THE bar has moved. Once upon a time, supporters of Liverpool Football Club would worry when we dropped points because they imagined that every point was more important than it actually was. In reality, we could have won a title in 2015-16 with 82 points, allowing 32...
LIVERPOOL’S win at Crystal Palace last night felt significant. Not because of the weird narrative that Sky Sports wanted to peddle. They tweeted before the game “Can @LFC exact their revenge?” referring to the infamous 3-3 between the two teams at Selhurst Park...
THE season starts. God, you felt that, didn’t you? God you lived that, didn’t you? God you loved that, didn’t you? Didn’t you? What it is to be alive. Liverpool gave us that tonight. Being fair, so too did Crystal Palace. It was visceral...
HAD a boss ratings there, you know. Fucking boss one, on me phone, work in motion, type as you watch. Real-time shit. And then some mad fella come into The Croc and started asking everyone mad questions about whether they supported Liverpool or not on about 41 minutes...

ALL goalkeepers are mad. Let’s get that out of the way, first and foremost. They are all in some form absolutely insane and, in many ways, need to be for the occupation they have. A position which is the most isolated, in terms of a team game, ‘keepers by their...
HAS it all stopped yet? I really want it to have all stopped. If I want one side jumping on any tiny thing a man does and calling him a disgrace, whilst the other side blindly refuses to accept their hero can do anything wrong, I’ll just search for Jeremy Corbyn...
I’M excited. Excited and a little bit afraid, if I’m being completely honest. Excited that this could well be the best Liverpool team and squad that I have ever had the pleasure of watching in my entire adult life (which I count as 1998 onwards, for those who aren’t...
