An article by Red Bubble for Kop That. You can follow Red Bubble on Twitter at @RedBubble1892
Success. No one is entitled to it. Not even Liverpool Football Club. Our club has a long and famous history. A history filled not only with trophies, but epic nights the supporters of most other clubs will never get to experience. Our past is certainly something to be proud of and in my opinion should...

Man Utd 2 v 1 Liverpool - Premier League
Saturday 11th February 2012
Luis Suarez returned to the starting line up for the first time since his 8 game ban finished, having featured from the bench in the last outing against Spurs. A tense encounter saw the Reds go down 2-1 at Old Trafford to their arch rivals.
Suarez struck for the Reds to get back on the goal trail but it was a lack of handshaking between the Uruguyan and Patrice Evra...

No "A" In Chelsea
Sometimes it seems as though things just don’t go right for Chelsea.
A full back that misunderstands “shooting practice” and takes a gun to training, a £50m striker that has forgotten where the goal is and where do you start with Mr.Terry.
It seems though that amongst all the drama the club has also forgotten how to spell its own name.
Thanks to the Sky Sports cameras for...

An article by Katherine Lockett.
Since the 22nd January, Liverpool with Kenny and Steve Clarke have taken an average of 2 points a game and a goal difference of plus 19. If the league had started on this date we would have finished comfortable third. That was done with the Torres wanting/getting out and his replacement Carroll arriving injured.

Fanzone: Kenny Dalglish Poem
Thanks to Gordon Milward who sent this into us to post out.
The atmosphere at Anfield has been lacking for awhile
The players and the staff they did their best to smile

A man of great stature in life there are a few
Dalglish is his name what changes can he bring
In remembered times gone by, his name the Kop would sing
