Norwich v Liverpool 15:00 – Norwich fell to a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle last time out in a match where they wasted too many of the chances they carved out for themselves. Chris Hughton’s return to Newcastle was clearly not the one he would have hoped for and he will be looking for greater sharpness […]
John Terry was today found guilty of “using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Ferdinand and which included a reference to colour and/or race contrary to FA Rule E3[2]” and banned for four games as well as handed a £220,000 fine. The outcome of this case had been easily predicted since the Chief Magistrate’s […]
It was thought that Kenny Dalglish had seemingly got his Twitter mixed up with his text messages, tweeting something that appeared to be a private bit of advice. However, it appears as though Dalglish is just guilty of poor Twitter skills, having failed to directly reply to a jokey tweet from his daughter. D’oh.

Liverpool will feel robbed today following their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United, despite being the better team for most of the game. Even after going down to ten men following Jonjo Shelvey’s challenge on Jonny Evans, when it could be argued the United man also could have received his marching orders, Liverpool still managed to […]
Liverpool v Man Utd 13:30 – A second half equaliser from Luis Suarez granted Liverpool a point away to Sunderland, in a week full of emotion for their fans following the revelations surrounding the Hillsborough disaster earlier in the week. Raheem Sterling continued to impress as he provided the greatest threat for the Reds, with […]

In order to set the scene ahead of their latest meeting on Sunday, here is a look back at some important numbers from their previous 20 top-flight meetings at Anfield: […]
At the end of week in which we were reminded yet again that there are sometimes more important things than football, it fell to the city of Sunderland to host a group of supporters who have been campaigning for more than two decades to expose the lies and cover up perpetrated by those in authority. […]

Whether the past 10 days represent, for you, the tedium of an international break or thrills on the road to Rio 2014, the return to Premier football is welcome enough to justify bringing forward this week’s ‘Who are You?’. Sunderland play Liverpool on Saturday evening and we asked David Wooding, a Liverpool-supporting journalist and broadcaster […]
This picture can be found in Brendan Rodgers’ home. Honestly. You do have to wonder what the motivation could possibly be for someone to have a portrait of themselves on their wall. He doesn’t gouge peoples’ eyes out like Jose Mourinho, ban journalists for asking questions like Sir Alex Ferguson, or make a yearly […]
Earlier this week, Alessandro Del Piero was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool, only for him to opt for Sydney FC instead. Liverpool are in desperate need of a striker after selling Dirk Kuyt and Craig Bellamy, as well as loaning out Andy Carroll to West Ham. Brendan Rodgers even refused to rule out […]

With the annual resumption of Barclays Premier League action on Saturday we are all once again facing a long nine month period of drama, excitement and, depending on which club you follow, agony. Saturday’s big kick off saw the household names of Liverpool and Arsenal begin their respective campaigns in somewhat of a new era […]
BFTGT: What would have to happen this season for you to class this as a successful one? Rob Marrs: A top five finish, a Cup, playing some decent football and being on the back pages rather than the front. I’d say top four but we’ve fallen back over the last couple of years and all […]
