THERE are many perfect football matches. Football matches where you wouldn’t change a thing, not a jot. Football matches you’d relive at the drop of a hat, have every detail be the same. The groundhog match. Some of those matches are because The Reds are...
HAPPY New Year, everyone! And isn’t it just the happiest of New Years when you go to play Burnley just 48 hours after a hard-fought win against Leicester, make seven changes, including missing probably your two best players, don’t play all that well and yet still come...
WHAT winning feels like. Soul soaring. Heart pounding. Vaguely nauseous. Made of fists, made of hips, made of fuck off. Just fuck off. It should always feel like that but so often it doesn’t. A combination between great football and a great scrap. Tonight these...
THAT win should not be underestimated at any cost. The thought of going to Burnley in two days absolutely needing something was enough to put you off the idea of seeing in a New Year altogether. But The Reds shook off an early setback, displaying tons of character, to...
NOT dissimilar to the aftermath of Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 4, what’s really important here is that 5-0 home wins don’t feel mundane. Shouldn’t feel mundane. Not now, not ever. To put it in context, in the whole of the 2006-7 season only once did...

QUITE the achievement a 3-3 draw against top six rivals where both sides come away disappointed. But Liverpool and Arsenal are second to none in delivering disappointment to their supporters in new and innovative ways. Fair play to them. A Merry Christmas to them and...
Pre Match THE teams have just dropped there and the idea that Liverpool won’t win this game has grown wings and fucked off into the fog. That is a seriously good Liverpool team, up against a team whose Kryptonite seems to be other teams attacking them. Lets hope they...
LIVERPOOL’S intensity was exceptional as they beat Bournemouth 0-4 this evening. Nil-four is a really rather rare scoreline and rightly so. To score four at any Premier League ground without reply takes a very good performance and that is exactly what Liverpool...
THESE took four points off us last year. You know what grates the most? Their manager’s trackie bottoms. Quite clingy, weren’t they? Remember being fuming about them. Anyway. Simon Mignolet: 7 Did well to stop a corner at the start of the second half. That was about...
