I WAS at a low ebb there before kick off. Specifically in ours all day. This shit doesn’t seem fair. I needed something, someone to get me back on track, some kind of affirmation as to why footy is the greatest thing in the world. Met the lads for four pints before...
LOSING 3-0 to Barcelona in the first leg of a Champions League semi final when arguably the better team… Lucky Scousers. Losing Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino ahead of the second leg… Lucky Scousers. Reaching 94 points in the Premier League with a game to...
A SEASON that has brought so much joy, a campaign of victory upon victory, of glorious football is now ebbing towards an ultimately sad conclusion. It shouldn’t be this way, but it just is. Defeat in the Nou Camp on Wednesday night was hard to take. Attempting to get...

WEDNESDAY evening sees Barcelona take on Liverpool in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi final. Inevitably, the thing that people are most curious about is, how will they deal with the best player in the world? To be honest, I have no idea. Barca are...
GOING away to follow your football club is always different and always special. However, some trips are more special than others. As Liverpool fans, we’ve been spoiled down the years, even during what we would regard as barren times. So many supporters of other teams...
Gareth Roberts is joined by Tony Barrett and Andy Kelly to relive Liverpool’s famous 2007 Champions League victory in the Nou Camp. The trip, the ground, Rafa Benítez’s tactics and the infamous golf-club incident are all discussed. To listen to our European Cup Semi...
Liverpool failed to capitalise on the previous weekends favourable results to lose their 10th game of the season, this time with a miserable display on the road to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex.
