Liverpool Football Club

Advantages: Great squad, great fans, great manager, great history
Disadvantages: No league title for 16 years

...on 22nd September 1978 in Sydney, Australia, Harry has a career so far that has hit the highest heights and the lowest lows. Harry was spotted by Leeds' then boss Howard Wilkinson in 1996 when part of the New South Wales Football Academy. He was handed his debut almost immediately and went on to become a club favourite very quickly with a series of impressive performances, one of which was when he ripped Liverpool apart. With the bubble at Leeds bursting some time later due to financial over-reaching, Liverpool took advantage of the situation and Houillier brought Harry to Anfield for the bargain fee of £5 million in July 2003. Harry, a boyhood Liverpool fan, saw this as a dream move and turned down big money from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal to join the club. His dream move quickly turned to nightmares as he picked up...

Review of Liverpool

liverpool fc club membership

Advantages: liverpool really are great
Disadvantages: the magazine is only quarterly

...they see themselves in ten years time and these are just a few examples of whet they talk about. Included with the magazine is a sheet of questions. On this sheet are two sets of questions one for the older fan and one for the younger fan. The questions are surprisingly difficult and only true supporters would know the answers to them. Each set of questions are in the form of a competition that allows the winner of each age group a chance to meet the players face to face and then watch a match from the VIP box. When i renewed my membership I was made aware of some gifts that the club give to new members and renewing members, these gifts include: a liverpool stationary kit (pencil,rubber etc) a liverpool stationary holding tin a small book of past players and, a video of the seventies it is the video that I found the most...

Review of Liverpool

Liverpool football Club

Advantages: A great club to watch and support
Disadvantages: None

...I have been so impressed with Liverpool football club in the last couple of months that I've decided to write a review on the club. I support Liverpool and every time I watch them play I see a team that is progressing very fast. Liverpool Football Club were established in 1892 and since then Liverpool have won the UEFA champions league five times, won the F.A cup six times, won the league eighteen times, won the UEFA cup 3 times and won two European Super cups. Liverpool's longest serving manager was Tom Watson who was the Liverpool manager for 19 years from 1896 until 1915. Watson died in May 1915 and his funeral took place on the 11th of May, the coffin was carried by Alex Raisbeck, Teddy Doig, Goddard, Wilson, Parry, Fleming and Robinson as well as the club trainer William Connell. He is buried at Anfield Cemetery. While Tom...

Review of Everything that starts with F ...

Home of the Champions of Europe

Advantages: Experiencing the insights of your football idol
Disadvantages: Not being allowed on the Pitch

...My brother and I, went on the guided tour of Liverpool Football club and Stadium back in March, as part of my brothers 21st birthday present. As fanatical Liverpool supporters this was a must do thing, once and a while, although admittedly this was my first time. We approached the ground amongst hundreds of people, some who i'm sure were just milling around, while others were joining the huge Que to buy champions league match tickets for the Juventus match. Outside the main Liverpool retail shop, stands a bronze statue of a great Liverpool manager, who i'm sure most people will have heard of, Bill Shankley. He was the Manager from 1959-1974, in that time he won the club, 3 League Championships 1963-64, 1965-66 and 1972-73. 2 FA cups 1964-65, 1973-74, 1 UEFA cup 1972-73. 1 Second Division Championship 1961-62. 3 Charity...

Review of Liverpool Football Club Stadium Tour

Once upon a time, in Liverpool...

Advantages: An excellent museum dedicated to the Fab Four, suitable for all age groups
Disadvantages: Some of the headsets are a bit dodgy (it was just mine) and some displays not working

...This time during the month of Beatlemania, instead of just writing about the bands albums, films and death theories, I wanted to write about some of the ways in which Liverpool still celebrate the lives of their favourite sons (beside the football players!). Although Ringo made a few disparaging comments towards his hometown a year or two ago, the phrase ?everyone has to start somewhere? springs to mind and ? although I may be a little bias ? I would have to say that Liverpool is very much the land of opportunity compared to where I live! Right at the heart of the city is Albert Dock, a place now surrounded by various shops, museums and even a hotel with the Echo Arena mere feet away. When I was very little, perhaps six, I remember Mummy and Daddy, as they were affectionately called back then, taking my Brother and I right near...

Review of The Beatles Story, Liverpool

Why should Football Clubs be special?

Advantages: tighter controls on clubs
Disadvantages: some clubs may go bankrupt

...In short yes. In this day and age of global football brands and huge television contracts football is a business. In any other business if you spend more than you have then adverse consequences happen. Be it a requirement to cut back on expenditure or to fold and go into administration. Business is about discipline and football is no exception. As a supporter of Crystal Palace FC, I've been through administration with a football club and it's not particularly pleasant. Going to a match and not knowing if it'll be the last one your club ever plays is a strange feeling. But then we paid the price for over extending ourselves. Through our then esteemed Chairman Mark Goldberg he instigated his so called 5 year plan which would see us competing as one of the biggest clubs in the country and in European competition year in year out. It...

Review of Should football clubs be allowed to go into administration?

Liverpool...good,bad,ugly

Advantages: entertainment
Disadvantages: emotional rollercoaster

...of fans can match the atmosphere produced inside.It is a cauldron of passion,abuse,europhia,agony and yes,sometimes violence. Regardless,there is no better place to be on a european night,freezing your plums off but loving every minute of it. Liverpool continue to break records and become involved in thrilling matches,the kind you talk about for years to come. The european cup final of 2005 was without doubt the best final ever. Even i believed we were done and dusted but to come through that night victorious was as emotional as being jilted at the altar.(not that i have...lol) I had no nails left,i was breathless,sweating,palpatations and tired. This i hear you cry was caused by football.Yes indeed,liverpool fc had just won the greatest club competition again and set new british records as well. We also have the likes of the uefa cup...

Review of Liverpool

Liverpool in trouble

Advantages: One of the biggest clubs in Europe...
Disadvantages: ...going through their worst run in 50 years.

...Picture the scene; it's early November and after a 2-0 win against West Ham, Liverpool went seven points clear at the top of the Premiership and were striding towards a place in the next round of the Champions League, it appeared that it would have to take something very special to knock them out of their stride. Three months on and defeats to the likes of Middlesborough and Sunderland have seen Liverpool slump down the Premiership with no wins in eleven games and an early exit from the Champion League at the hands of little known Swiss club Basle. So where has it all gone wrong for the mighty reds? Every pundit, fan and his dog has had their two pence worth. Excuses and reasons range from poor management and lack of commitment from the players, to wrong formation and wrong players. I think the problem is much simpler...

Review of Liverpool

Lively Liverpool

Advantages: I live here
Disadvantages: Some shops aren't here, the weather

..., purveyors of the most delicious sausage rolls. There is a Sayers café at the rear of Marks and Spencer as well as a large café in St. John's precinct. I'd recommend: All of the shops, after all I am a woman. It took me & my sister about 4 hours to visit all of the shops on Wednesday. EATING OUT: Liverpool has a good mix of restaurants, as you'd expect from a city. If you're looking for something classy and expensive (and the glimpse of some football players) take a walk down to Albert Dock (Est Est Est, Blue Bar & Café). For Chinese it has to be Chinatown, which you'll find by walking up to the top of Bold Street. If you like Italian food, I'd highly recommend Villa Romano, a nice little restaurant at the bottom of Wood Street. For Indian try the top of Bold Street. A great place to go if you're with people who like different types...
