    First I would like to thank Peter for taken the time to do this,its a pleasure having him on the site and willing to do a Q&A session with us.

    Peter has a new book out now called When Football Was Football:A Nostalgic Look at a Century of the Club,we have a thread going on it Here.I have been getting stuck into it over the weekend and I have to say the pics are magnificent.


    For anybody who does not know Peter here is his 'profile' on wikipedia.

    Question:.Peter,you were telling me you got full access to the Daily Mirror archive which goes back to 1892.There must be some gems in there,how did you decide what to put in..?And whats the archive like I am sure they have loads of unpublished pics that are just wasted.

    Question: I believe you are now a world cup bid ambassador for England’s bid to host the tournament in 2018,What do you think the chances are that 1)England will have a successful bid and 2)The City of Liverpool will have at getting some games..?

    Question: Sorry if this is a stupid question mate but why has a club as big as LFC not won the league in so long?

    Question: Hi Peter, anytime I've seen you speaking about LFC you tend to be very level headed in your opinions. Does it frustrate you listening to the amount of kneejerk 'supporters' who have found a voice thanks to the internet and television phone ins?

    I feel these negative glory hunters are damaging our club. We should be 'altogether now' and all that :)

    Hi Peter, looking forward to getting my hands on the new book..

    QUESTION: With the 2 American owners at the helm and our financial situation because of their borrowing to buy the club, what are your views on the future of our club with these so called "patrons"?

    How's it going Peter, it's good to grill you!

    Question: Given what's going on with the two d***s running the club & their blatant financial greed, can you see us winning the title this season?

    I think it logs you out after a short time of inactivity...
    When logging in, simply click "remember me" to remedy this.

    Question: Besides our great football anthem YNWA and your own All together now, What other football songs do you think are worthy contenders.

    Question: I remember you touring with the Mondays way back, how did you all get on with them considering they're all Mancs.

    I think England have a very good chance of hosting 2018 but whether or not Liverpool will get any games depends on the improvement of existing stadia or building a new stadium. I have been told that Anfield meets FIFA regulations but Goodison with its wooden stands/structure doesn't. I honestly can't see a new stadium if the current owners are in charge for the next few years, they simply haven't got the finances.Liverpool is the most passionate city in England when it comes to football so a World Cup without LIverpool is unthinkable. Brazilians want to party in Mathew St not Salford.

    Q.
    When, Where and what date is your most memorable as a liverpool fan and where were you?

    Q.
    Do you believe Liverpool football club will dominate english football again in the near future, or has the big investors ruined the game?
