Nope, the "squatter" hotel is in the town centre and work isn't starting on it until next year. Congrats to Alfie, fantastic achievement .
John Barnes last night, proving he can actually rap... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/watch-liverpool-fc-legend-john-10472882
Hah, after watching the video of him getting it, I was fuuuuuuuuuuming at the photographer who moved them round the other way! Recipient ALWAYS goes on the right ffs! I was hoping for a speech from him too, something with "City til I die!" in it
He was a bit disappointed that his was the first award, if he'd have seen a couple of the others go first, he'd have said something. If you've got the video of the whole event, his interview is on about an hour and eight minutes in.
Well done to the lad. It's comforting to know some young people are flying the flag for the written word. I've read some of his articles and he has the gift of been able to write effortlessly. Some people have it and others don't. Where does he get his talent from OLM ?
It's obviously his mam. He obviously gets his hair from her too. I bet he wakes up every day grateful for these facts.

THE FBA’S: BEST YOUNG FOOTBALL BLOGGER 2015 Last night, Thursday the 19th of November, the 2015 Football Blogging Awards winners were announced at an awards ceremony held at Hotel Football in Manchester. The awards, created to reward the best football blogs and aspiring online journalists around the world, recognise bloggers in eleven categories including Best Established Blog, Best Podcast, Best Young Blogger and Best Club Blog. Over 150,000 fan votes were cast in the 2015 awards, with over 1,000 blogs nominated from five continents stretching from Europe to Africa. A judges’ choice was also awarded in each category, voted for by a panel including BBC’s Dan Walker, John Cross of the Daily Mirror, Neil Ashton from the Daily Mail, The Guardian’s Owen Gibson and more. We are delighted to say that ‘A Halftime Report’ won the much-coveted Judges Choice as Best Young Football Blog. Having only created the website in May of this year it was a shock to even be nominated and to be a finalist at this years event, never mind to win it. I would like to thank each and every one of those who voted, those who read the site and those who have congratulated me since winning the award. I would also like to thank the judges, who ultimately were the one’s who chose me for this accolade, many of whom are highly respected individuals within the field, so for them to pick AHTR is a real honour. The night itself was a fantastic event. Winning the first award turned the rest of the night into a blur, and I’m still not sure whether I really saw John Barnes singing Rappers Delight by the Sugarhill Gang, although I have since been assured that I didn’t imagine that. Anthony Cooper, the founder of the event, deserves immense credit. The awards do a great job of celebrating the work of bloggers, writers, illustrators, etc, that they possibly would not receive were it not for the FBA’s. Speaking of yesterday’s awards, Anthony Cooper said “This years’ awards have smashed our records once again, with more than twice as many votes cast as there were in 2014 and five time as many as 2013. The winners thoroughly deserve this recognition for the total dedication to their craft and their love of the game.” http://ahalftimereport.com/2015/11/20/fbas/
