Liverpool FC

I was a small bit out with the 50 or 60 more tackles than anyone else!!!!

Just heard a bit of news that'll make mitchell happy. If Man City win the FA Cup and finish 5th in the league then Liverpool will go into the Europa League!!

Pacheco slipped my mind Pheonix. He's included of course lad.Let's hope he can prove himself and find a place in the side.Wisdom's a real strong,powerful lad Mitchell.Usually plays at Centre half.Good prospect.

Carra's young lad was signed to the Liverpool Acadamy this week. Maybe we have a second generation Carra to look forward to in the future

I thought you lot wanted us to win the league??! Fancy scuppering that with the latest of late penalties! Seriously though, you deserved a point. The good relationship between the two sides was well shown with the respect shown from both sets of fans towards the minutes silence for both Danny Fiszman and the Hillsborough victims. A credit to both sets of fans.

Just seen that Raul Meireles has been voted PFA Fans Player Of The Year.

Well done lad!

Just saw that Meireles won the award. Bit of a strange one for me, I wouldn't even had him as the best Liverpool player, Lucas by a fair distance for me. He had a great Jan/Feb, especially in the formation with 5 at the back, but he's not had as much influence since in my opinion. Fair play to him anyway, I think most people knew he'd come good once he was given more freedom in the centre. Anyone know how the votes for the award are compiled?

thank you ! and that's from a manc

I robbed this off a reds forum, (Yeah HImyNAMEis..... typical).

Liverpool have secured the biggest kit deal in English football history, the £25 million-a-year contract with Boston-based Warrior Sports more than doubling the Anfield club’s present agreement with adidas.
The Times understands that Warrior, a subsidiary of New Balance, will take over production of Liverpool kits in time for the 2012-13 season. Adidas, which launched a new away kit last week as part of its £12 million-a-year contract with the club, had the chance to match the offer but was not prepared to meet the American company’s price.
The link between Liverpool and Warrior is believed to be a long-term relationship and outstrips the £23.3 million per year that Nike pays Manchester United, the previous British record.
John W. Henry, the Liverpool owner, has insisted since taking over at Anfield in October that the club would only spend money that it generates. With Liverpool unlikely to qualify for the Champions League this season, some had questioned their ability to compete in the transfer market.
However, the agreement with a brand better known in the lacrosse world would appear to have solved the short-term cashflow problems caused by failure to qualify for Europe’s premier club tournament.
Sources inside Anfield have been increasingly bullish about their summer spending power and Kenny Dalglish is likely to have a considerable war chest when the transfer window opens.
Although the Liverpool caretaker manager believes that the crop of youngsters emerging from the academy has the potential to continue making a positive impression on his squad, he maintains that investment is necessary during the close season if the club are to become competitive again.
“It’s important that there is room for development for players, but it’s also important you don’t use it as an excuse not to spend money and not improve what you’ve already got,” Dalglish said.
“Age does not determine their ability to play. So if we’re convinced we have young players who are maybe better than what’s available, then we’ll keep our younger players.
“But that does not say we don’t want to improve as a football club. We do need to leave some path open if we do think there are players who can come in. If they develop then fine, if they don’t, we’ve got a problem. But if you buy a player in and he doesn’t produce, you’ve got a bigger problem.”
According to PR Marketing, a German market research company, Liverpool are the fourth-biggest replica kit seller in football, behind United, Real Madrid and Barcelona. About 900,000 shirts are sold annually and, in the adidas stable, only Real sell more jerseys. Liverpool’s defection has come as a huge blow to the manufacturer.
Fenway Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool’s owner, has in recent months become increasingly close to Jim Davis, the chairman of New Balance. This month New Balance, previously best known for its running shoes, announced a multiyear partnership with the Boston Red Sox, who share the same owner as Liverpool. Along with a kit deal, New Balance is thought to have paid in the region of $1 million (about £600,000) for a 70-foot illuminated logo inside Fenway Park, the home of the Red Sox.
United’s groundbreaking 13-year deal with Nike expires in 2015 and the Old Trafford club will expect an even bigger cheque when the time comes to negotiate with kit manufacturers.

I wondered why we had another new away kit come out last week, hopefully the new kits will be better than the shit Adidas have given us over the past 2 seasons.

I can see the new kit giving us the Warrior spirit & a New Balance...... Like I keep saying, all week, I'm here all week

I've quite liked most of the gear have given us.Only the green kit a few years ago and last years yellow one stick out in my mind as being dodgy. Spose the grey one was love/hate. Still, this hasta be good news seeing as it generates more money for the club. This NESV deal is clearly improving our marketability stateside, with this following on from the LeBron James deal/publicity stunt. Finally might be able to challenge Utd in terms of sponsorship deals etc. With the new FIFA Fair Play rules coming into effect as well this kind of stuff it doubly important
