“LIVERPOOL Football Club would like to thank you for your continued support.” You’ve got to give it to the fella on the tannoy, he’s definitely got sarcasm nailed. Another famous European Night under the lights at Anfield? Do me a fucking favour. The power...

NIL-nil half time. Three-nil full time. The first half is turgid. Are you surprised? Were you angry? Don’t be angry. You are better than that. Regardless, if you are a half-decent football team and you got carved apart time and again — it’s worth...

TWO home games where the away side park the bus sees a 6-0 aggregate win with plenty to spare. Not least two penalty misses. This side must be doing something right. Regardless of the opposition. Everything isn’t all rosy in the garden yet, but winning is more...

WE’RE nearly there. Can you feel it? The weather getting colder, the clocks have gone back. Not Christmas, but madness. Fixture madness. It comes ever closer. Within 37 days ending on January 1st, every Premier League team is playing 10 league games....

IMAGINE if Liverpool won the European Cup again. It seems such a far off possibility as we contemplate not turning makeweights Maribor into a bad season-defining banana skin of an opponent. We don’t trust our Reds much these days. We’re not sure which incarnation...

A STROLL? A side put to the sword? An enjoyable game for Liverpool? It’s the last thing I hope that Liverpool focus on in the dressing room, on the plane, on the training pitch. How enjoyable it was to play, and create, and score. And score. We can want them to...

Liverpool more than find a way against Maribor; instead they dominate and the final result of 0-7 doesn’t flatter them or anyone in that eleven. Joining Neil Atkinson to talk through it are Paul Senior and Dan Morgan. It was a stroll for The Reds but it was that...

REMEMBER when Marc Overmars scored from a Nwankwo Kanu cross to knock Sheffield United out of the FA Cup to a nation’s disgust? Fucking great, wasn’t it? While Maribor might be no great shakes, you can only beat what it’s in front of you and Liverpool showed a...

Pre Match JUST switched on as their team was flashing up on BT. It would appear that they are playing a ’60s soul band upfront, so let’s hope Heaven is indeed missing an angel and it is wearing burnt orange or whatever the fuck colour our kit is. It’s also a...

WE’RE not back but we will be soon. A bit of trust is required. Liverpool are a good team playing as well as it can, absent the confidence and concentration that only winning brings. One win in eight games sounds bad. It is bad. But if there’s a way to be as good as...
