Liverpool fan goes nuts over 4-1 Man U thrashing in Sky FanZone

Any Reds disgruntled by my reporting of Comscore’s rather mishievous figures regarding LFC and EFC’s website visitors may be placated by this Youtube video of Sky’s Fanzone from Saturday 14 March, the date of Liverpool’s dismantling of Manchester United in a 4-1 win.

Football fans are unlikely to change their opinion of Liverpool fans – whatever they may be – based on this video, which is marginally more reatrained than Sky’s awful panel on Soccer Saturday hosted by Jeff Stelling.

Still, at least they managed to find a Liverpool fan who’s actually from Liverpool, eh?

Play Liverpool-based Flash games

As someone who works as an online editor, I’ve become a huge fan of embeddable Flash games, not because they’re any cop but because they’re such as a good, cheap, easy source of evergreen copy that’s inevitably popular.

In that spirit I though I’d round up all the games on the web that relate to Liverpool. Inevitably the ones I’ve been able to find tend to relate to Liverpool Football Club efforts, but there’s a nifty little racer in here too.

Although I don’t have a lot of time for footy sims, Champions League Liverpool Milan is actually pretty decent for a Flash game.

And, by a curious quirk of fate, the Streets of Liverpool against-the-clock racer may be geographically inaccurate, but it starts at finishes at the former offices or Ripple Effect – Number One Hnrey Street – which ahppens to be where I currently work.

Liverpool wit: Rafa, Gerrard, Carragher, Owen and Crouch impersonations

I suppose it’s debatable exactly how cultural this is, but this Youtube video of some local lad running through his spot-on impressions of Rafa Benitez, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen and Peter Crouch is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in ages.
