Mighty's Note Book

Tournament Time

8th May 2013

Had a great time at the U10's and U11's tournament at Halton Stadium on Saturday. We had so much fun dancing on the side lines and trying out new pose's, the Mighty Mo-Bot was a hit! Well done to Brazil Girls U10's and Town Green U12's for winning the sections in Quarter Final 2. You can check out the scores (and my boss pictures!) here Great result for my Liverpool Ladies friends winning 1-0. I must have passed over some of my skills to them! You can check out the scores and my boss pictures here.

That wasn't all though, now I don't know about you but I have never experienced a Merseyside Derby before - WOW what an experience. The atmosphere was buzzing even more than normal (never thought that that could be possible) as the reds and blues made their way down Anfield Road. I could hear everyone practicing there chants, 'Oh when the reds go marching in, oh when the reds go marching in'... I like that one!

The sun was out too which could only mean one thing, it was time for an ice cream! after my pre-match warm up in the Family Park I deserved it. Vanilla Mr Whippy ice cream with a flake = PERFECT.

Shame on the result but can't fault the effort. YNWA

Looking forward to the Premier Leagues School tournament this week called 'Road to Anfield 2013' what a name. Good Luck everyone and enjoy

I'll check back in and let you know how it goes.

The Mighty Mobile

24th April 2013

Can you believe that Chevrolet have provided me with a new set of wheels?  Big Thanks Chevrolet. My cheeks are aching from all the smiling I have been doing.

The car really fits my style loud, bright and completely wicked!  This is definitely going to make everyone smile every time they see me cruising by.  I know I can't drive it yet because I'm only 8 but that's ok because my good friends from LFC will drive me in it to my events.  I have a lot to take with me so I'm glad it's big enough for me, my footy kit, water bottle and my photo cards.

I can't wait to pull up outside school and show it off!  We went back to school after our little break over Easter, glad to see my friends have loads of stickers in their attendance season ticket book.

Wish it hadn't rained on Sunday so I could have played in the Family Park but Dad said it was too wet so went to the Family Zone instead!!  I had loads of fun up there to and my new friend Luis Bond won the junior quiz prize.  Well done Luis.  The Reds played well against Chelsea with the final score being a 2-2 draw.

I deserved my CHOCOLATE!!

5th April 2013

I definitely deserved eating my Easter eggs this week!

The International Football Academy has had us all working really hard this week at the LFC Academy in Kirkby.

The best part was my group's penalty shootout competition.  I stretched properly then got into position, focused and planned out my attack (just like the coach had taught me) and I took my shot....... gooooaaallll! Top right hand corner, world class for sure! I have to say the crowd did help me through it though. The screaming and shouting built up an awesome atmosphere so I couldn't let them down.  Fans really do encourage the team and without us I bet they would feel alone.

The talent was endless as the competition went on, the goalkeepers were stopping some screamers. I didn't win a medal but it didn't matter I was just glad to be part of it, it was so much fun and everyone got a signed certificate at the end by the one and only LFC Legend Ian Rush.

I have a few days to relax after all that excitement before I make my way to the Family Park for 3 hours before kick-off. Seems like ages ago since we had a home game but Liverpool v West Ham on Sunday - Come on the Mighty Red Men.

My new magazine

20th March 2013

Can't believe that I have my very own Junior Reds magazine on the shelves already!

The first edition of my mag Kop Kids was ready for everyone to see last week. It is packed of all things Liverpool. My talents amaze me, I make a boss magazine editor.

I couldn't wait to show this off to my friends in the playground. Everyone wanted to see what I was so excited about and they quickly understood why. Although the writing is perfect there are so many cool pictures, tips, facts, posters and awesome competitions too.

You've got to see it to believe it so check it out.

This week I was lucky enough to be invited to a school I hadn't visited before in Liverpool called St Vincent's. I met over 100 new friends that day in a special award assembly.

They had all done so well in school and out of school activities the teachers wanted to reward them, how cool is that? I got to join in and they were all wearing red too! I did think at first that it was because they were trying to look as good as me (which is hard to perfect) but found out they were raising money for Comic relief, just like me and the players did last week. Great work everyone hope to see you soon.

Has been an amazing week yet again, just a shame about our Saturday result losing 3-1 away at Southampton. Feeling positive about our Aston Villa game on 31^st March though. YNWA

What a Draw

5th March 2013

Jordan Henderson is such a great guy. This week we were both asked to help the draw for the Premier League and the Disney Channel Goalmouth Premier League Schools Tournament.  We had to draw out the teams in an FA Style ball draw!

