A SHITE weekend then, all told. The Reds doing what they did in a manner that seemed all so preventable. A must-win, had-to-win, surely-will-win…lost. A real sickener. A gut punch. A game lost twice. The pain has been predictably piled on today. Arsenal winning with a...

I’M 36 today. Liverpool last won the league when I was nine. It’s hard to escape the crippling feeling that, at best, it next happens when I am 37. At best. Without sounding overly dramatic it is difficult to put into words how that second half felt. When...

SAKE, Liverpool. Simon Mignolet: 6 Didn’t really do anything wrong, or have much to do at all. Couldn’t do anything about the three goals. Kicking looks better if you want a positive. Nathaniel Clyne: 5.5 Covered well at times but was also caught out of...

AS I write this it’s 9.30am on Wednesday. The Liverpool team and coaching staff will be on their way to Plymouth for tonight’s match, but I don’t care. I know loads of people do and that’s fine. I didn’t want us to actively lose, I just didn’t care one way or the...

SATURDAY night I was DJing with Steve Graves for The Cheap Thrills EP Launch at The Shipping Forecast. It was a brilliant night, not least because of the wonderful DJs on show. It was rammed and boisterous and everyone wanted to celebrate after. I was encouraged by...

I FAIL to see it as being up for debate in any way, shape, or form but the current Liverpool side is not performing at anywhere near the level of the Liverpool side of the Autumn. This Liverpool side hasn’t quite got its edge, it isn’t attacking with the same fluency,...

I STARTED writing this when I got back from the pub on Sunday night. I was drunk. I greeted my wife and went straight in with an “I’m bevvied” admission. It’s a tactic I’ll often use in those situations, when I’ve arrived home...
