Usually when I do this I’ll take a look back at the weekend’s action in the Premier League and have a wonder about what we learned. But congratulations are in order to Manchester United who retained the Carling Cup on Sunday against Aston Villa. So it’ll be things we learned from both competitions.
1) Micheal [...]

All great Empire’s must eventually come to an end. Alexander The Great wept as there were no more worlds left to conquer. The British Empire slowly melted away after two world wars. Liverpool stopped winning every league title ever as the 1980s became the 1990s.
All this might sound slightly premature after Man United lost [...]

Ten years ago, as we entered into a fresh decade, it was Leeds United who sat at the summit of the Premier League, and looked like the 00s might well be their decade, in the way that the 90s belonged to Manchester United, the 80s to Liverpool and so on.
It didn’t really work out [...]
Half-Term Team Reports
By: Rob | 7 Comments
So we’re roughly half way through the season. A few teams have played just more than half their fixtures, and a few have played just less, but with the new year rapidly approaching its as good a time as any to stare blankly at the league table and try and make sense of it.
It [...]

That video is worth it for the gritted teeth when Rafa says “the referee was perfect”.
A surprising day of Premier League results then. First off, Liverpool’s season takes yet another turn for the worse, as they lose 2-0 to bottom club Portsmouth (who, are looking much better now with Avram Grant [...]

By: Rob | 4 Comments
Haven’t done a weekend preview in a while, and I thought that it was time to get back into the mix and have a look at what games are going down over the weekend. At least one big game as Liverpool take on Manchester City, in a game that could prove pivotal in terms of [...]
Finally see Jan Molby’s mythical Lost Goal
By: Rob | 2 Comments
That’s a good goal, isn’t it? Jan Molby scoring for Liverpool against Manchester United in a League Cup tie in 1985. You might wonder why exactly it deserves a blog post on a monday morning 24 years later though. Well, its because Molby’s goal was thought to be lost forever, due to a TV Strike. [...]
This Weekend Its all About One Match

Apologies too all the other teams playing this weekend, but this weekend sees out answer to that other big derby match going on, as Liverpool play host to Manchester United.
Last year I focussed on the history of the derby, and if you are interested in how it all came about then click right here [...]
How Many Losses Before You Are Out of the Race?
By: Rob | 12 Comments
So, the big game this weekend finished with Chelsea coming out on top, a much needed tonic after their defeat against Wigan last week. The loss means Liverpool have already lost thrice this season, although Rafa Benitez is still confident that Liverpool are still in the title race.
Which got me wondering how many losses is [...]
How close are City to United?
By: Rob | 4 Comments
So typically, Sir Alex Feguson has come out in the press today to announce that he’s never really seen Man City as a rival to Man United, only Liverpool. This is all partly mindgames, I imagine, but also partly frustration at how quickly its all come together at Eastlands.
Playing Man United this weekend is [...]
