BURNLEY 0 LIVERPOOL 1

LET’S have a catch up. I’ve been banging on about being good in both boxes. Been banging on about how you can be great for 70 yards but what happens in front of goal defines results. Today, first half especially, Liverpool were second best, were dreadful,...

STORY OF THE BOOS #2: FIVE PLAYERS JEERED BY THE KOP

EVEN in the impatient world of modern football, Liverpool supporters around the world are still famed for their loyal, unswerving support. While in recent years a more sedate Anfield has homogenised with other Premier League crowds and the lines between supporters and...

LIVERPOOL: THE STORY OF THE BOOS

IT had been coming. Week by week, as Liverpool toiled to recapture even a hint of the form that brought a title so tantalisingly close, and as each dropped point saw pre-season expectation give way to a reality of spiralling bleakness, you could sense the frustration...

LIVERPOOL’S TRANSFER COMMITTEE: AN OVERHAUL

AFC BOURNEMOUTH 1 LIVERPOOL 3

OUR friend Neil Atkinson was quite scathing about the League Cup today. He essentially can’t be bothered with anything until we get the big one. I don’t think he has quite got over not winning the league to be honest. Have any of us? Have some of the...
