IT wasn’t the best Liverpool performance you’ve ever seen. No DVDs will be burned and few will seek out the ‘highlights’ today. There were 7,000 souls in Blackburn, Lancashire, but it wasn’t the best support from those congregated in the Darwen End either. There was...
ON the way to Blackburn, while sat in traffic (EVERYONE was sat in traffic), I checked the odds on the game. I like checking odds — much more than I like actual betting — as I think it gives an interesting indication of where heads are at. Who is fancied...
IT does rather feel like it’s just the FA Cup left for Liverpool now, making tonight’s quarter final replay a massive game for the club. Many will argue that we shouldn’t be needing to play a replay at all. Surely we should be beating Blackburn (and...

FRUSTRATING game. But it’s another game of football to look forward to so Phil Blundell will be pleased. We should win there…hopefully. Anyway. Some letters followed by a number you probably won’t agree with. SIMON MIGNOLET: 6 Was fine. Could have...
I’M going to get into the game. But three things I want to bang on about first. 1. Play The Semi Finals At Wembley……if you must. It’s a dreadful affair Wembley. The London night, fractured — the feeling everyone is having more fun. The...
NEIL ATKINSON, Mike Nevin, Andy Heaton and Rob Gutmann reflect upon possibly the most routine win of the season against Burnley before turning their attention to an FA Cup quarter-final against Blackburn Rovers. Stephen Langstaff – Sirens New single from the ex...
