Searching the interwebz for porn football shirts can sometimes bring up some very interesting
results. Type "Liverpool 2010/2011 kits" into your search engine and you're bound to get all kinds
of crazy results. Whilst some boards have been discussing the shirts for months now, it looks like
we may well have a final design (or [.
Admit it: you've always wanted to be a world-class footballer. Playing in the Champions League,
winning league titles, driving £100,000 Range Rovers and having your pick of WAG's is just the tip
of the iceberg when it comes to the life some world-class footballers lead. But instead of the
WAG's and trophies, you're saddled with [.
Benfica today in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals is almost certainly the most
important story of the day, but that doesn't mean stories about the new Liverpool kit should be
kicked to the curb! The club unveiled their new kit for the upcoming season yesterday with a new
look and sponsor for the [.
The articles about Rafa being offered money to quit are now gathering pace; and so far the club and
Benitez have kept quiet on the situation, however there is an image that should be blown up outside
the house of a certain Mr Purslow. Rafa is expected to leave Anfield sooner rather than later; but
contrary [.
Level on goals with just under 25 minutes to go in the match on Sunday, Rafa Benitez decided to go
against the grain and institute a change to his lineup that, truthfully, had to be pre-planned. Why
else would he have called time to Fernando Torres' day with the match hanging in the balance? Even
[..
And Just when we all thought we were starting to see the best of Alberto. Sure, it's not a injury
knock, so that's a good sign, but not having Aqua in the lineup tomorrow will still hurt. Rafa
confirmed that he's a doubt for the Lille match after picking up a virus earlier this week. "He

The sale of LFC to NESV will go ahead, but Tom Hicks is claiming a massive damages suit, saying
this is the wrong thing for the fans.

Fat headed Sam Allardyce claimed the Anfield crowd influenced decisions from the ref in the tie
between Liverpool and Blackburn at the weekend; yet he clearly forgot to mention this shove from
Nzonzi. This should have been a straight red; yet he remained on the pitch; although fat Sam still
come out with this gem: They [.
I've never been one to believe half the tripe in the Daily Mail but if today's interview with
Fernando Torres is to be believed, then maybe his frustration with the club didn't start recently
with the run of bad form and inability to keep up with the race for fourth. Torres, who already
spoke of his [.
Liverpool Football Club have today finally announced the signing of Maxi Rodriguez on a free
transfer from Atletico Madrid, who has signed a 3 and half year contract at Anfield. The worst kept
secret of the transfer window has finally been made public, the Argentine will wear number 17.
Liverpool have been linked with the likes of Marouane Chamakh, Kenwyne Jones & Emile Heskey during
this transfer window; but who do you think Rafa Benitez should try and sign? We'd all like to see
David Villa lining up alongside Torres; but realistically it's never going to happen. Who do you
think should be our number 1 [.
After winning the FWA Footballer of the Year award last season and setting a new high mark for
goals in a season, Steven Gerrard seemed destined to make the next step after leading Liverpool to
a second place finish in the league a year ago. But with the expectations for the 2009/10 season
came a [..
Quite possibly one of the funniest things I've seen recently, Liverpoolfc.tv put Dirk Kuyt to the
task of associating a Scouse word with every letter of the alphabet. The idea sounds funny even
before you have an opportunity to listen to Kuyt's responses. The Dutch winger has been at the club
since 2006, so he's [.
With Emiliano Insua on his way to Fiorentina & Fabio Aurelio being released, Liverpool are still in
search of a left back for the new season. Luke Young turned down a move to Anfield, saying he
didn't want to move his family, so who else do you think Liverpool should be in for? Fabio Aurelio
[...]
Liverpool v Chelsea is a fairly new rivalry; and is behind the likes of Man Utd and Everton in the
pecking order, but the desire to outdo each other is still as strong. Denise from The Chelsea Blog
has answered a few questions about the upcoming season, Yossi Benayoun and which player she'd love
to [.
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of 30 year Danish Midfielder Christian Poulsen from Juventus.
Liverpool were after a replacement for Javier Mascherano who is likely to leave the club, and Roy
Hodgson sees the tough Danish man as the ideal replacement. Capped 77 times for his country,
Poulsen has signed for £4.
Seeing as Chelsea are coming to Anfield, it is only fair we show this picture of Frank Lampard
as a cheerleader.

