MAD the way they played The Vengaboys when the scored. Mad fuckers. Alisson: 7 Stood up well when they were in at 1-1. Did he have anything to do apart from be the best passer of the ball on the pitch? Trent: 7 They were trying to get after him all first half. They...
WE’VE been in Munich since Monday night and very much enjoyed what it has to offer. I’m on pretzels, many. Sausages, many. Beers as big as my head, very, very many. Sleep, not so much. But today the serious business starts. It can be possible on a European...
IT’S a funny old game. After the media had spent the week laughing at Jürgen Klopp for mentioning the wind as a factor in Liverpool’s 0-0 draw at Everton, it was somewhat ironic that they spent this weekend going “blimey, the wind’s affecting things a bit here”....
IN 1981, Liverpool went to Munich having drawn 0-0 in a first leg at Anfield in a European Cup semi final. Liverpool weren’t fancied. Liverpool weren’t playing well that season. The German side were confident. I was 14 in 1981 and I was having a difficult time too. I...

I SOMETIMES wonder what we’re all in this for. Will most of us ever be happy? Is there really any meaning to any of this? What is the fucking point? Those questions have been more prominent watching a Liverpool title challenge from afar and witnessing the amount of...
I’M always surprised when a footballer answers back. I’ve only experienced it a couple of times. Whether that was an ex-Liverpool player who muttered the word “prick” to a disgruntled and annoying Paddock regular who felt the need to constantly tell him he wasn’t very...
Bad things, It’s a lot of bad things, That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’, They wishin’ on me, Yeah, yeah, Bad things, It’s a lot of bad things, That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and...
