As a child, I could never sleep on Christmas Eve. There was a greedy little materialist in me who sneaked into the living room in the dark to count, shake and feel up all the presents under the tree with my name on them and then stayed up all night trying to imagine what the morning would really bring.

Liverpool, the five-time European champions who have won the English title a joint-record 18 times, are struggling on the pitch but comprehensively outperforming their rivals online.
The club's official Facebook page has more than one million fans - more than every other official Premier League fan-page put together - while its Twitter feed has more than 55,000 fans. Click to continue reading...

Yesterday, I looked at the real cost of Jan Kromkamp's transfer to Liverpool. Today, I attempt to establish the true cost of Xabi Alonso and Luis Garcia, two of Rafa Benitez's most successful signings.
At the time of both transfers, the BBC reported that Garcia cost 6m, but in their report for Alonso's transfer, a fee was not specified. Click to continue reading...

I really feel for the 'supporters' who are in the Anti-Rafa Brigade. Yeah, really, if you believe cows can fly. The go on and on about wanting Rafa to be sacked while ignoring glaring FACTS. And what happens to them after each game?

When we lose, these supporters will be happy because they feel that their argument is justified, BUT they will be unhappy because we have lost.

Reds star Jamie Carragher officially launched his new young people's charity in Liverpool.
The Liverpool defender set up The 23 Foundation earlier this year to provide grants to young people on Merseyside.
The 23 Foundation, which takes its name from Carragher's team shirt number, aims to give children a better chance in life. Click to continue reading...

I feel the game against the Mancs is timely. What better way to show to the fans our resilience if not by winning this much-anticipated game. This is the sort of games when form is thrown out of the window.

What I would like to see today is a game in which all our players give their all and play themselves to the ground.

Liverpool Football Club today announced the Spain Tourism Board has signed a three-year deal with the Reds to become the club's 'Official Destination Partner'.
Liverpool FC have a well established affinity with Spain and the deal will enable the Spain Tourism Board, also known as Turespana, to promote Spain's beauty and diversity to a worldwide audience, commencing from this season. Click to continue reading...

It has been a while since I last posted due to being heavily burdened by workload. Since that last post, we lost to Fiorentina in the CL and Chelsea, and just now to Sunderland, in the Premier League. Although I did find time to follow the news and the whatabouts on my mobile.

It is a very trying period for supporters of LFC.

In November 2008, Jamie Carragher made history by breaking a Liverpool FC record set by Ron Yeats in 1969. Normally, this would be a reason to celebrate, but not in Carra's case - breaking the record has now made him the club's unluckiest player ever.
I am, of course, talking about own goals! Click to continue reading...

George Gillett has come out recently denying that he said the new stadium work would start within 60 days of them completing the takeover LFC; but here is a video of the first press conference where he says "the first spade has to be in the ground within 60 days"

Liverpool need to bounce back from the Fiorentina defeat with a solid performance against Chelsea, and whilst it would be a fantastic achievement to win at Stamford Bridge, the club's abject record there means it's (arguably) almost a statistical impossibility.
Let's just look at the cold hard facts:
All time competitive games at Stamford Bridge (Since 1907)*

Played - 76
Won - 17
Drawn - 17
Lost – 42

Failure to win in 77% of competitive games. Click to continue reading...

Speculation continues about the possibility of Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah al-Saud, a member of the ruling family of Saudi Arabia, buying into Liverpool, after the English Premier League club admitted that it had appointed advisors to look at new investment opportunities.
Fahd bin Abdullah's F6 company has signed an agreement with Liverpool and co-owner George Gillett's Nascar franchise, Richard Petty MOtorsports, that will see two Liverpool-backed youth academies and a number of motor racing tracks built in Saudi Arabia. Click to continue reading...

Rafa Benitez has revealed the five players from his current squad that he would have in an LFC 5-a-side team. And, as is often the case with Rafa's team selections, you may be surprised at who is omitted from the starting line-up.
Members of Liverpool's ALL RED official membership scheme receive, amongst other things, an exclusive 'The Real Rafa Benitez' DVD, and it is on this DVD that Rafa makes his selections. Click to continue reading...

LFC Globe are repoerting that Prince Khalid al-Faisal has struck a deal with George Gillett to purchase 25% of his stake in LFC. LFC Globe also include exclusive images of the prince in and around Anfield. http://lfcglobe.com/pictures-gillett-strikes-deal-with-prince/ More Soon Click to continue reading...

Why am I not surprised reading about the leaked papers from LFC?

The documents concerned is apparently a prospectus published by investment banks Rothschild and Merrill Lynch which was released by Bloomberg News.

It reveals that the owners have capped the spending on new players and also any increase of wages to £20M.

