THIS isn’t just about one game. It’s about two – let’s go crazy. Maybe even three – let’s go nuts. Because: And then there were three. Arsenal are now three and insurmountable goal difference behind Liverpool. To finish ahead of...
THAT’LL teach those bastards for building the ship canal. Samuel Greg and Daniel Adamson, your boys took one hell of a beating. I’m writing this in Legends Bar in New York after doing 90 minutes commentary. Thanks to them and NY Kopites for the maddest...
I HATE “I might not know art, but I know what I like.” I hate that. “I might not know art, but I know what I like.” But also – you do know art. You might not know all the words around it but you are sentient and it is happening around you all the time. What you are...
BROCKLE (Neil’s girlfriend – Ed): “Your articles are horrible.” People seem to like them. Came as a surprise to me, actually. “Sentences without subjects. Subject. Verb. Object. That’s how the English language works.” It’s malleable. And it’s fascinating to make...
THE music stopped. Liverpool had scored more goals than Swansea. Don’t ask me how many more. Just more. More is enough but this manner of enough is exhausting. Andi Thomas recently wrote that no one is having any more fun than Liverpool supporters. That...
DEMONS. All day. Demons. They won’t shut up. Fulham away. I hate Fulham away as a fixture. Hate it. The formbook goes out the window. For every Yossi there is Lee Mason sending a billion of ours off. All day the demons. Rory Smith saying Liverpool won’t...
WOKE up. Got out of bed. Realised it was 0515. Fucking hell I am a bag of nerves. Checked my phone. Text from Gibbo received late last night. He was in a bar. It was badly wool. Name redacted to protect the innocent. Drank some water. Pondered this. Champions elect or...
THINK of Liverpool v Arsenal and what’s the first match that springs to mind? Yeah, we’ll ignore that one. What else? Robbie Fowler’s 4-minute and 35-second hat-trick in 94? The treble he scored against them at Anfield just 16 months later? What...
LIVERPOOL have scored about a billion goals this season, winning by three, four, five. They’ve dug in, winning 1-0 at home when under the cosh. They’ve freaked out, winning 0-5 away from home with panache. They’ve been pegged back by half time and won with style....
Tomorrow we hit London in conjunction with HJC London Rocks. They are bringing John Power and The Tea Street Band. We are bringing Gareth Roberts. OK. There’s an imbalance there. There is no getting away from it. Let’s be honest: Robbo’s far more attractive than all...
