MY pre-game action was a show there, today. Decorating, left it too tight to get ready to get out anywhere, my electric shaver ran out of juice mid use, so watched the first half like a fucking mental case, half a shaved head, half a baldy wool accountant head. Blame...
I READ an article yesterday which cited this week, the first full working week after the Christmas period, is the one we often find the most physically and emotionally draining of the whole new year. Often seeped in the guilt and lethargy of overindulgence and the...
LIVERPOOL’s 5-1 win at Brighton last winter was one of my favourite games of the Jürgen Klopp era. The Reds were unbelievable that day. It rained goals. So many, that I missed two going for pisses. I didn’t care though. It was a joyous afternoon and an indicator...
MICHAEL Edwards is a name on a lot of Liverpool supporters’ lips. You’d find it hard to argue that praise for him and his crack team of transfer gurus — with manager Jürgen Klopp in tow — is undeserved. When Dominic Solanke was sold to Bournemouth for £19m...

IT was a brilliant 2018 for Liverpool. The first half saw them reach the Champions League final in thrilling fashion, while the second half was made up of charging to the front of the Premier League pack. A week into 2019 and they’ve suffered two defeats, one to their...
WE’LL get to the young lad. Liverpool picked a team who looked like they had never played together before. Wolverhampton Wanderers picked a team who knew exactly what their jobs were. God, could you tell. In the first half especially, you could tell. Barely a...
JESUS Christ. That first half was pretty bad, weren’t it? Second half weren’t much cop either, mind you. Aye Aye Big Si: 5 I mean, I don’t know. Spent years watching him not be at fault for goals but never making a one-on-one save. The opposite of what you want in a...
