I’M away for this. On holiday. Feels a bit mad to be away at this most crucial phase of our season, but we are where we are. Watching football alone in bars in warmer places is a guilty pleasure of mine, though. I’m at peace with it. My sons kick off whenever I book...
Everything is emotional. Everything hurts. Everything feels fabulous. Every song I write’s about you. After 30 minutes I was glad you weren’t there. Glad you weren’t putting up with it. Glad you weren’t watching Liverpool’s first, second...
Southampton Half time. Fuck me with a fucking big shiny shovel. Southampton Full time. Fuck me with a big shiny shovel. Alisson 7/10 Nothing to do first half but open his mouth in disgust at the shit show happening in front of him. Nothing to do second half except...
“FUCKING hell mate, your full backs are good.” A text message sent to me from my Spurs-supporting friend at full time last Sunday. I initially took it as a general pleasantry, until I put myself in his depleted shoes following a torrid last-minute defeat. What had he...
IS there a noun for feeling simultaneously excited at the prospect of an event and yet dreading it in equal measure? The Germans surely have such a word. This is all Liverpool games for me now. This my life. It is hard, without the benefit of hindsight, to appreciate...

JÜRGEN Klopp did his pre-Southampton press conference a day early today. He was inevitably asked about the form of Mo Salah. That’s what happens I suppose when your superstar forward hasn’t scored in eight games. It’s going to get attention. As ever,...
“TAKE a walk around my centre half, gentlemen. He’s a colossus.” That was Bill Shankly’s famously declaration when the media first clapped eyes on Ron Yeats in a Liverpool kit back in 1961. Shanks was keen on an exaggeration, but Yeats went on to prove the...
I READ the news today, oh boy. Seriously though, have you read it? And I don’t mean the April Fools stuff. Try the football. It’s glorious. This game brings with it many joys, and few are as good as a probably undeserved, and definitely very lucky, last-minute own...
TRANSCENDENT. Here’s the scene. Last season in this fixture late in the game, Mo Salah went around their whole side and finished beautifully. It went off. It meant nothing. Both there and then and in the bigger picture. This season he just keeps it alive back...
