Pre Match Alright gang. You probably hadn’t noticed but I didn’t do the ratings on Saturday against Southampton and I didn’t half miss it. So, to make it up to myself I have been scoring stuff, everyday stuff, out of 10. It’s well better than, say, not scoring stuff....

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...

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...
