On Thursday, the British press confirmed what we’ve feared for a long, long time now: the football boot industry has lost its mind. Luis Suarez will soon debut a brand new “knitted” boot—the first in history of its kind—as he takes to the field looking super suave, super hip and super comfortable. The Adidas PrimeKnit
In the summer of 2012, Brendan Rodgers was that desperate to land Fulham’s Clint Dempsey that he offered the London club both Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson in exchange for the attacking midfielder. Now, fifteen months since the August when Dempsey chose Tottenham ahead of Merseyside, the American is struggling back at Fulham on loan
Ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup tie with Manchester City, Jose Mourinho wasn’t going to be quiet. In his Friday press conference, the Portuguese manager set about starting a war of words with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger in an attempt to get under the Frenchman’s skin as the finishing line for the Premier League title race
Liverpool have been dealt a huge blow in their bid to finish in the top-four of the Premier League this season following the news that midfielder Lucas Leiva is expected to be sidelined for up to two months after sustaining a knee ligament injury. The Brazil international suffered the problem just 20 minutes after coming
The Premier League has always boasted its competitiveness compared to Europe’s other top leagues, although in reality it was only two, sometimes three teams that were really in the title race. So far this season, that has changed quite dramatically. Here we are in January and the top 6 places are changing on a weekly
Jose Enrique has hailed Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard after an excellent start to the season.

It has been an excitingly wide-open season so far for the English Premier League. Some predicted as much due to so many changes to squads and the addition (or loss) of top players. Also noted was how many clubs have had new coaches over the past couple of seasons. With all these changes, some teams
Naming the very best player in any particular sport is sure to spark controversy. There’s loads of debate each year when FIFA names its World Player of the Year. Still, it’s so much fun to talk about which player deserves accolades that we can’t help but stir the pot further. Here’s a look at the
After an impressive second half to last season, with a Liverpool side growing in confidence and adapting to Brendan Rodgers ideas, the summer transfer window represented an important crossroads for the club if it is to get back to where it wants to be.

With Brendan Rodgers beginning his second term as Liverpool boss, the expectations going to be a lot higher this time around.

After being rebuffed in the transfer market this summer by both Diego Costa and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Brendan Rodgers’s desire to land a major signing at Liverpool shows no sign of relenting. Next on the list is Willian Borges da Silva of Anzhi Makhachkala, with reports contact has been made with the Russian club over a
This summer at Liverpool has been largely overshadowed by the transfer saga involving Luis Suarez, the striker who seems intent on leaving Anfield despite the club’s resilient desire to keep him. In a parallel plot-line to the war of attrition with Suarez however, is the work done by Brendan Rodgers in quietly assembling a promising
About a year ago, shortly after the appointment of Brendan Rodgers, I wrote that Liverpool needed evolution, not revolution. The departure last summer of club legend Kenny Dalglish was a difficult one, particularly for older fans who still have fond memories of his glorious first tenure as manager at the club, as well as a
The Spanish forward Iago Aspas has finally completed his long protracted deal from Celta Vigo and signed for Liverpool. The 25 year old forward had been expected to sign weeks ago but a dispute with the Spanish authorities led to the delay. It already looks like Brendan Rodgers has a busy summer planned with several

There will also always be occasions which may not seem terribly important to the

Whether it’s a promotional stunt, a bit of Public Relations work or if the money and fame has simply went to their head, numerous footballers from all corners of the world have been spotted in what can only be called train wrecks on wheels. Today, however, we’re going to look away from the expensive and
For years, Jamie Carragher has been a key player for Liverpool in defence. Other centre back’s have come and gone, but Carra was always there shouting at his teammates and organizing the defensive line. But after years of loyal service to the club, Carragher has decided to retire at the end of the season. Liverpool
Top of the match: Luis Suarez Flop of the match: Arouna Kone After the shock Europa league exit, a week ago Liverpool posted a commanding 4-0 victory at DW stadium on the Saturday night. Downing’s opener followed by Suarez’s hat-trick had earned comfortable 3 points for the visiting side. Reading’s loss at Goodison Park had
Over the last 20 years, we have been privileged to see so many brilliant players and wonderful goals illuminate the Premier League, leading to a plethora of breathtaking football matches. But which of these games stand-out, leaving an ever-lasting imprint on our memories? The following is a list of my top 10 games of the
Forget about EL CLASICO (Real Madrid- Barcelona), THE SUPER CLASICO (Boca-River), DE KLASSIEKER (Ajax -Feyenoord) etc. The biggest game in world football is MANCHESTER UNITED V LIVERPOOL and luckily for all of us, football lovers, it is going down this weekend at the city of Manchester (Sunday afternoon). Matches of this magnitude are always feisty
Since Rafa Benitez left Liverpool FC in the summer of 2010 every one of his successors has had the same task: get the club back into the Champions League. Roy Hodgson was brought in to “steady the ship”, but he left the club after only 6 months in charge. Kenny Dalglish was seen by many
Since taking over from Kenny Dalglish, Brendan Rodgers has had a mixed start to his Liverpool career. League results have been disappointing so far, and the home loss to Swansea in the Capital One Cup proved the bad transfer business the club made in recent transfer windows.
