fans that lost their lives at Heysel on 29/05/2985.
May they rest in peace.
It is a sad day in Liverpool's history.
Our thoughts are with the families and close ones of the victims and of course with our friends
Juventus.
The Carling Cup win was the highlight...It was a very mixed
season for Liverpool that ended in the departure of Kenny Dalglish. It started well but as the
league campaign continued, things began to get difficult for the Reds. Two cup finals and one cup
win gave the lads some glory but an 8th place finish in the league provided a dark shadow over the
season.
You will always be a legend...Liverpool Football Club have today
announced that Kenny Dalglish will no longer be the manager at Anfield next season. The Liverpool
legend won the Carling Cup and sent the Reds to an FA Cup final but it was his league position that
appeared to create the problem.
Andy Carroll tries a trick...We all hoped that the last game of
the season would bring us some joy, but, as predicted, it didn't. A slightly changed Liverpool XI
couldn't muster much of a performance for the final game and it was only Andy Carroll that really
threatened the Swansea keeper.
Tara a bit Maxi!...Liverpool's last game of the 2011/2012 season
sends them into Wales for an away tie with promoted Swansea. The Swans have been a breath of fresh
air to the Premier League and have established themselves as a tougher nut to crack than some may
think.
Injuries for Swansea mean they are without Agustien and Bodde but manager Brendan Rodgers has not
other worries.
Henderson celebrates...Liverpool ended their last league game at
Anfield this season in style with a 4-1 win over Chelsea. They say revenge is a dish best served
cold but the Reds were on fire yesterday as they redeemed themselves after Chelsea won in the
Cup.
Chelsea manager di Matteo started a changed side due to the fact his team face Bayern Munich in a
few days time for the Champions League final.
Gerrard models Tuesday night's shirt...Chelsea travel up to
Anfield on Tuesday night after their victory over the Reds in the FA Cup Final at Wembley. It's a
tough pill to swallow for the Liverpool after an Andy Carroll header nearly put them back into the
match but it wasn't to be.
Liverpool have no new injury worries for this one and Chelsea are also still without defenders Luiz
and Cahill.
Carroll celebrates...Well, it's the day after the FA Cup final,
the beer has been washed out of my hair and I'm pretty sure I've pulled my side after celebrating a
none existent Andy Carroll goal but you can't win them all can you? A poor start from Liverpool
allowed Chelsea to take advantage and it was far too easy for Di Matteo's side to score.
Up for grabs...As if you didn't know there's an FA Cup Final on
Saturday and Liverpool are only bloody well in it! After successfully knocking out Everton in the
semi finals the Reds are ready to square up against Di Matteo's Chelsea at Wembley.
Liverpool's league form this season has been pretty terrible and so for most fans the past few
weeks have just consisted of Wembley dreams.
Unlucky Skrtel...Fulham won at Anfield on Tuesday night for the
first time ever. That's right, they've never won at Anfield and that in a nutshell seems to sum up
Liverpool's league form this season, especially at home. Things were made worse because it was a
Martin Skrtel own goal that won it for Fulham.
Stewart Downing; Ventriloquist extraordinaire...Liverpool welcome
Fulham to Anfield on Tuesday evening for their last league game before the massive FA Cup final at
the weekend. The Reds recorded a confident win over Norwich on Saturday thanks to a glorious Luis
Suarez hat-trick and here's hoping that sort of result is repeated.
Suarez celebrates...Liverpool put three past Norwich at Carew
Road on Saturday as the Reds got themselves back to winning ways in the League. A stunning
hat-trick from Luis Suarez sent the away fans wild and with little left to play for in the League
other than perhaps topping Everton, it was an exciting and refreshing 90 minutes from the Reds.
Kuyt in action last year against Norwich...Liverpool face the
Canaries on Saturday as they look to end April on a high. Norwich have lost their last two league
games but they have been a breath of fresh air since they were promoted from the Championship last
year.
Injuries for Liverpool mean they are without Charlie Adam but captain Steven Gerrard was back in
training and is expected to be available for Saturday's game.
Roy was all smiles on Sunday...Liverpool fell to yet another
defeat in the league on Sunday as Roy Hodgson's side got the better of the Reds. Liverpool had
chances aplenty and maintained pressure throughout the 90 minutes but they just couldn't find the
back of the net.
Liverpool started without captain Steven Gerrard who was left out as a precaution according to
manager Kenny Dalglish.
