FEELING SICK OF LIVERPOOL? NOT ANY MORE

ALMOST four years ago to the week, I wrote a blog post on my old Well Red blog entitled ‘Why I’m sick of being a Liverpool FC fan’. I wasn’t sick of the club – after a lifetime supporting it you can’t turn that off. It was just the actual being a match-going fan bit....

STICK YOUR BUSES UP YOUR A*SE

By David Segar I’VE written this a day later than I intended to because this is the first time I’ve been able to finally admit to myself that it actually happened. This Liverpool team, Brendan’s glorious bastards, it lost, actually lost, to THAT...

LET’S GET ANGRY

AS The Kop poured into the streets with leaden shoulders and a collective stooped gait, a lone voice roared above the hubbub. ‘Libpool, Libpool – top of the league. Libpool – top of the league.’ It was an act of defiance. It spoke of a heart...

LIGHT v DARK

by Dave Martinez  ‘It appears to me that the dark has a lot more territory’ THE final scene of the phenomenal HBO drama True Detective sees Woody Harrelson’s character – Marty Hart – utter that sentence with a resigned, pessimistic tone as he looks up at...

Vive la différence

Vive la différence

SIX to go. The last bend navigated and we’ve straightened up for the finish. The destiny of the title in our hands. This is different; very different. Rewind to a year ago. The 2012-13 Liverpool FC will forever be damned by black and white statistics. When people,...
SPURRED ON BY THE DOUBTERS

SPURRED ON BY THE DOUBTERS

SHERWOOD wasn’t the only one. We bristled with indignation at the very suggestion. Asked who he was, with his comedy cob ons and misplaced arrogance, to question Liverpool’s title credentials. Brendan Rodgers spoke publicly to turn the tables back on a club that had...
Liverpool 4 Tottenham Hotspur 0

Liverpool 4 Tottenham Hotspur 0

WHEN the final whistle went in The Excelsior last night after City/Arsenal all I heard was people saying to each other: “It’s in our hands. It’s in our hands.” Today we grabbed it. Seized it. Knuckles white, grip tight. In our hands. We are Top...
