WE’VE conquered all of Europe. We’ve seemingly decided to have a rest. Let’s get this out the way… Red Star played well in the first half, picked their moments well and produced two excellent finishes. They did sensible things in the second. It...
IT’S dead hard playing centre mid for Liverpool. Been saying it for a while and today that hopefully has been made crystal clear. I say “hopefully” because there have been people refusing to accept this for an astonishing length of time. I say...
MO SALAH scores. Gambles and scores. Cardiff City have thrown their bodies on the line, done everything they can to stop the goal and yet the ball is in the back of the net, Anfield is in raptures, Cardiff in shreds and there isn’t yet 10 minutes on the clock....

LAST season Liverpool came back from this international break and lost heavily away to rivals Manchester City. In midweek, they drew a home European game they had dominated against Sevilla after Roberto Firmino missed a key penalty which drove his form into the...
WHAT about that? What about it? Go fuck yourselves, you fucking cowards. They are good, you know. They are good Paris Saint-Germain. Better than good. I will remember watching Angel Di Maria tonight. I will remember being impressed. I will remember being more...
