With the domestic season officially coming to a close yesterday in the wake of Crewe’s League Two play-off victory, all footballing attention turns to England’s bi-annual, summer humiliation on the world stage Euro 2012.

Liverpool fans have become disillusioned at the recent events that have occurred at their football club.
