VIDEO: Stephen Warnock's 'Chewy' Prank on Riise
Posted by Peter Harvey on June 9, 2008 8:40 PM
STEPHEN Warnock pulled off one of the oldest playground pranks on John Arne Riise - and thanks to YouTube the Norwegian may struggle to live it down.

VIDEO: Liverpool Top Ten Goals 2007/8
Posted by Peter Harvey on May 15, 2008 8:23 AM
LIVERPOOLFC.TV are generously offering a free link to their 'Top 10 Liverpool goals of 2007/8.' It's had Jack's nose glued to the computer screen.
Without giving too much away, the compilation highlights the pace, control and potency of Senor Torres.
I remember speculating in the close season about Torres being another Ian Rush. At the time, I thought it may be optimistic, bearing in mind he'd never kicked a ball for Liverpool.
If he retired tomorrow, Fernando Torres would go into the club's history books as one of Liverpool's greatest strikers, although some would say you're only as good as your last trophy.
Take a look at the top ten by clicking here.

VIDEO: Greatest Ever You'll Never Walk Alone?
Posted by Peter Harvey on May 14, 2008 7:40 AM
HOT on the heels of the Fernando Torres song in its full Kop glory, here's some stirring stuff to help Reds block out Chelski's trip to their fatherland with Ronaldo & Co.
I thought Anfield stadium announcer George 'It took the biscuit' Sephton was going to cry at the end...

Kop That! Stevie G Grabs The Headlines
Posted by Peter Harvey on May 13, 2008 9:06 PM
THERE'S a famous anecdote about George Best lying in his hotel bed with Miss World, surrounded by discarded champagne bottles, awash with banknotes from a lucky night at the casino.
The bellboy stands in the doorway and, with a heavy heart, asks: "Where did it all go wrong, George?"
You've heard it before? I know. My point is...if you're going to make the headlines, do it style. So what does Steven Gerrard get caught doing?

Gerrard and Pienaar Top Study of Most Assists
Posted by Peter Harvey on May 11, 2008 10:32 AM
YOU may have expected Mikel Arteta or Tim Cahill to top the table of Everton's goal providers this season based on their creativity over the last few years.
You may also have expected them to chip in with 20 or 25 goals between them. If they had, the Blues could have been been nudging Arsenal for third place, never mind Liverpool for fourth.
However, the stats for all matches reveal, it was Steven Pienaar who is credited with the most assists (14) behind Arteta (10) and Cahill (4).
Here's the full list (up to May 11, 2008):

VIDEO: The Kop Sings Fernando Torres Song
Posted by Peter Harvey on May 9, 2008 7:57 AM
FUNNY how some Kop songs take off. A few seasons ago it was Ring of Fire. Now, its the Fernando Torres song. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-naaaaah!!!
Jack's face lights up with delight when he watches this clip from YouTube.
I just hope Stan Boardman doesn't try to cash in with a Christmas version.
If there's a chant which defines Liverpool's 2007/8 season it's this...

Cyberspace: Where Football Never Sleeps
Posted by Peter Harvey on May 7, 2008 6:32 PM
THE internet is changing the way everyone gets information - especially football fans.
What was once the preserve of a small clique of Fleet Street hacks, is now a global, instant, 24/7 business. Football writers would once huddle after press briefings and agree lines and quotes to satisfy their respective sportsdesks, keeping their own exclusive leads to themselves, of course.
Soccer writers could even afford to sit on a story for days and decide when it was best to trouble their sports editor and ultimately the public with their knowledge. They were in control, NOT the fans.

Stevie G Takes Out Avram Grant
Posted by Peter Harvey on May 4, 2008 10:29 PM
IT'S always funny seeing people fall over - especially if it's in front of millions of TV viewers.
Steven Gerrard was keen to get on with the throw-in as Avram stooped to pick up the ball in Liverpool's semi-final Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge.

Mini Mariners Take Centre Stage
Posted by Peter Harvey on April 25, 2008 6:30 PM
A GREAT night for the young Mariners as they were invited to be mascots for the Liverpool Senior Cup Final.
Many thanks to Marine boss Alvin McDonald and chairman Paul Leary for making their dreams come true and also to both sets of players.
I took some video footage and someone with far more technical know-how than me put together this short video for the Crosby Herald website.
Anyway, the video tells the story. Here it is:

It Ain't Over Till It's Over
Posted by Peter Harvey on April 24, 2008 11:03 AM
JACK was counting down the seconds to the final whistle at the end of Liverpool's Champions League semi-final first leg against Chelsea.
He'd spotted the board go up to announce four minutes of added time, injury time...whatever they call it now.
Dirk Kuyt looked to have given the Reds a deserved 1-0 win. We knelt in front of the TV, Jack in his pajamas and cloaked in his LFC fleecy blanket, as the game drifted towards full-time.
His eyes were on the clock, not the action, as it ticked to 93:59.

Champions League draw fixed?
Posted by Peter Harvey on March 14, 2008 1:14 PM
AMAZING thread on the go at the Liverpool Echo's LFC forum.
Of course, it could be coincidence? When the Russians are involved and there's money to be made, nothing is a surprise.
Take a look by clicking here
This sort of thing is often claimed on football forums, but at least this guy has got it spot on against all odds.
UEFA will dismiss it as nonsense, but the story will run...
P'raps they've already boxed off Liverpool to beat Man Utd in the final. 5-0? Or will it be six?

Did We Beat West Ham, Dad?
Posted by Peter Harvey on January 30, 2008 9:55 PM
TOMORROW morning, before his eyes are fully open, Jack will ask how the Reds got on against the Hammers tonight.
I'll stand on the botton rung of his bunk bed ladder and explain to him that despite the euphoric victory over mighty Havant and Waterlooville at the weekend, Liverpool couldn't continue their winning form.

Liverpool FC: Excuses Wearing Thin
Posted by Peter Harvey on January 22, 2008 8:02 AM
RAFA feels he's a victim of unfriendly fire from the Yanks. The Yanks clearly don't rate Rafa. Not surprising, the way he's behaved. Now, the players are blaming off-the-pitch distractions for poor performances and poor results.
Of course, there's elements of truth concealed within all this insecurity. But, they all need to get on with the job and stop blaming each other. Fans are getting fed up with it.
"...like bin-man, or windown cleaner?..."
"I think you will find that I am £1-50 up this mont..."
"This version might be better...it's a bit long but..."
"I'll definitely advise Jack and the others to purs..."
"'Big Issue!' Hope you wont be one of those sellers..."
"Thanks CSB. I'm hoping I'll never grow up. But if ..."
