Kop Quote

Julie remembers her dad, Alf Arrowsmith

He lived life to the full, he had lots of energy and made a lot of people smile. He left here to go to Liverpool but he always called Glossop 'God's country' and he'll be remembered by a lot of people. Apart from my mum and us three there was only one love of his life - it was Liverpool Football Club until the day he died. We like to think he's up there with Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley picking the team and spurring them on.

Quantifying the Anfield Aura: From Paisley’s Fortress to Modern Predictive Modelling

23 June 2026

If you've ever stood on the corner of Walton Breck Road as the team bus pulls in, you'll know that there’s something about Anfield that defies simple logic. People talk about the "aura" or the "12th man" as if it’s some mystical force field that physically pushes the ball into the net at the Kop end. For years, rival fans laughed it off as mere sentimentality, but if you look at the cold, hard numbers, there is a very real statistical anomaly at play.

Liverpool's 2026/27 Pre-Season Friendlies Confirmed

22 June 2026

Liverpool's summer schedule for 2026/27 is taking shape, and it carries the kind of fixtures that quicken the pulse of any supporter who pores over the club's results and history. Four pre-season friendlies are now lined up between 25 July and 9 August — Sunderland, Wrexham, a meeting with Leeds United at Soldier Field in Chicago, and a closing night against AS Monaco at Anfield. For a fanbase that knows its FA Cup nights, its European epics and its roll-call of captains and managers by heart, the off-season quiet is lifting, and the anticipation that has defined so many Anfield summers is stirring once more.

Diomande Now Reportedly On Iraola's Shortlist As Well As Liverpool

16 June 2026

The departure of Liverpool gaffer Arne Slot at the end of the 2025/26 Premier League season was not a great surprise, as our top flight title defence campaign went horrifically wrong - and was in no way helped by the massive overspend in the summer transfer market as the players just did not gel well enough for way too long.
