IT’S a good time to be playing Derby. The mighty Rams have scored just two goals all season and are not quite their usual indomitable selves. Excellent. We smell sheep’s blood. We will feast on their lambs. I’m bang up for a game like this. Feel’s like a nice little...

WHATEVER day or time the football is I’m itching from the time I wake up. Rob Gutmann says it’s called a match day for a reason, and he is right. It consumes the day. Not just the football, of course, but how you are getting there. Who you are meeting and...

Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1, but managed to make it as nervy as they possibly could in doing so. The heart rate wasn’t at a safe level for much of that. Here’s how it went, though. 18.28: Before the match it was revealed that Roberto Firmino wouldn’t...

IT’S the Reds first mad Friday night matchday of the season and as such there’s not actually much going on, as everybody sits and waits for the match to get underway. We’ll cover everything that has happened here for you, though, so read on. Sounds...

JÜRGEN Klopp never goes into any football game accepting a point. You’ve seen that in the performances at Manchester City, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund last season. Even when we’re pinned back, it’s not the way he wants to play. He wants to come out and be on the...
