I’LL always be asked by my non-Liverpool supporting mates (of whom I have a worryingly high number): “How many Premier League titles have Liverpool won?” That is to say, I’ll always be asked that question until Liverpool actually win one. I say “until”, because it’s...
A new Premier League season has begun, but very often the more things change, the more they stay the same. Watford have had a rare summer of stability and were rewarded for it by a routine home win. John Gibbons and Mo Stewart chat to Bradley Hayden about seeing more...
“MILNER’S a phenomenon, a guy with big balls…” That was Manuel Pellegrini back in March 2015, quite literally talking bollocks. Three years and five months later, the Chilean was reminded of just how big James Milner’s are. Significantly more so than Jack...
Our first Review proper of 18/19 has a 4-0 Liverpool win to talk about. We break down the approaches of the two sides and talk through how Liverpool isolated the wide areas and built two mini teams capable of overloading West Ham across the course of the game. We talk...

Top of the tower, top of the hour, albeit a bit late, The Rider is back with tales of weekends long gone and lost, stories of kindness and a Man Called Steve. The full team are around and about and Neil Atkinson and John Gibbons have obviously been on their travels....
WEST Ham United were quite good for 45 minutes. They looked a side capable of upsetting the odd applecart. They weren’t upsetting this one. Liverpool had other ideas. The Reds were irresistible from about 15 minutes in and they were not to be denied. They...
THAT was a summer, weren’t it? What have you been up to? I’ll be honest, I’ve tried to swerve The Reds, there; I haven’t seen a minute of pre season, didn’t really get involved in all the transfer voyeurism, just sort of lived for a bit, which was sound. It meant...
