Writing this on the penultimate day of the season, a year that has been nothing but stupendous by all means. I am not aiming this to be a season review because the season is not yet over (at-least for some). My sole aim is to project the positivity that has been with us for quite some time now.
So I shall begin, but then again which point can be deemed as the starting point, that is a question troubling me for quite some time. Some say it was the Derby game at home the others believe it was the game against Arsenal but I would love to say it was the game at the turn of the year. The game against Hull a month back was a disaster to say the least and this one was also coming at a point where we were flat as a punctured tire.  We were not in a good position at the end of 2013 as we were just below the top quartet which was our main aim at the beginning of this roller coaster ride. The task was cut out ahead of us and was not simple enough having lost two tough games despite doing well in them. We were top going into festive period but emerged a little dented at the end of it. Most thought (not our fans) that it would trigger an implosion and we would begin the descent to where we were languishing the last few seasons. We knew that this could prove to be a lesson and sp*r the team onwards and upwards. We won the game against Hull and on this topsy turvy ride. This team has shown us that it can take a hit and still be standing just when you thought the team would not come back and fight as was the case last few years. WE have shown some character by not giving up I don’t know whom to give the credit as I am far away from the action and I can only see whats shown to me via the idiot box. I and many others can take guesses as to who it is, it maybe Dr Steve Peters who has worked with many athletes before and has a proven track record of delivering the goods. It can also be down to the staff who have kept the players in good shape despite having a few niggles every now and then, kept working with them and instilled a belief in the players that they can come back fast from the injuries and perform better. Now some would also tell me that its purely down to the manager himself for coaching them in a particular fashion, not just for football but for life as a whole. He has made the players look and behave like a team and not just play like one. Everytime he speaks we have an assurance that the job is with the right man, who has upholds not just a few but many values of this club. We supporters feel that way just by listening to him few times a week and for a few minutes at most, imagine what the players feel like.
After reading all this everyone probably knows, it is never a single person who is responsible for the changes which are as evident as Rooney’s bald head. Every single one of them has worked hard and tirelessly so that this great club can find its way back on the path shown to us by the likes of King Kenny, Rush, Barnsey and countless other legends. And the biggest credit should go to players themselves who were willing to learn, improve, push themselves, keep themselves fit, recover fast and most importantly play the way we have played so far.

The job is not done yet for we are just beginning the journey towards something special, regardless of what happens on the final matchday. Keep believing and hold on to your hearts and seats because this maybe a ride which can give the best of roller coasters a run for its money. Onwards and Upwards we go ......................

Do some good with what you learn and what you know they said. So I am trying to do just that. When the latest Panama Papers got released I was in the midst of learning about the vast field of data science. Then a thought crossed my mind "Why not do something with the data?'. And so began this small project. It seemed daunting task for my noob mind but then again whats the point of learning if you cannot experiment and go out of your comfort zone. So I set out to do 'something' with the data set at hand. First look at the data set and I was like, 'This is an experiment which is way out of my league'. But then again everything is to someone who is just starting out, so I said 'Onwards and to god knows where'.  So what did I do?  Sunday morning breakfast ->Download data set -> Load it up in R -> Check all the data and find relevant stuff -> Make a copy of the relevant data and ditch the rest -> Google about Geocoding -> R-Blogg...

Penning down this piece just to blurt out some things that are plaguing my mind since long. It’s a mixture of a lot of things, basis of which is related to our LFC and a subject close to every supporter’s heart (supposing everyone likes to learn about our vast history) and the other core is formed by what’s going on in the world since few years now. Yes you must’ve guessed about it, I’m talking of a day etched deep within the memories of every Merseysider. Some who were affected directly are still feeling the pain of an irrecoverable loss. And then there are others who can feel their agony and anguish at what happened on that wretched day of the 4 th month of 1989. A day which should be remembered by everyone alike, for every fan or supporter is family to us in the Red. I was born 3 months after the incident but I have tears whenever I read, hear or see videos about the day. Many say that people outside Merseyside cannot feel the pain, I agree with you but only partly. I say partl...

Life can be hard and uncompromising or even downright painful. But sometimes it gives you happiness mixed with anxiety just like eating a chocolate with a sour coating, it tastes sour at the onset all the while making you want to spit it out but you hang on because you know the sweet part is coming.  And when it does, nothing can be as tastier. Thinking of chocolates reminds me of why I am writing this, our beloved Liverpool FC. These last few years (especially under the one whose face  resembles an owl, isn't it?) have been downright sour but we knew the sweet part would come. All these years we had that feeling of disbelief and even disgust at times. Nobody knew when this would go away but we all knew it was somewhere there lurking behind the dark clouds. Now the days of owls and whiskey are over, the days of Chihuahuas and laughter are here. The sweet in the chocolate has finally broken past the layers and layers of sourness; we have finally managed to wade...
