THE European Champions. The Champions Of The World. The team who are 25 points clear. One of the problems (if there really could be said to be any, because in reality, there are none) with Liverpool being so good, is that opponents tend to up their game. This...
THERE is a variant of this piece which is just 1,000 words on everything Pedro Chirivella did after the final whistle. A thousand words on his every move, his every word. Who he hugged, when, what he was thinking and feeling. I was in the Upper Kemlyn. The final...
LIVERPOOL (0) 4 – 0 (0) Southampton. I love the look of this. It has an old-school vibe. It tells a story. Like most stories worth telling, it is both true and false. There are a ton of possible interpretations. The first being Liverpool dominated first half and...
IN and of itself, it is run of the mill. West Ham United casually dispatched. Liverpool not to be touched. Onwards to Graceland. In reality, it is anything but. Liverpool are 70 points from 72, 19 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. They...
WE were spent. I was spent. They were spent. And then it goes off when Firmino, a million miles away, drops his shoulder and fires it home. Roberto Firmino who hasn’t scored at Anfield this season, who doesn’t believe in small goals, who only scores when...
AND now you are going to believe us. The game is bananas. Liverpool didn’t deserve to go 1-0 up. Five minutes later they deserve to be 2-0 up. But the second goal doesn’t come. By half time they should have a third, they have the ball in the net twice but...
RECORD breaking? There is one record I want breaking – the 30 years it would be between league titles. Liverpool Football Club have never gone as long between winning the league since the establishment of the club in 1892 than the gap currently is. When they ran...
FOURTEEN heroes. Fourteen grafting and giving and offering. Fourteen committed to a way of playing and committed to each other. Committed to us. Fourteen heroes. A game on paper they should never have won, a game they found their way through and gave everything they...
A YEAR unbeaten in the league. A night unstoppable in the league. As constant as a northern star. This is a hymn about a year. This is a love song about tonight. In the league. Every minute, every second irresistible again and again. In the league. They show...
WELL, I mean, Christmas is a thing, isn’t it? On the one hand, the most wonderful time of the year. On the other hand, is everyone fucking knackered? Emotionally and physically? I mean, I am. And certainly the footballers are. We’ll get to the referee. You...
