Ah, you mean the helmet and shoulder pads wearing, radio communicating, and forward passing, rugby.

BTW, we'll soon be Liverpool SOCCER Club!

"forward passing rugby" hahahahaha I like that!!!!!

No - these Americans have emphasised the "traditions" of Liverpool FC and haven't left us in loads of debt. They seem "sound".

Problem is, Montreal Canadiens and Dallas Stars aren't used to winning multiple trophies like Liverpool................!! I am sure with their money they'll continue the winning streak!!

刚刚看到新闻,伦敦时间今天早晨takeover已经正式完成。希望朋友的预见是正确的。

Gutted!

two days gone by, but i still can't get that sickening feeling out of me.

once again, it was at the hands of man utd, once again, it was from set piece, and once again it was stoppage time!

what a season it has been! we've lost to all the teams that we shouldn't: man utd, chelsea, arsenal, and even failed to beat everton, and not to mention the cup humiliations by arsenal! benitez was brought in to bring the league trophy back to anfield, but we ended up drifting further away from man utd and chelsea on the league table, while slipping off from arsenal in bringing up new young talents.

by this time next year, it will be 18 years since our last league championship, the same time span before arsenal's (in)famous last gasp win at anfield in 1989. since we've come all the way to follow their footsteps by not winning the league in 17 long years, the best emulation of the gunners would be for us to win the trophy at old trafford next season!

i know i'm dreaming. we can't even win at anfield!

where is that fortress?
