The Guardian and several other sources are reporting that Roy Hodgson has flown home from South Africa in order to put pen to paper on a deal at Anfield.
I wrote earlier this evening that if Hodgson were to be appointed, I’d find it a fairly uninspiriting decision not entriely motivated by football - that his [...]

Much as I was initially pleased with Kenny Dalglish’s presence in an advisory role in LFC’s search for a new manager, I fear it is more a token gesture from the big wigs - Broughton and the American owners - to temporarily assuage the fans.
And if, as reports last week suggested, Kenny himself quite fancies [...]
It is 2006/07. I’ve just turned 17. Liverpool FC is coherent behind the scenes, and almost no dirty laundry has yet been hung in public. No sign of the Americans. This article was me before the crushing pessimism set in. I fully believed that Rafa Benitez could not fail to make us the best team [...]

At a time when politicians are being forced to work together to forge an uncomfortable alliance, is it time for Merseyside’s two giant football clubs to do the same? The plans discussed above would have Everton and Liverpool sharing a ‘Siamese’ stadium, with two individual grounds existing side by side but sharing a central connecting [...]
Many are writing about a dilemma facing Liverpool FC this week: do we throw the game on Sunday and stop United from winning the title which finally sees them take our hallowed record, or do we try to win it, to restore pride, to remain in desperate hope of fourth place? As far as I’m [...]

The question has crystallised since Monday night: is Rafa Benitez the ‘right man’ for Liverpool FC?
Many fans now seem to be saying that he isn’t. I’m hoping in this article to pull together the different strands of argument that these fans are using and, in doing so, attempt to get somewhere closer to the ‘truth’ [...]
Alberto Aquilani must be confused about his position at our football club. He was bought as a replacement for last season’s best player, and yet, despite being fit now for more than two months, he does not seem to have the confidence of Benitez. He sat on the bench last week whilst Lucas and Mascherano [...]
Corpse in question being, of cour(p)se, his Liverpool team. Wednesday night was the lowest ebb of Benitez’s time at the club. Reading are a shocking team with a rookie caretaker manager and they have barely scraped together a win against Championship opposition all season. I could go on about how bad they are but we [...]
Is Garry Cook the new Peter Kenyon?
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_5797004,00.html
An annoying businessman-politician with no idea about the actual game of football, Cook appears to have some serious insecurities following the sacking of Mark Hughes. Maybe it’s because he knows the decision is an absolute joke, that Hughes was well on-target for his club’s season objective of a top [...]
If people ask me who my favourite Liverpool player is, I always tell them the same thing – Jamie Carragher. A lot of the time, they respond with a raised eyebrow and say, ‘not Steven Gerrard then?’
For a while, I screwed my face up at their surprise and insisted that Gerrard, whilst being a [...]
