If you think it was a matter of belief, just look at Aquilani’s face when he scored the opener and you’ll think again. There’s a chance you could put it all down to the fact that we didn’t have the heart but then you remember Yossi’s goal celebration in in extra time. You think maybe [...]

Only 90 minutes left to save our blushes. An hour and a half to set this wretched season right. Our only chance at Silverware this season is a second tier competition that no one actually wants to play in. It’s been too long since there was a new addition to our trophy case. For all [...]

After weeks of speculation, highly promising English youngster Jonjo Shelvey has agreed to terms with the Merseyside club and will join the squad at the conclusion of the 2009 – 2010 campaign. Liverpool faced competition from a number of top tier rivals in capturing the midfielder for an initial £1.7mil fee. Jonjo is Charltons youngest [...]

As an independent blogger, I don’t feel the need to report on every little piece of LFC news that floats across our News Desk. There’s no reason for rumour mongering is there? But, when a potentially huge story breaks that has little to no credibility, you just can’t help but bite. Here at Paisley Gates, [...]
Off With Their Heads!

Poor Burnley. You have to respect a club who’s ballsy enough to play a 4-3-3 against the likes of Liverpool. Unfortunately, that strategy has pretty much got them to where they are: relegated. It was just a bad day to be a Claret. Absolutely nothing was going their way. Satistically speaking, the teams were pretty [...]
Three to Go

What can you say at this stage that has not already been said half a dozen times? You can only say, “must win” so many times before it kind of loses it’s luster. In reality, all matches are must wins. A loss or draw, regardless of importance, is still damaging psychologically. So in effect, even [...]
Two Days Spent on the Road Only to Phone it in

I wish I could say I’m surprised at the loss to Atletico, but having them get a goal over on us, on the first leg, does not surprise me in the least bit. The only reason that I’m not drinking myself into a stupor right now1 is the knowledge that the second leg will be [...]
Time For Another One of Those Europa Thingies

What’s worse than flying around Europe for matches? Driving around Europe for matches. Whether UEFA has it in for English clubs or they just don’t know how to reschedule matches on a calendar, all fixtures will go on as planned. Fulham are not quite in as bad shape. Their trip to Germany will only take [...]
