“If you can’t make decisions in life, you’re a bloody menace. You’d be better becoming an MP.” ON a day when the great Bill Shankly has been the subject of much discussion amongst the Liverpool faithful, this particular quote felt quite apt in the...
FOOTIE, mate. How often does a referee listen to a linesman? They are absolutely the mings of the footie world. Imagine being that unsure of your own ability that you defer to a skinny fella who can’t ref a game, can’t control a game, can’t make a decision. Fucking...
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR are a very decent side. Our encounter with them on Sunday is the 22nd match we have played since they beat us 4-1 at their temporary home of Wembley Stadium back in October. There’s been an ocean flow under a bridge since then. Spurs arrive to...

I’M not a million miles away from jibbing this footy business, to be honest. I saw something on Sunday morning that has shook me to my core, made me realign my priorities and basically realise that nothing really matters anymore. I was in a hotel, weren’t I? One of...
IT’S the end of the world as we know it. Liverpool falling. Falling, tumbling, spiralling, falling from grace. We’re marching on Melwood, Anfield and Boston. The torches are lit. We’re not doing it for ourselves, but for future generations. Is it just us? Or do all...
