FEW things are certain in life. Only death, taxes, and people calling a Liverpool player a cheat if they are awarded a penalty. Mo Salah’s so-called “dive” at Cardiff on Sunday had many rival fans and media pundits fuming, bizarrely, even though they also mostly...
ONE of the best teams Pep Guardiola has seen in his life. A team that has bettered the Rafa Benítez side that clocked up 86 points and featured 24-goal Steven Gerrard, one of the best of our own. A group that has won more points than the Brendan Rodgers team that...
EIGHTY eight points. I whisper things the city sings them back to you. I am my age. I can’t argue with the facts on that one. I am my age. These lads have more points than anyone since 1988, at which point it was 90 points from 40 games. The 78-79 team were a...
OH. My. God. I mean, you can’t watch that fucking match and not think The Reds are not going to somehow win the league. We are fucking spawny, la. How hasn’t that lad scored? How hasn’t he scored? How hasn’t it at least hit his massive head and gone in instead of it...

DID you witness the sheer, unadulterated brilliance of that Barcelona performance on Tuesday night? Were you fortunate enough to see with your own eyes the unprecedented artistry of the genius called Lionel Messi? Did the earth move for you too? Not for me, Clive. Not...
LIVERPOOL beat Porto to get to the Champions League semi finals. They beat them 6-1 on aggregate. It is the fourth time in Liverpool’s history they have made back-to-back European Cup or Champions League semi finals. The fourth time. These are the good times,...
WENT to Portugal once. Room had no hot water. Jib it. Alisson: 8 Backs himself, like, doesn’t he? First minute, I’m him getting the ball to feet and I’m fucking head down, blammo, kicking it into the Atlantic. This fella is looking to play at every opportunity. Makes...
