EURO TRASH: THE INQUEST #3

EURO TRASH: THE INQUEST #3

THE Champions League ‘experiment’ didn’t work then, did it? We unconvincingly won the opening game at home to the weakest team and went on to collect just two more points from the remaining five. In all honesty we were pretty lucky to head into the...
EURO TRASH: THE INQUEST #2

EURO TRASH: THE INQUEST #2

I’M getting bored of the recriminations. It’s easy to talk about whose fault this season is. It’s easy to talk about fixing it with knee-jerk sackings and ‘I never thought he was any good anyway’ tirades. Easy to point out the positions...

EURO TRASH: THE INQUEST #1

THE last time I cracked my fingers and wrote a little piece for The Anfield Wrap I was defending Brendan Rodgers’ team selection and the Reds’ performance in Madrid. It was a positive article backing the manager and trying to silence the naysayers. This...

NEW GROUND BORE

NEW GROUND BORE

TWO wins on the bounce. Ah yes, I remember this. Wins by two clear goals. Must be Christmas. Leicester City was great. A nice pub before the game, a load of mates going up, something called a ‘Morrissey burger’ beforehand and, in my case, a new ground. Hi, my name is...
