You can't spell EPIC FAIL without the EPL: Liverpool

Location: Liverpool, Merseyside.

Nickname: The Reds.

Stately, Non-Commercial Stadium Name: Anfield.

Crest: I think they stole the flames from Bowser's castle.

Season So Far: Good start, but too many home draws to the assorted flotsam drifting around the bottom of the league have pretty much eliminated them from title contention (although as I groggily type this, they've just gone 2 - 1 up at United.) Still, somebody will have to deal with them in the Champions League.

General vibe to a casual American fan: Death by crushing. Until Manchester United's recent dominance they were, by far, the top scone on the English soccer lorry. Also too, that damn song.

1 comment:

  1. Their crest looks like a band called the Liverpool Football Club is having a tour for their new album You'll Never Walk Alone in the summer of 1981.
