THE beginning of the game is mad. Flip it. It’s the final in silhouette. And bear that in mind. Bear in mind that game, what they then do and what we do in a boiling Madrid. Half the ground misses it, still sitting down as their number 17 Sissoko dashes forward....
IT is really lovely beating them. They are horrible to play against. Fucking arguing over everything. Time wasting after a minute. Fucking Kane bouncing round alternatively diving and twatting people left right and centre. Got a mouth like a jack in the box. Fucking...
WE’RE at one of those junctures already. One of those proverbial fork-in-the-road moments. Last season we built a lead on City but once we allowed it to slip, the margin just withered as if it had all been so illusory. Liverpool had two spells last campaign in which...
THE International Slavery Museum may not be the most obvious place to start a piece for a football website, but stick with it. I’d been to the museum at Liverpool’s Albert Dock before, but not for a long time. Recently, I went there with my children. The stories...
THERE is never a shortage of talking points when it comes to Liverpool Football Club. While the current topics relate to court battles over kit sponsors and VAR controversies, there is an ever present which never fails to raise debate among Reds across the globe. The...
THREE of the goals are gorgeous. Drop dead gorgeous. Language struggles for the other, for Oxlade-Chamberlain and Liverpool’s second. There isn’t an aesthetic plus point it doesn’t score double in. There are two or three Shakespearean sonnets where...
THAT midfield, aye. I reckon there was a massive online storm beforehand. How the fuck isn’t he playing Henderson? And what the fuck is he doing playing Milner full back when it could be him, Henderson and Gini in the middle? The dream midfield? Fuck’s sake....
SOMETIMES, there’s no harm in admitting that the opposition just played better. It hurts and can only be said through gritted teeth, but it’s true. Liverpool v Man Utd is usually a war of attrition rather than an exhibition of pure football and Sunday’s bunfight was...
THERE was a glimpse of what life looks like without Mo Salah, afforded as a subplot to a very derby-esque derby at Old Trafford on Sunday. Of course it’s not the first game Salah has missed, but his absence felt like a very real void, perhaps for the first time....
IT didn’t feel like I thought it would. There was undoubtedly relief as Adam Lallana prodded in a late equaliser to retain Liverpool’s unbeaten start to the league campaign, but Jamie Carragher pulling out ‘Blue Steel’ as Gary Neville sank in his chair in...
