Following Chelskis example of introducing cheerleaders to Anfield Road is probably not the best way to liven up the crowd. It's sad to say but Anfield Road can be disappointingly quiet at times, fans clearly need no encouragement for the big games, but it's a very different story for the smaller ones.

I love the beginning of this story.
Hamburg - "HSV forever and ever," is the anthem of German Bundesliga soccer club SV Hamburg, or HSV. Now fans can be true to their team after death.
Apparently not far from the team's stadium is a cemetery for Hamburg football fans.
It's the first of its kind in Europe.

Damn y'all I don't know what it is but I'm tits-over-tail for this new Kings of Leon record. I never liked their first two LP's of dirty Southern twang, and only thought their last record was OK. But this new one, Only By The Night, is killing. I'm still not over "Sex on Fire" yet, and now they're dropping the U2-Meets-Journey anthem "Use Somebody" on me.

Rafael Benitez is hopeful a tactical switch off the field of play will help Liverpool generate an atmosphere to send shivers down the spines of any side visiting Anfield this season.
The Reds boss believes the introduction of the Barclays Premier League anthem has curbed the impact of the club's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and feels that asking fans to sing the famous song just prior to kick-off will help give his side a psychological edge.

The coach wants it to be sung closer to kickoff and not as the players walk out.
"We thought it would keep the atmosphere right up until the kick-off and that way the opposition is on the pitch when all the noise is in the ground."
He might have a good point, since there's a league anthem that has to be played before the match and it often cuts into the Reds' fans rendition.
