Pre Match The team has dropped, as have jaws all over the world. Big Si the Mig is captain. I’m not a million miles away from going for a nice big walk and adding my season ticket to the river of flames. I genuinely, honest to the good lord on high, couldn’t think of...

NIL-nil half time. Three-nil full time. The first half is turgid. Are you surprised? Were you angry? Don’t be angry. You are better than that. Regardless, if you are a half-decent football team and you got carved apart time and again — it’s worth...

TWO home games where the away side park the bus sees a 6-0 aggregate win with plenty to spare. Not least two penalty misses. This side must be doing something right. Regardless of the opposition. Everything isn’t all rosy in the garden yet, but winning is more...

A strange afternoon at Anfield. Once which for some reason was just a little odd. I think it is that football matches are always in context. Liverpool matches possibly even more so. Picture it – This under Houllier. A typical home performance with a bonus goal....

Today was the day for Jurgen Klopp to rip it up and start again. Calls for anyone centre half, and I mean anyone, other than Degsy Lovren and anyone with gloves (any gloves) in goal aside from The Mig were being lashed about all over the show. Kloppo, kept his cool,...

THEIR manager has had our manager’s kecks down there. I am going to talk about this for a while so brace yourselves. Their manager has absolutely had our manager’s kecks off. And that’s OK from the point of view of criticising our manager. That...

GAME intelligence: 0/10 Nouse: 0/10 Bollocks: 1/10 Fucking hell… Simon Mignolet: 1 Fucking hell. Absolutely shite for their first. Shithouse in the extreme where he dives out of the way. I do wonder how his face ended up so flat when he would never, ever dream...

A STROLL? A side put to the sword? An enjoyable game for Liverpool? It’s the last thing I hope that Liverpool focus on in the dressing room, on the plane, on the training pitch. How enjoyable it was to play, and create, and score. And score. We can want them to...

Pre Match JUST switched on as their team was flashing up on BT. It would appear that they are playing a ’60s soul band upfront, so let’s hope Heaven is indeed missing an angel and it is wearing burnt orange or whatever the fuck colour our kit is. It’s also a...

I’D have taken it. Before a ball was kicked I would have taken it. Both the manner of it and the eventual result. I’m not going to be mad about the fact that your Manchester United seemingly offered it. That is their business, not mine, and they will be...
