ARE you over Monday night yet? No, me neither. In my piece last week I wrote about how I only tend to let bad results upset for a day or so nowadays, but that one is still lingering. I’ve been trying to figure out why and I’m fairly certain it’s for three reasons. The...

THE thing that alarmed me most about Monday night wasn’t actually the fact that we lost 3-1 to a team who have been awful for months, we were odds-on to beat, and should have been having for breakfast, it was that we managed to play 90 minutes away from home, play...

SEVEN minutes in and Leicester have a corner. Mark Albrighton swings it in and it doesn’t come to anything, but that was when I started to mentally turn off from the game. Liverpool were going to lose. It wasn’t based on an incident or a goal, but it was a repeat, a...

THE issue isn’t losing. The issue is acquiescing to being dreadful. To not seeing any way to stop it. To being so tame. The issue isn’t even going 3-0 down. Well, it is a bit, but the issue is getting one back and never, ever, ever, ever, ever looking like...

TAW contributors with talking points straight from the ground after Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat to Leicester City. More Mignolet Mistakes Simon Mignolet do much wrong tonight? Backed off for the first? @jsexton24 Thought Mignolet was one of the few to emerge with...

HORRIBLY, painfully predictable, absolutely fucking shambolic. Again. If this is the reality then what’s the point? Simon Mignolet: 3 Two decent stops at 0-0, the fact he had to make two stops against the absolute shite show that are Leicester shows how fucking...

CLAUDIO Ranieri was sacked last night (at the time of writing). It is too obvious to state that this represents a disappointing state of affairs. That the figure head for as great an achievement as there has been in British sport should find that his team no longer...

THERE has been something distorting about what Chelsea have done so far this season. Something which has damaged perceptions across the division, especially within the other sides in the top six. The rate they have notched points up has left everyone else searching...

ON Monday February 13, I received an email from Neil Atkinson; could I do the second ever recording of the new AFQ Football podcast at 5pm that night? Obviously I said yes, I’ll say yes to anything that sounds like it’s going to be interesting and enjoyable. And then...