Far be it for me to know how Steven Gerrard really feels but if today's reports are true, the
skipper is being considered in tomorrow night's league match against Wolves. The Guardian, amongst
others, is reporting that Gerrard returned the Melwood over the weekend to train. Benitez even went
as far as to hint that [.
Milan Jovanovic has reportedly signed a pre contract agreement with Liverpool meaning he come to
Anfield in the summer on a free transfer; but for those of you who haven't seen him in action
before, watch these videos of him scoring for Standard Liege to see what Rafa has added to his
strikeforce. Hopefully this won't [.
It may have been obvious prior to Saturday's emphatic derby victory over Everton, but now it's
really official: Liverpool are riding a wave of momentum not seen since last season's dramatic run
at Manchester United and the Premier League title. And it couldn't come at a better time. Whilst it
would be easy to bang on [.
Barring a drastic run of results for everyone at the top of the table, the 2009/10 season will be
looked back on by Liverpool fans as a disaster. Come the end of the season, most fans will be
saying "if only..." to a number of a scenarios as Liverpool push for 4th place, having challenged
[...]
Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Anfield, with Fernando Torres and Stevie Gerrard getting the
goals for Rafa's side. Torres returned to the starting line up to score his 13th goal of the
season, tapping in a Maxi Rodriguez cross after Lucas played a pass through to Torres which was cut
out. Keith Andrews bagged a penalty [.
Liverpool beat Portsmouth 4-1 at Anfield, with Torres scoring twice and Alberto Aquilani getting
his first goal for Liverpool. The Reds were 3-0 up at half time, and Anfield were expecting the
final score to be about 8 or 9 nil (and it could have been) but Liverpool only found the net once
more in the [.
United to continue to complain about Gerrard's escape from the FA's wrath. Whilst The Guardian
doesn't have any comments from United directly (I would've been shocked if they did), they did hear
that, internally, the club is up in arms over it. Here's the report via The Guardian: Steven
Gerrard has escaped disciplinary action over for [.
It's sickening to read comments from current players slagging off on their manager, but given
today's footballing world, it just seems commonplace these days. Albert Riera became the first of
many players to have a go at their manager in a public forum, this time expressing his discontent
with Benitez and the club over his [.
Ah, revenge It truly is a dish best served cold. Liverpool will be hoping to shove a heaping
helping of it into the mouth of Portuguese side, Benfica, when the two meet in the quarter-final
round of the Europa League. For Liverpool, the tie will bring with it the chance to rid some
players [...]
Silence really is golden. Just take a listen to the Old Trafford crowd at the end of that video
clip. If you notice, the only noise that can be heard is the singing from the away end and that's
the way we fans tend to like it when we head to a hostile [...]
Another match refereed by Howard Webb, another match Liverpool get robbed of at least a point. To
be honest, I'm getting tired of watching his name flash across the telly right before we take the
pitch. But honestly, my beef isn't with Webb this time around, but rather it's with scum player,
Antonio Valencia, and [.
Drastic times call for drastic measures, and that sometimes means offloading a player at even the
most inopportune time in the season. With team looking for a bit of stability in these
less-than-stable times, Rafa Benitez figured it made sense to offload the 'sinking ship' better
know as Albert Riera as soon as possible.
Liverpool's difficult season has kept a number of important reserve players from making their mark
in the senior squad, one of which is Jay Spearing. The midfielder, who made his senior debut
against PSV in the 2008, has been given very little chance to prove himself in Rafa's squad this
year. It's been a while, [.
The Liverpool Supporter's Union Spirit of Shankly are calling for direct action against the owners
of Liverpool Football Club at the game against Sunderland this weekend. There will be a stay behind
protest while Sky Sports are in the ground, to make our voices heard and to get as much coverage as
possible to let [.
Alberto Aquilani just can't catch a break. After scoring his first Premier League goal a fortnight
ago against Pompey it seemed like the Italian midfielder was finally getting his feet under him,
after he failed to impress during his first five months at the club. But then came a virus, which
rendered Aqua useless for a [.
Fire up the transfer rumours, lads! We've got ourselves a whopper right here. The man in question?
None other than Real Madrid's Raul, a player that, like Steven Gerrard, has spent his entire
professional career playing for one club. At 32 years of age, Raul is far from being a spring
chicken on the pitch.
Alberto Aquilani made his way to Liverpool in the summer for a rumoured £20m transfer fee, but
that hasn't stopped someone from playing a silly joke on the poor Italian. Take a look at this eBay
auction currently going on. Considering the number of injuries and knocks he's encountered this
season, maybe £0.
Instead of doing a regular preview prior to tonight's match, I figured it would make more sense to
give everyone a sense of what we're going up against tonight. As you probably already know,
Liverpool have had difficulty with Benfica in the past most recently in 2005/06, when the club was
unceremoniously ousted from [.
Forget the pundits and talking heads for a second. If you want an idea of what's really going on at
a football club, you ask the fans that live and die with their colours each and every week. Simple
as that. Whilst we're nearing the end of the season, we figured we'd roll out a [...]
Pepe Reina has signed a new 6 year contract at Liverpool to finally give the fans some good news
this season. Reina has always stated his intention to stay at Anfield; and has backed up his
comments by showing his commitment and signing on the dotted line.
Liverpool Manager Rafael Benitez has challenged the club to find investment and provide him with
transfer funds to take the team forward after a disappointing season at Anfield. Fernando Torres
spoke out this week saying that Liverpool had failed to replace Hyypia, Arbeloa and Alonso and that
the team had suffered as a result of their [.
Right, so we've got West Ham on Monday in a match that's all but meaningless for our Champions
League aspirations. Given the way City have been playing, one would have to assume it'd take a
monumental collapse from them to relinquish their hold on fourth. Torres has reportedly seen a
specialist in Barcelona to check on [.
Given all the heartache and pain we've had to endure over the past couple of years, this morning's
news that Tom Hicks and George Gillett were putting the club up for sale was music to my ears. Mind
you, we're not out of the woods yet. Whilst everyone will be singing in the streets and [...]
