Liverpool FC’s Most Famous Fans

Admin - November 16, 2023 - Fans

You know what it’s like: no matter where you grew up in the world, there’s a chance that there was kids in the school playground wearing the replica shirts of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal – regardless of their geographical location.

These famous clubs just have a certain pull on people – they win lots of trophies, which always helps when selecting which football team to support, but there’s a chance to be involved in a huge community of fellow fans; more appealing to some than the rather more niche pursuits of Accrington Stanley and co.

Admin - November 9, 2023 - Managers

Eight years and 31 days. Some 450 games. Seven trophies.

Here’s hoping that there’s many more halcyon days to come with Jurgen Klopp in charge at Liverpool FC, but it’s always worth celebrating the past – especially when milestones have been enjoyed with regularity of late.

The German celebrated his eighth birthday as Liverpool boss in the autumn, while the Europa League tie with Toulouse in France marked his 450th game in charge.

Which Liverpool Star Has Won the Most Premier League Player of the Month Awards?

Admin - November 2, 2023 - Players

It’s always nice to get the recognition of your peers no matter what your chosen vocation.

For Premier League footballers, being nominated for the Player of the Month award is a happy thing – they have been recognised as the standout players in arguably the best domestic competition on the planet, which is no mean feat.

As you would expect, there’s been no shortage of Liverpool players nominated for Premier League Player of the Month since the division’s inception in 1992, with Mo Salah prominent amongst them.

Why Do Liverpool Have So Many 12:30pm Kick Offs?

Admin - October 26, 2023 - Matches

How long is a piece of string?

If anything is possible, is it possible for anything to be impossible?

Can you really expect the unexpected?

These are examples of unanswerable questions; so-called because there isn’t an answer available without additional context.

Presumably somebody, somewhere – at the Premier League, most likely – knows why Liverpool play so many of their games at 12:30pm on a Saturday, and why that is so commonplace immediately after the international break.

But getting an answer….well, it feels like another of those unanswerable questions.

Who Will Be the Next Liverpool Manager?

Admin - October 19, 2023 - Managers

It’s sad to think that, one day, Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool for good.

The German is the fourth longest-serving manager in Premier League history, closing in on 3,000 days in charge in the Anfield hotseat. He is, of course, Liverpool’s longest-serving manager of the modern era, too.

But all good things come to an end, one way or another, and there will be a time when the Reds faithful have to wave Klopp behind for good.

Why Isn’t Anfield Hosting Any Euro 2028 Games?

Admin - October 12, 2023 - Stadium

When it was confirmed that the UK and Ireland had won the rights to host the European Championships in 2028, it seemed almost a formality that Anfield would be one of the stadiums to welcome the competition.

And yet, when the list of host grounds was revealed, the home of Liverpool FC was notable by its absence.

Jurgen Klopp’s Right: Games CAN Be Replayed Due to VAR Malfunction

Admin - October 5, 2023 - Matches

The main talking points of any Premier League weekend should be amazing goals, audacious pieces of skill and thrilling games.

And yet, more often than not it’s VAR – whether it’s questionable overrules, a lack of intervention or just downright human error – that dominates the back pages and social media discourse.

Over the course of a season, you’d like to think these things even themselves out – sometimes you’ll be on the right side of an officiating gaffe, other times you’ll be the victim. That’s modern football’s ying and yang.

But when the error is as cataclysmic as the breakdown in communication that cost Liverpool a goal against Tottenham, it’s hard not to feel extremely hard done by.

Will Fenway Sports Group Sell Liverpool FC?

Admin - September 28, 2023 - Finance

It’s fair to say that, in some quarters of Anfield, the Fenway Sports Group (FSG) aren’t the most popular of characters.

The majority owners of Liverpool FC have come under scrutiny for their business dealings over the years, with accusations that they haven’t supported the club enough with transfer funds at a time when money talks – their inability to finance a move for a defensive midfielder in the summer window left Klopp having to opt for Plan B signings in Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch.

Which Brands Sponsor Liverpool and For How Much?

Admin - September 21, 2023 - Finance

There are numerous different revenue streams available to football clubs, from ticket and merchandise sales to cashing in on their most valuable assets: their players.

But one of the most profitable and reliable income streams for outfits like Liverpool is commercial revenue, a catch-all term dominated by sponsorships and agreements penned with brands from across the globe.

For context, the Reds make around £600 million per year from these commercial deals – essential, really, given that their Premier League rivals dominate the list of richest football clubs on the planet.

The Best Goals in Merseyside Derby History

Admin - September 15, 2023 - Players

Today, September 15, marks the anniversary of one of the most memorable Merseyside derby goals in recent memory.

At Goodison Park in 2001, a youthful Steven Gerrard dropped his shoulder, surged past Gary Naysmith and buried an unstoppable cross-shot into the top corner of the Everton net.