We picked that LFC's rivals Everton and Manchester United were in the table, I reckon Liverpool have this competition in the bag.

There are so many reasons why this competition is so boss.  I will get to meet loads of new friends aged 6 - 13 years and show of my new skills that I learnt at the International Soccer Academy that I went to last week.  There will be a crowd of 1,500 people watching us and best of all the tournament will be played at ANFIELD.  I can't believe it! We all feel like super stars (let's face it I'm a super star in my own right already!)

Although I am a great footy player already I still need to practice hard to score a hat trick like the Reds amazing No 7 Luis Suarez did on Saturday. A brilliant 4-0 win against Wigan away.  Stewart Downing scoring the first and Luis taking on the rest. Great team work lads can't wait till Sunday. Tottenham at home - Come on you REDS.

John Aldridge and Me!

20th February 2013

I love the Family Park anyway, but seeing John Aldridge again, having a photo with him and getting his signature was out of this world.

Thank you to @BarclaysFooty and their Pingit photobooth we all had an amazing time.

I didn't think the day could have got any better but I was wrong. The lad's won 5-0 against Swansea, incredible work.

I was having a good week before Saturday because I was at the Young Warrior sessions, where I was asked to referee their Penalty shoot-out competition.  I also went back to visit my friends at Anfield Infants, Anfield Juniors and All Saints.

Meeting John Aldridge was just  a perfect way to end the week before half term. Looking forward to a lie in tomorrow!

Young Warriors is Boss!

5th February 2013

I learnt so many new skills with the LFC Foundation Coaches this week.  I joined them for my first session at Anfield Sports and Community Centre at 4pm on Monday.  I met some great new friends and even scored a few goals too.  So much fun hope I meet you there soon!

As well as playing some wicked footy (as always) I have been making sure I have been to school on time.  It's hard work but knowing I may get some goodies at the end of term makes it all worthwhile!  I do enjoy it when I'm there if I'm honest but don't tell my grownups.

Welcome to the LFC Family Coutinho.  I'm Looking forward to our next game.   We are playing at home and I have been invited to the Family Zone - which is inside the ground on Upper Anfield Road. Soooo excited, hope I get to see Sturridge and Gerrard score like they did on Sunday against Man City. Feathers crossed!

Sturridge Scores Again!

21st January 2013

What a come back from last weekend's game with Man United with a boss result - 5-0 win against Norwich!

Sturridge scores again. 3 goals in 3 games - get in lad.

It's been great to see the snow in Liverpool and I got to make a few snowmen and have a few snowball challenges too.

Was made up to see Dan Magness at the Family Park - freestyling and teaching us all a few tricks! I can't wait to see him again, I'm going to make sure I practice really hard.

A Great Start to 2013

8th January 2013

I've struggled this week to have to get up and go back to school (and there's no more chocolate for breakfast!)

Was great to see all my school friends again and hear about all their adventures.  We had so much to talk about that the day went really fast.

Footy was cancelled at lunch today because the pitch was too wet and muddy, would of loved to slide in it too.

Made up that the start of 2013 has been good on the pitch both at Anfield and away!  We won 3-0 against Sunderland at home and then won again against Mansfield 2-1 away in the 3^rd Round of the FA Cup - get in lads! Fingers crossed for the Manchester United game on Sunday 13th.

A massive welcome to Liverpool FC - Daniel Sturridge.  I hope you will all join me in making Sturridge feel welcome in the LFC family.

Seasons Greetings

24th December 2012

I've been to so many parties leading up to the holiday celebration. I am so excited to see what Santa delivers for me tonight.  

I've been really good looking after my sister and brother so hopefully he will stop off at our house. I'm leaving him a mince pie and some milk for the reindeers.  Saturday really gave me a good reason to celebrate,  4-0 against Fulham - yippee so happy.

Seasons greetings to you all and see you in the New Year.

At School on Time!

29th November 2012

"I'm so happy that I got to see all my friend's again this week at Anfield Juniors and All Saints School.

It was amazing to see so many of my friends eagerly waiting my entrance - even in the freezing cold everyone was at school on time and some of them had come in even earlier than what they had to be just to see me!  All I wanted to do was hide under my quilt and ignore my mum shouting me down for breakfast, but if I did that I wouldn't get a sticker and I wouldn't get the cool prizes from LFC at the end of term.

Schools have so many cool things to do, I even found out they have their own park at All Saints - it's wicked.

I'm well looking forward to the game on Saturday because I get to go to the Family Park again and a special friend is coming to visit!". 

