I THOUGHT this was going to be my glorious return. Where I get to wax lyrical about footballers with hilarious ditties after a wonderful victory. Instead the Reds were a gang of dickheads. Almost like they did it on purpose. Fuck off, Liverpool. Loris Karius: 3 Feels...

LIVERPOOL’S second-half collapse at Bournemouth brought out the doom-mongers in force but what the 4-3 sucker punch means to the Reds’ season remains to be seen. Before the slump on the South Coast, Jürgen Klopp’s side were unbeaten for 15 games. The...

THE hours following a defeat are never pleasant, particularly after displays such as those final 15 minutes on Sunday. It’s a terrible thing to watch an inevitable act play out before your very eyes and, as Liverpool’s grip slipped from 2-3 to 3-3 to 4-3, there was an...
