MY pre-game action was a show there, today. Decorating, left it too tight to get ready to get out anywhere, my electric shaver ran out of juice mid use, so watched the first half like a fucking mental case, half a shaved head, half a baldy wool accountant head. Blame...
LIVERPOOL’s 5-1 win at Brighton last winter was one of my favourite games of the Jürgen Klopp era. The Reds were unbelievable that day. It rained goals. So many, that I missed two going for pisses. I didn’t care though. It was a joyous afternoon and an indicator...
DANIEL Sturridge and Divock Origi have scored the two most important goals of Liverpool’s Premier League season so far. However, they may prove to be their parting shots. Sturridge’s stunning late equaliser at Chelsea in September rolled away a stone. It was the...
FOOTBALL clubs have a complicated relationship with their supporters. They basically profit from the levels of intensity. Someone being a Liverpool “supporter” is one thing. But the term we all prefer is “fan”, which is short for...
IT was a brilliant 2018 for Liverpool. The first half saw them reach the Champions League final in thrilling fashion, while the second half was made up of charging to the front of the Premier League pack. A week into 2019 and they’ve suffered two defeats, one to their...
WE’LL get to the young lad. Liverpool picked a team who looked like they had never played together before. Wolverhampton Wanderers picked a team who knew exactly what their jobs were. God, could you tell. In the first half especially, you could tell. Barely a...
JESUS Christ. That first half was pretty bad, weren’t it? Second half weren’t much cop either, mind you. Aye Aye Big Si: 5 I mean, I don’t know. Spent years watching him not be at fault for goals but never making a one-on-one save. The opposite of what you want in a...
I’D like to have ice in my veins. I’d like to be able to say we should just treat this year’s FA cup with total disdain. Many years ago though, that competition was good to me and it was good to Liverpool Football Club. Bill Shankly isn’t Bill Shankly...
SO, we’re still top. And it seems they still don’t like it. In the buildup to yesterday’s media-driven hyperbole of a “title-deciding” game at the Etihad Stadium, which it never at any point was, sections of passionately timorous social media tribes were collectively...
GETTING beat hurts. It is rubbish. Hold that close, Reds. Remember that pain. Four clear. Seventeen games to go. Arsenal and City completed. You’d have taken it at the moment when Virgil van Dijk slices the ball towards Jordan Pickford’s goal, by god...
