Sat in the office yesterday chatting the worst Friday wham you can imagine when my colleague Gareth Roberts piped up about the Watford game at the start of the season feeling like ages ago and he had a point, but maybe not in the way he might have meant. Is 217 days...
FOR some reason which currently escapes me, I’ve ended up watching the match in the depths of the Cambridgeshire Fens in a gaff called The Shed, with this poster on the wall: Now lads, before we get started, if I’m going to be able to watch the game here we need to...
A GAME of football broke out. An intriguing one. I mean it is crap to lose and that. We’ll come back to that in a second. But it was intriguing. Take all the nonsense out of it — all the canal gear — what we saw was a very good Liverpool side who...
HOW many times have you seen that first half there. What is it? The pitch? The ground? The referee? Answer, probably all of the above. We need a massive, big think about how we manage games when we go one down. Heads went. Collective heads. Forcing it left, right and...
THIS is the eighth Champions League game at Anfield this decade. For all the talk of maybe staying in the pub, of maybe there being something else to do: the eighth. It’s 2018. The average has been one a year. At the end of last season, Jürgen Klopp said this is...
Pre Match THIS is all but sorted, isn’t it? The amount of spares knocking about you would think these aren’t bothering sending a team tonight and are putting out 10 bottles of Superbock with a piri-piri chicken in goal. Let me take you back, circa 2003, to a...
SO there’s Rafa Benitez there, looking all managerial and important. What a man. Have a lovely big reminisce about them mad days with that mad crazy, needly bastard in charge of us. While you are doing that have a lovely big think about the now and have a look at...
CALL it run of the mill; it’s the thing that’s easy to say. Just a run-of-the-mill home victory. Pre match we’re in The Hole In The Wall and this bloke comes over and points to three fellas and says that these lads have come from California and had...
Pre Match WHAT’S your favourite Davie Moyes moment? There’s plenty to choose from in fairness. I was a big fan of his half-time team talk in the FA Cup semi when he swallowed his undies and Big Andy Carroll lolloped that header rar in. Or his leaving doo from the...
WATCHING this Liverpool side step it up should take your breath away and we should have been left breathless at the start of the second half. Should. I’m worried a little bit. Worried we are taking for granted how good this side is, treating emphatic wins and...
