I WANT Liverpool Football Club to win every trophy possible. That doesn’t seem like a particularly controversial statement, as I’m sure most Liverpool supporters would also happily watch the club lift every bit of silverware in sight, while our rivals look on in envy....
IN October 1986, Liverpool travelled to Craven Cottage to play Fulham in the second leg of a Littlewoods Cup tie. The Double winners sat third in the league having seen off Wimbledon at Plough Lane three days earlier. There wasn’t much interest in the tie and that was...
I FELT tremendously guilty yesterday. There was a wasp in my kitchen. I opened the windows in the hope he’d fly out, but despite about 20 per cent of the room being open windows, he managed to miss every time and an hour later, was still there. As he sat on the...
GREAT that, wasn’t it? Five things and that… 1. Sadio’s bird might be fucking berserk Sadio started like he had had murder with his bird just before kick off. Perhaps he had. I did. Maybe he could feel my angst. Kindred spirits, blood brothers or whatever. Maybe...
