Even spending time and money in becoming a Liverpool club member will not guarantee that you get to see your beloved side even once through-out the entire football season. With Liverpool playing some of their best football in years, the situation has become even more desperate. However do not despair, as it would seem that a solution to all of your problems may have arisen...

When you consider their achievements during the era that started with the legendary Bill Shankly and continued under the stewardship of Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and the exalted Kenny Dalglish then you can understand the frustration of supporters desperate to win the league title for the first time since 1990.

Their 1976 League Cup victory stands as one of the most recent expressions of their competitive potential. However, business transactions behind-the-scenes often dictate much of what transpires on the field. Manchester City was not blessed with the necessary capital to spend on the best players in the past.

Chelsea was founded in 1905, at the "Rising Sun" pub (now called the "Butcher's Hook"), gaining a reputation for being entertainers and signing big name stars. The boroughs of Kensington, Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham are the main neighbourhoods for Chelsea fans.

Ever since his transfer from Atletico de Madrid in the summer of 2007, El Nino, as he was dubbed early on his career, has impressed English football fans not only with his goalscoring abilities, but by his total attitude towards life in his adopted Liverpool.

Mobile, possessing a delightful first touch, completely unselfish, always aware of 'the big picture' and totally committed to playing the game in the 'correct' way, Fabregas is the perfect midfielder for one of Wenger's teams.

Certainly there will be many loyal Koppites who could make a fairly convincing case in favour of that being the case.

When the Brazilian signed from Real Madrid on the last day of the transfer window in the summer of 2008, it made everyone aware of the seriousness of the new club owners' intentions. This was a genuine superstar coming to the City of Manchester Stadium.

Apparently, John Terry has the ball that he so horribly miskicked from the penalty spot in the Champions League final against Manchester United two seasons ago sitting in his house so that he can see it every day. It must have been the worst moment of his career; and his genuine emotion was evident for everyone to see. Now, he uses it as a spur to his determination to make amends.

What's the difference? Well, usually a trainer will be an ex-pro or similar who has been handed his coaching role on a plate by a duty bound club once he's finished his playing career. This type of coach is fantastic at developing drills to push physical boundaries; however is not necessarily an analytical man.

A staggering 80 GBP million has gone to Manchester United to acquire the World Player of the Year - a sum that the Madrid club consider to be great value for money, considering the skill that the player possesses on the pitch. And, of course, the moneymaking potential he brings off it.

If ever a place lacked atmosphere, it was the famous and beautifully located home of Espanyol, since 1997. It might have been situated on the glorious slopes of Montjuic, but it was still almost always half empty and sensible fans took their binoculars with them if they wanted to identify the players properly.

This is surprising when we consider that the popularity of Football in India has been reserved in very well defined pockets.

While I have been coaching youth soccer, I have watched over other training sessions of other age groups, and while watching a few, I found that a minority of the coaches did not seem to have any fun soccer drills when coaching youth soccer teams.

Indeed, Bristol Rovers and Bristol City football clubs have become something of a joke among those who follow and watch the goings on of football closely. Considering that Bristol is the largest European city that doesn't have a football team in the national top division, it is pretty apparent that fans of the Bristol football clubs would sincerely like for the tide to turn. But will it? If history is any guide, football clubs experience slumps and comebacks all the time - could Bristol's rally be right around the corner?