Seeing my School Pals

13th November 2012

"Made-up! I was invited back to see all my friends at Anfield Infants, Anfield Juniors and All Saints School. 

We had loads of fun playing games in the playground before school started. We played hop scotch, number ladders and alphabet swirl. Because everyone was at school on time we all got a sticker to put in our special school season ticket.  It was another picture of me which made everyone really happy!  

It was brilliant to see Glen Johnson back on the pitch on Sunday and I was buzzing after watching Luis 'game-changer' Suarez help us  finish on a 1-1- draw". 

Meeting my Friends at Liverpool One!

29th October 2012

"Why does the week have to go so fast when you don't have to be at school? I have enjoyed the late nights and the late mornings! I was allowed to stay in bed till 10am (I needed it after a full day in the park). My BMX has had loads of days out to, riding through all the muddy puddles was boss!

The highlight of my week though was being invited to the Official Liverpool Store in Liverpool One. I spent 3 hours there signing my name on a cool new photo card. I must have seen over 200 people all trying to get a sneaky snapshot of my fiery feathers, I couldn't blame them really. After that I was straight to the ground enjoying the pre-match activities at the family park and soaking up the excitement of another win for the Reds against Anzhi YNWA".

Football Fun at The Boot Room

15th October 2012

"Well I am one lucky bird. I was invited to the Boot Room Sports Cafe at Cheshire Oaks for the launch of their amazing new goal simulator.  Although I practiced really hard I didn't get the highest score, John Aldridge did! Yeah I know lucky or what? Got my picture taken with him and all my new friends that I made whilst I was there. I will definitely go back and try and try until I get the highest score! 

They asked me to stay for a birthday party so I played with more party people until my feathers couldn't take anymore - Phew!! What a great day."

LFC New Family Park Fun

2nd September 2012

"Wish it was still the school holidays , there was so much more time to go out and explore. I played footy almost every day too.

The best thing has been going to watch the Liverpool home games at Anfield. Not only are there loads of people singing and shouting, they have opened an amazing area called the 'Family Park' on Anfield Road!! There are loads of cool things to do there.  Theres a speed cage, penalty shoot-out area, 5 a side footy pitch, table footballs and loads more. And if that wasn't enough I got to see Ian Rush open it with a lucky Junior member who had won the Monthly Dream Draw.

Can't wait to go back again. Don't have that much fun at school". 

Really Cool Week

24th August 2012

"I had a really cool time this week, no school again!! Had loads of time to practice my footy skills & learn some tricks on my skateboard.

My friends from Standard Chartered Korea filmed me for a new Korean television programme, I took them to the new family area on the concourse at Anfield, they loved it! 

Then to finish my week I was invited to help raise money for Alder Hey at Springfield Park. I ate loads of ice cream there! Mint choc chip's my favourite.

Yesterday I joined some new friends at the Boot Room Cheshire Oaks for a party - A great way to end a fab week. Thanks everyone! Off for more adventures now".

Loving the Olympics

6th August 2012

"I've been resting my feathers after a very hot and busy tour in the USA. So glad I'm not at school, lie in's and staying up late to watch the Olympics is so much better. I reckon I could get a Gold Medal in sateboarding, footy or on my BMX!". 

Flying to the States/Airport Adventure

24th July 2012

"I'm so excited! A few days ago, some of my wingless friends from the LFC Foundation told me I'd be flying this week - and they'd be flying with me. I was a little bit confused, and also worried because I have been eating a lot of candy floss at all the parties I've been to recently and not really practiced my flapping. 

But it turns out I was flying on a plane for the first time ever - and not only that, I'd be flying with the Liverpool team to North America for their pre-season tour! Now I don't know whether the plane is better than me at flying, but this was certainly a great adventure for me and I barely slept a wink in my bed the night before. 

At the airport, I joined the Liverpool players and managed to take a cheeky photo of Charlie Adam on my phone - he was trying to hide from me after he'd heard rumours I was planning to challenge him to a dance off. America here comes Mighty!". 

Alder Hey Visit

23rd July 2012

"Another busy day for me as I visited some of the wards at Alder Hey children's hospital to show off my boss dance moves, have a bit of a singsong and hand out some special presents I'd brought along. My mate Bill Bygroves was there to playing his guitar - I now have my very own Mighty chant! Thanks Bill and gang!

I think I also ruffled a few of the nurses' feathers when I took a cheeky opportunity to answer the phones behind the desk, but sometimes I can't help it, I'm a mischievous bird!".
