IT’S been quite a week. While the heavy City defeat was written off through face-saving indifference and outraged fury (ours being the most bipolar of all clubs), talk soon turned to the cheery possibility of the Premier League Champions signing Thiago Alcantara from...
IT has been a very long time since we’ve been able to talk about Liverpool fixtures being meaningless. The title was secured three games ago and in near absolute terms, the remaining games have very little tangible worth. Obviously, it is not quite this simple, as...
BY the time you read this, the Thiago Alcantara to Liverpool links will have been comprehensively dismissed as nonsense. I have absolutely no inside information on this, it’s just what tends to happen when I choose to write about a transfer rumour. I don’t really like...
CAN you say the past few weeks have been a rollercoaster? I mean, things started off slow with the Merseyside Derby and I was genuinely worried for at least a moment that we may just watch The Reds slowly stumble over the line towards a first title in 30 years, all...
JORDAN Henderson roars at Curtis Jones after he scores. Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino surround him and Curtis looks sort of sheepish. He’s rarely sheepish, everyone says, but he suddenly looks his age in the best possible way and it’s a real sweetheart...
Alisson: 8 His hands. Imagine a massage off him? Reckon he could climb The Shard with just his goalie gloves on, like that human fly fella. Brilliant second half in a way that you sort of come to expect. Like it’s easy. It’s not easy. Ask all our other...
FEBRUARY 15, 2011. Kenny Dalglish was the manager of Liverpool Football Club. The Reds were sitting in sixth place in the Premier League after a home draw with Wigan Athletic halted a run of four wins on the spin under the guidance of The King, including victory over...
THERE have already been a lot of ‘we should have been there’ moments. The first game back, the Merseyside Derby. Goodison might be my favourite game of the year. No better place to turn up and crow about being the best in the land. Their bitterness really...
WELL now. That was no barrel of laughs, was it? It’s alright to get beat. But the manner of the defeat isn’t marvellous and the sheer lack of composure is puzzling. If I say Liverpool didn’t play like Champions it isn’t to criticise the effort;...
IT’S funny, init? How close these games are, can change in the blink of an eye. On top, flying, 3-0 down, should be 2-0 up. Salah against the post, Mane’s header. Numerous breaks come to fuck all, concentration goes to shit and you are fucked. Fuck me. These are...
