SO is this just what we do now? Thousands of scousers taking over a European city, painting it red, drinking it dry and making it dance to the tune of Dirty Old Town or one of the other modern classics. The lads on the pitch doing the business. Them doing it for us....
WELL, somebody’s got to say it… That was not a great Liverpool performance. Not for me, Clive. Great result, deserved result, decisive result. Such a great result that you can tell me that the performance doesn’t matter, tell me to stop being a grumpy old man, tell me...
ABSOLUTE scenes. The big one we have all been waiting for. Liverpool’s win means everything. It means they can be the best team in Europe. It means they can be the best team you have ever seen. The expectations should no longer be managed because this was the...
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...

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...
A LONG time ago, back in the days of holding a season ticket in the old Main Stand, I had the misfortune of being stationed in front of a miserable bloke who had a serious problem with Patrik Berger. The Czech international created a hearty highlights reel of...
LIVERPOOL go 0-1 down in the wind and the hail and you wonder if they are going to break. It’s cycling up a mountain, a Tour de France stage with yellow jerseys and polkadot tops, loons running alongside the bikes. Cycling up a mountain and teeth are gritted,...
I’M saying that is The Reds’ best win of the season. It’s not an understatement to say that the weather all but tipped the balance in favour of them. Balls in the air were a coin toss, the wind was howling in some bits of the pitch, but not others. If Burnley...
