A community portal about Liverpool F.C. with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Liverpool Football Club are a football club based in Liverpool, in the north west of England. They play at Anfield but are currently trying to get permission for a new stadium about 200 metres away. They play in the FA Premier League and are the most successful club in the history of English football. Liverpool have won eighteen First Division titles, seven FA Cups, seven League Cups, five European Cups and three UEFA Cups. Liverpool are also a member of the G-14 group of leading European football clubs. The club was involved in two of the biggest tragedies in European football — at Heysel in 1985 when thirty-nine spectators died, and at Hillsborough in 1989 where ninety-six people lost their lives. After the Heysel disaster, English clubs were banned from European competition for a period of five years, and Liverpool were excluded for six years. The Hillsborough tragedy led to a review of ground safety at all top English league clubs, and paved the way for legislation necessitating all-seater stadiums in the top-flight.
