FEW clubs have as glorious a history as Liverpool FC - and now we want your help to celebrate it in the Liverpool Echo's new Reds Matchday Memories section.

We are looking at the Reds success stories through your eyes, as well as opening up the Echo archives to highlight great games from the 1960s to the present day, with match reports of the time and photos and video as well.

You can send us stories about your first trip to watch Liverpool in the flesh - the sights, the sounds, who you went with, what you think about the day looking back now - what it felt like to start your life as an LFC fan.

We also want to hear your best Liverpool FC stories - massive foreign trips, meeting your favourite player, the time you played alongside an LFC star - you name it! The more the merrier. If you can send in pictures of you at the game or the event you're remembering, that would be great too.

To get involved, simply send an email to neil.macdonald@liverpool.com or write to Matchday Memories, Liverpool Echo, PO Box 48, Old Hall Street, Liverpool L69 3EB.

As well as your tale, and any pictures, make sure you add your name and contact details too.

And what's more, the first 25 people who send in their story will also go into a draw to win one of five copies of The LFC Family Album, a fantastic photo archive of Liverpool stars past and present.

And this is just the beginning - the more of you who send in your memories, the better, and if there are any games you want us to highlight, let us know and we'll do our best to put them up. You can also add your memories to each one we publish by commenting below the story.

So get involved, share your stories and remember those great days and nights from years gone by.

IT'S just as well Liverpool have got another game tonight so soon after Monday's pathetic effort at Wigan.

Because at least it means the fans don't have to dwell on it for a week or more and, hopefully, will be feeling a bit better by tomorrow if - and it's a big if - we turn up in France tonight.

In truth, the performance at Wigan ranks as possibly the worst I've seen from a Liverpool side. In fact it was so lacklustre, the players should be ashamed of it and issue an apology in the Echo to the fans.

LIVERPOOL managed a feat on Monday that many would have thought impossible - they lost twice on the same night.

If it was not bad enough seeing Wigan Athletic take three precious points, the defeat at the DW Stadium effectively saw us relinquish pole position in the race for the Champions League; things, from this moment, are going to be exceptionally hard.

NEVER mind going for the Champions League - Liverpool played like a team trying to avoid getting relegated at Wigan the other night.

And this negative mindset where you try to make yourself tough to beat before you try to go out and win a game finally came crashing down at the DW Stadium.

Liverpool FC fans letters

Rafa Benitez demands Lille response to Wigan loss

Players must show strength, says manager.

The defeat last night against Mighty Wigan finally quashed the last bit of hope I had of us getting something out of this campaign.

Another listless performance from a side that may well have had one eye on the away game at Lille this Thursday but dropping three points makes life a lot easier for our rivals for fourth place.

Man City and Aston Villa in particular who now have games galore in hand and gives them both plenty of margin for error.

As the line goes in a famous Bob Dylan song. Last night was the night that Liverpool supporters came face to face with the bare reality of what is going on within the team at the moment.

Wigan versus Liverpool, was not just another of those must win games - it was a game that we should have won outright within minutes of being on the pitch. In fact everyone I spoke too appeared to be in a buoyant mood. This was the game that would confirm our position as fourth in the table. Sadly though, it became obvious in minutes that the team would have preferred to be elsewhere.

It was a good line up that consisted of Reina, Mascherano, Carragher, Kyriakos, Insua, Rodrigeux, Gerrard, Lucas, Benayoun, Kuyt and Torres. The substitutes for the evening were Cavalieri, Johnson, Agger, Babel, Ngog, Aquiliani and Riera.
Referee for the evening was Andre Mariner.
