“FOURTH place isn’t a trophy.” A common phrase used to denigrate any team that finishes fourth and has the temerity to be happy about the fact. On an entirely related note, I’d like to wish the best of luck to Arsene Wenger in all his future endeavours. What an...
WHAT a day in May, what a sight to behold, what a team in Red, with a goalkeeper in yellow, being vastly superior all over the pitch. Everything beautiful. The sun shone on Anfield today and Anfield shone right back at it. The football was effervescent from Liverpool;...
SO, that’s that then. It wouldn’t be Liverpool unless we made it as dramatic as possible, or at least as dramatic as potentially needing a result on the last day when Champions League qualification could’ve been sewn up weeks ago. That Liverpool accomplished...
I DON’T like to start on a bit of a downer and that, but someone needs to do something about these referees, mate. That fucker Friend wants fucking legging out of the city boundaries, like fucking Thelma and Louise, but instead of a load of bizzies, it is Andy...

IT’S been a pretty low-key week for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah wins the PFA and Football Writers’ Player of the Year awards. Zeljko Buvac leaves his position as assistant manager, apparently temporarily. The Reds qualify for the Champions League final, and are...
LIVERPOOL versus AS Roma in the later legs of the chase for European football’s most cherished prize was always destined to be loaded with emotional baggage. While many on Merseyside celebrated what was perceived to be an ‘easy’ opportunity for progression on the...
ARSENE Wenger retiring. Alex Ferguson deeply unwell. That sort of Sunday. A Sunday that makes you think about these men in our game. It would be mad to not wish them both all the best, but dwell on the differences for a second. Both are tremendous football minds, both...
