Another hard way or the highway victory and Liverpool are through to the Europa League Group stages after a nervy fight to the finish in ever so welcoming Turkey. We haven’t beaten a Turkish team at home since Jesus Christ was a small boy and by half time I thought we were going to continue [...]

From Liverpool to the Black Sea…..
Posted: 25th August 2010 by steven. in Europa League, Match PreviewTags: 4-4-2, Christian Poulsen, Europa League, Glen Johnson, Joe Cole, Roy Hodgson, Torres, Trabzonspor
You can already hear the doomsayers out in droves. Nothing makes those gits happier than a big black cloud and a always say die attitude. We’re on our way to Turkey and lining up against a team that put 3 goals past Fenerbahçe the day after we lost by 3 in Manchester. If you ever [...]
The Reds Draw Trabzonspor….Huh?

The always exciting Europa League has thrown yet another far flung, exotic locale our way. Liverpool will be on their way to Turkey to face Süper Lig side Trabzonspor in the Playoff Round. One tie away from the somewhat lucrative Group Stages and we have to go all the way to the Balkans to do [...]
Ngog Cleans Up Against Robotnicki…..

It might be July and it just might be the Europa League but it’s smiles all around today. Serious doubts were expressed before opening our European campaign in friendly old Macedonia but a 2-0 scoreline against Rabotnicki and new boss Roy Hodgsons first win in the Liverpool dugout brings some much needed relief. What basically [...]
Liverpool and the Europa League Draw
Posted: 16th July 2010 by steven. in NewsTags: draw, Europa League, Roy Hodgson
If you told me this time last year I’d be blogging about a Europa League qualifier, I would’ve laughed you out of the room. This year, I’m not laughing at all. Depending on who sucks least, we’ll be facing either Macedonian side Rabotnicki or Armenian side Mika in the third qualifying round of the Jnr. [...]

The horrible reality of suddenly being bottom of the barrel is, for some people, too much to take. They just don’t have the stomach for it. It’s one thing when it’s all happy times and smiles all around and a completely different one when your on the outside looking in. The top four. The big [...]
You May be Right, I May be Crazy…..

Last match of the season and nothing left to play for. Ownership issues, a manager that might be jumping jumping ship shortly and a swirling cloud of doom and gloom is exactly how a Sunday morning should be spent. If that doesn’t motivate me to exit my Gin induced stupor and jump right out of [...]
Bad Liver and a Broken Heart…..

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 [...]
