LIKE anything in life, so much of football is played out in the head. We expect miracles from players every time they take to the pitch but there are a million and one reasons why that can’t always be the case. Top of the list: footballers are human. Just like...

I’VE seen this movie before, Reds, and it was shit the first three times. For those of you who have read the nonsense I’ve written on these pages for a while now, you might agree that it’s probably fair to say I’m generally at the upper end of the optimistic supporter...

HERE are some funny things that happened on Saturday: 1) I’d been quite sensible on Friday night. I went to a brilliant gig, with Dream Wife being supported by Her’s and Haarm, but was tucked up in bed by 12am. It’s still a rush for a 12.30pm...

AFTER a season that has promised so much, a downturn in Liverpool’s results, coinciding with a hectic fixture schedule and the swinging open of the January transfer window, has led to many Reds calling for John Henry to crack open the chequebook and buy in some...

ON February 28, 2016 Liverpool played Manchester City in the League Cup final. Not being a season ticket holder it was only the third final I had managed to get a ticket for. I had never seen Liverpool lift any silverware in the flesh, after witnessing us get beat by...

A SHITE weekend then, all told. The Reds doing what they did in a manner that seemed all so preventable. A must-win, had-to-win, surely-will-win…lost. A real sickener. A gut punch. A game lost twice. The pain has been predictably piled on today. Arsenal winning with a...

I’M 36 today. Liverpool last won the league when I was nine. It’s hard to escape the crippling feeling that, at best, it next happens when I am 37. At best. Without sounding overly dramatic it is difficult to put into words how that second half felt. When...

SAKE, Liverpool. Simon Mignolet: 6 Didn’t really do anything wrong, or have much to do at all. Couldn’t do anything about the three goals. Kicking looks better if you want a positive. Nathaniel Clyne: 5.5 Covered well at times but was also caught out of...

LIVERPOOL have played this game a thousand times before. We have anticipated it with glee, but also with caution. We have watched it unfold, far too often, in the unlikely, and yet somehow ever so inevitable manner in which we feared. The question remains, do we do it...
