YOU can’t live your life by ifs and buts. So why should your football team be allowed to? If Raheem Sterling scored that chance when the ball broke free for him to the left of the Manchester United penalty area? But United scored their first against the run of play....
THE Champions League ‘experiment’ didn’t work then, did it? We unconvincingly won the opening game at home to the weakest team and went on to collect just two more points from the remaining five. In all honesty we were pretty lucky to head into the...
WE played like we meant it during the second half against Stoke City on Saturday. There was a bit of intensity, some spirit, a touch of defiance and even a degree of passion on show. Most of it was directed towards the task of putting the ball past Asmir Begovic,...
NOTHING is irredeemable yet. There is plenty to worry about – that goes without saying – but some of those concerns could be easily remedied with some subtle alterations. It’s time for Brendan Rodgers to turn his ethos of building a team from front to back to...

“THAT’S for the 86 semi-final you Subbuteo stadium twats…” The forthright thoughts of an anonymous member of the Twitter community shortly after the final whistle at Loftus Road. The reverse déjà vu concept of QPR losing to us 2-3 but contriving to score...
A WIN is a win? Sometimes a win is a win and nothing more can be gleaned from it. Sometimes it’s worth a little bit more than that – even when it’s the type of performance that usually provokes the response that “a win is a win”. Casablanca. 1942. Starring Dirk Bogart...
CATCHING one like that so late in a game always reminds me of that punch Herol ‘Bomber’ Graham took against Julian Jackson, in a WBA World Middleweight Title fight in Benalmadena, late 1990. The one where he was spark out before he hit the floor totally planked out,...
