Tonic for a Tough Loss: Three Famous Liverpool victories against Manchester United

By Bill Farnham

I hate losing to Manchester United. I don’t care if it’s at Anfield or at Old Trafford. I would rather beat Manchester United than beat Everton any day of the week. Maybe it’s because I’m not a Scouser or because I’m not from Liverpool, but it’s always the Manchester United games that get my blood pumping.

In light of last Sunday’s “glorious failure,” I thought that I would remind myself of some of my favorite Liverpool – Manchester United games from the last few years to ease the pain of the past few days (and a season where we have yet to record a league win). Nothing beats watching a replay of Liverpool thrashing Manchester United, except for watching it live of course.

Kop 5 LFC Hair Stars

By Sam Mathius

I’ll be frank: we need something to lighten the mood. The last few weeks haven’t exactly been hunky dory. They’ve been whatever the opposite of hunky dory is. (Dunky hory? That sounds dirty.) We, the Liverpool family, are in dire need of a large dose of smile, stat. As we all know, there is one thing in the world that unequivocally makes people happy: a good head of hair.

So forget the last three Premier League matches happened and reminisce on legends of old, look back at so-so players of not so long ago, and analyze a current fledgling who all have some seriously entertaining hair.

Finishing eighth not an option for Liverpool

By John Dutton

“We are Liverpool, we can’t finish eighth.”

- Steven Gerrard

So said Liverpool’s beloved captain last Friday in an interview on the LFC website. He’s right of course, but you know what: last season marked the 50th in a row that Liverpool has finished among the first eight places in top-flight English football, starting with the club’s return to the old First Division under Bill Shankly back in 1962-63.

Dalglish Out After Tumultuous Season

The willing savior plays scapegoat and we should all be thankful.

By Sam Mathius 

Stark numbers, disheartening statistics, and anemic attacking form marked Liverpool’s season. The end of the season was a welcome one, even given the capture of the Carling Cup. Perhaps no one was more relieved to see the campaign end than Kenny Dalglish himself.

Dalglish’s departure follows hot on the heels of the departures of Damien Camoli and former Head of Communications for Liverpool FC, Ian Cotton.

Liverpool’s 7 Successes in the FA Cup

By Tim Treacy

As the build up to the tomorrow’s FA Cup Final against Chelsea continues, here is a look back at Liverpool’s previous seven victories in the world’s oldest sporting cup competition.

The FA Cup was first held in 1871–72. Entry to the cup is open to all teams who compete in the Premier League, the Football League and in steps one to five of the FA National League System, as well as selected teams in step six. This provides the magic of the FA cup as the largest clubs in England and Wales can be drawn against amateur village teams. The tournament has become known for the possibility for “minnows” (underdogs) from the lower divisions to become “giant-killers” by eliminating top clubs from the tournament and even theoretically winning the Cup, although lower division teams rarely progress beyond the early stages.
