Liverpool 3 - 1 Newcastle
Nice night out today in Liverpool wasn’t it? I don’t think the fans minded much considering we scored more than one goal at Anfield (yay!), Stevie G’s back (yes!) and we got 3 points to round off 2011.
The first half was pretty even I thought with Liverpool having slightly more possession. The first goal of the game against the run of play when Cabaye headed towards goal only...

Liverpool 1 - 1 Blackburn
Another Anfield game, another opposing keeper having a great game against us, another draw.
The game started with everyone in good spirits. We were playing against a terrible Blackburn team so I think I, and everyone else, was expecting a nice win today. It wasn’t to be. Blackburn were resolute and defended stoutly the entire game. We also started of the game slower then I would’ve...

Wigan 0 - 0 Liverpool
No recap today as I couldn’t watch the match. I do know that Charlie Adam missed a penalty (what is up with our penalty takers?) and that the Wigan keeper had a good game (again with the keepers having their best games against us). I loved the support for Suarez from the players and especially the travelling Kop (they’re brilliant!). Hopefully we’ll take all 3 points in our next...

Stevie G!
Kenny’s still got it.
calumcintosh asked: I have a strong feeling Liverpool Football Club are not going to accept this 8 match ban. I look forward to seeing how they react, but I have a feeling they shall be appealing.

Luis Suarez...
On one hand I’m not entirely convinced by this verdict and I eagerly await to see if the FA will apply the same “conviction” with the John Terry case. On the other hand, I just want this over and done with so if the FA feel that an 8 match ban and a £40,000 fine is the way to go then maybe the club shouldn’t let this drag on and we can all move on.

Aston Villa 0 - 2 Liverpool
Another great game today. Villa were woeful and we could’ve won this game by 4 or 5 goals.
We started the game very well, pressing high up the pitch, good movement and passing in attack, and not giving Villa anything in our own third. Our first goal came from a set piece. Stewart Downing took a corner on the right hand side which was back-heeled goal wards by Jonjo Shelvey, Luis Suarez...

Kenny looks like a little kid here.
Everyone seems to be enjoying the snow, I know I have on this side of the world.

Anonymous asked: Oh but you all want Alonso back... "you'll never walk alone" Yeah right! How about 'You'll never walk alone as long as you kiss the kop's ass' That's more like it. LFC supporters, for the majority of you, are twats. Get over it!! LFC isn't about pride anymore, it's about hypocrisy. No wonder the better players want OUT of there. I hope Torres...

This might be an unpopular opinion but I do not want Fernando Torres back at Liverpool FC. He decided to move on to a “big club” (snicker) and basically spat on the support this club and it’s fans had given him since he arrived from Atletico. Now that things didn’t work out at his so-called “bigger club” we should give him a chance? No way in hell! He left for...

Spreading some Christmas cheer
The players (and Kenny) were at Alder Hey today to spread some Christmas cheer. Alder Hey (for those who don’t know) is a Children’s Healthcare Hospital located in Liverpool. I posted a few photos from the visit and the rest can be found on the Liverpool website.
what are they looking at?

Liverpool 1 - 0 QPR
Another 3 points, this time at Anfield against a promoted team (finally).
We started the first half pretty well, and could’ve been 2 or 3 up by half time. Again the main concern was the lack of clinical finishing we seem to be encountering right now. Suarez had a good chance to get a goal but he headed straight into the keeper’s arms. Maxi had the best chance of the half when he was...

Fulham 1 - 0 Liverpool
I don’t know about everyone else but I can’t believe what has just happened. Disgusted is what I’m feeling right now.
The game started off fine with the players and the fans paying their respects to Gary Speed as many others had done over the weekend.
Each team had a few half chances during the first half and the passing by both teams was really good. The best chance came...
