COUTINHO swings it in and he rises resplendent, red resplendent, and he nods it across goal and it is there, it is there, and we are there and I surge forward and fall backwards and I am seven and I am just in awe of this hero; of this man who has gone and done the...
I *LOVE* Rafa Benitez. I love the bones of him. I’m willing to bet I’m in the top one percent of worldwide Rafa lovers. There are basically his kids, Montse and Antonio Nunez that I’m prepared to acknowledge might be ahead of me. It’s important...
IT OCCURS to me that this is an example of a game where a match review might need to be that bit more of a match report. We have a non-televised game in the UK where around half of Liverpool’s travelling support have chosen to stay away in protest at ticket...
I’M in a car with five men (or I was, then my phone battery died). Gibbons is in Lisbon with his wonderful wife. Laura really is brilliant. Like if she wasn’t I’d gloss over this like a snide. Make it go as quick as I can. Instead I want to dwell and...
HEY! Hey! Everyone! The Reds are impotent again. Impotent. All the ball. Endless ball. The Reds are mooching round the hill boys. They all laugh at us, they all mock at us, they all say our goals are numbered. Our goals are numbered. In the car on the way home. 212 is...
RIGHT. Dreadful collectively. A reminder that this is: a) Subjective. And 5 is alright. b) Done in the immediate aftermath of the game and all I’ve seen is in the ground. c) Not a discussion of formation(s) or set up but just the 12 lads who played more than...
AS a contest it was hard to know to expect from Liverpool vs Newcastle. One side which has been inconsistent and a little impotent against poorer opposition at home and the other side one which appears to have downed tools for the campaign insofar as they ever had...
POST-Arsenal, heads had gone. Everywhere I looked, heads had gone. Not quite everywhere. Everywhere’s harsh. And the madness has been tempered slightly by victory at Blackburn. But one of the ways you know heads have gone is because Paul Tomkins writes something...
QUICKLY, declarations of interest: 1. I’m hosting the launch of the book with Simon and Jamie Carragher. 2. I consider Simon to be a friend. After reading Men In White Suits I worry about the second declaration of interest. Simon’s inherent relaxed, open...
WE’RE going to Wembley. Whether we like it or not. I’d rather play at Villa Park, even Old Trafford, but anyway. They don’t involve me in these decisions. Reminder: a 5 is alright. The Reds Are Gnarling Up The Hill Boys. SIMON MIGNOLET: 9 That save...
With Manchester City on the very near horizon and the number of games in the season fast running out, Liverpool enter a run of fixtures that could make or break their aim of automatic qualification for next seasons Champions League.
Rob Gutmann hosts Adam Melia, Joel Penny and Ian Salmon…