Rafa Benitez's rather dubious explanation for Yossi Benayoun's perennial bench status over the last two seasons is (arguably) as ludicrous as it is inaccurate.
In a recent interview, Rafa made the following observations:
'I was talking to Yossi about how he has always been fantastic coming off the bench and he told me he could do even more if I gave him a chance from the start'. Click to continue reading...

Since the Burnley game, LFC has played against Debrecen in the CL, West Ham in the league and Leeds last night in the Carling Cup. I did not get to catch the Debrecen game but, as with the other two games, LFC won not so 'comfortably too' I was told.

We are sitting 'comfortably' at third place in the league after the West Ham game when a few teams in the top five dropped points as expected.

It is now official that LFC has just signed a four-year shirt sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered worth £80M over four years. The deal, biggest in our history, starts at the start of next season and will see the end of the 17-year era of association with Carlsberg. Carslberg pays LFC £7M a year.

On the 18th September, LFC will be announcing a new shirt sponsor to take over from Carlsberg next season. George Gillet says it will be sponsor that fans will be pleased and surprised to be associated with Liverpool...
There has been a bunch of strong rumours that it could possibly be a financial company, but I can't think of any cool ones. Click to continue reading...

I feel this is the first time I am glad that the international break arrived. Although it did come after our win against Bolton, but it was not the usual break that usually breaks our momentum of winning games. This time it feels like it is a timely break, much needed to tighten a screw here and a screw there in strengtening the team.

I've joined my fellow members of the Liverpool Supporter's Club of Chicago in getting our blog up and running. In addition to cheering on the Reds at The Globe, many of us get kitted up on Sundays and play in a co-ed rec league. The summer season ended in familiar style for LFC with a second-place finish.

Liverpool's Ryan Babel has thrown his Anfield future into question by claiming Reds boss Rafa Benitez has broken promises made to the Dutchman about increased first-team involvement.
Babel has not started a match since a poor performance in the opening day defeat at Spurs and his most recent comments indicate his hope for a loan move back to his previous club Ajax in January as well as his belief he has been let down by Benitez, saying "There have been a lot of things promised, but they haven't been followed up.

Going through the football news and bloggers  since we lost to Villa was very very interesting and disheartening at the same time.Â

If the slating came from the usual enemies of LFC, then it is understood. These vultures, the so-called expert on journalism but do the most copy-and-paste reporting, will forever lurk around LFC and find even a slight bit of excuse to go after us.

Soccer isn't immune to the rocky economic climate. Argentina's first division clubs are off to a late start and without a television licensing deal. Moreover, recent articles reported that a few clubs in the newly created Women's Professional Soccer league have lost up to $2 million dollars in its inaugural season. Click to continue reading...

The gloom after the 1-2 loss to Spurs was clearly lifted after the emphatic 4-0 win against Stoke. It was heartening to watch how we bounced back after a disappointing opener of the season with such an encouraging display of football.

As the wisemen of the game keep on saying, a season is neither made nor broken with one game won or lost.

There was a very stark contrast between our 0-0 draws with Stoke last season and last nights emphatic 4-0 victory. Also it was the perfect response to the disappointment of losing to Spurs.
Johnson impressed on his Anfield debut with a superb goal and assist. He looks like he's going to settle very quickly with LFC, and it's clear that we've got ourselves a special player who gives us that extra attacking verve. Click to continue reading...

On the 9th April 2002, a particularly catastrophic tactical decision by Gerard Houllier robbed Liverpool FC of the chance to participate in what would undoubtedly have been the game of the century.
On the night in question, Liverpool faced Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League quarter-final second leg. Click to continue reading...

The summer transfer period is almost over. Rafa brought in Johnson and of course Aquilani to strengthen the team after Hyypia, Arbeloa and Alonso, among others, left us.

The question that most fans are asking is whether there will be more signings before the start of the season this weekend.

It is half time now with LFC trailing Atletico Madrid by two goals to nothing (commentary in chinese though). As a pre-season game, it does look good with players getting the much needed match fitness and we could see flashes of what we are capable of. Carra took a knock early in the first half and was substituted.

It has just been confirmed that LFC and Roma have agreed the deal to bring in Alberto Aquilani to Anfield. I do not follow the Serie A, hence do not really know much about this player. But it seems that he is very highly rated and how fast he settles in the BPL will be crucial since the season opener is just around the corner. Click to continue reading...

It is a pity that the inevitable happened so close to the curtains being raised for the new season -- 10 more days before we meet Spurs -- but then it is better now than next week I guess. Rafa comfirmed that Alonso made his decision two months ago and that would have given Rafa ample time to plot the strategy for the new season.
