Liverpool Ranked Europe’s Ninth Richest Club

Tiki Taka Masala: We’re rich? who knew? and with the added stadium capacity and other business type stuff, should be able to elevate our status… so Lacazette right?

Liverpool vs. Chelsea: Capital One Cup Match Preview, Team News, and Ways to Watch

You know every once in a while Lucas will have a go from 20-30 yards out and every time I’m like, "Man, one of these days one of those is gonna go in!"

Mourinho: Gerrard Deserves Respect of Chelsea Fans

Frankie...: Blue is the colour isn't a chant
It’s just a song the club plays before and after a game, bit like glory glory Man United.
There are obviously plenty, plenty of other songs, but never mind. I realise this is a Liverpool blog, so I’ll see myself out.

Walter Sobchak: No, please, sing them for us

Suso Reveals Reasons for Leaving Liverpool

Amelia L: He just got tired of losing to Jose Enrique in FIFA
The losing was tough, Enrique’s constant tweeting about the results put him over the edge.

Philippe Coutinho Close to New Contract With Liverpool

After the Chelsea match the other night...

..the little magician was snapped out on the town with lovely wife Aine (sp?) outside footballer’s favorite restaurant San Carlo in Liverpool.

If he wants more years and more ££ just do it.

Do it.

Liverpool 0, Bolton 0: First Thoughts

Well they had an advantage
They have Gudjohnsen, we have Badjohnson

CaptainFantastic8: We could have lost 5-0 and the announcers still would have been what angered me the most about the game. I had to mute the last 5 minutes after I got fed up about the tenth time they questioned not bringing on Lambert with the magical fourth sub.

Will Gregorich: Perhaps they were onto something. Kevin Friend clearly didn’t know what was going on all match. He may have allowed a 4th sub.
