THIS team. Playing against a fucking big squad of farmers and Stormy Daniels there and found a way. Not our day, no? Watch this then, you big windy cunt. Five to go or whatever. Wash your hands Reds, and don’t touch your face. Just lashed a bottle of Sol all over me...
SIX wins from a heaven so eased towards, it defies description. “What just happened”, as the kids say. Let’s spell it out. Liverpool topped a 97-point season with a 24 wins from 25 streak and stand on the precipice of immortality. Manchester City, reprised...
THERE’S not too much to connect the football clubs of Liverpool FC and Norwich City on the surface of things, or even the two cities they represent. There is a direct train between Merseyside and East Anglia if you fancy sitting through the five hours and 20 minutes...

THE arrival of the winter break in the calendar this year has coincided with my own getaway, and I’m remaining as true to it as Jürgen Klopp and his players. I’m currently in Costa Rica, staying with family in a lovely town called Atenas. We’re seven hours behind GMT...
