A draw was probably a fair result. A draw isn’t actually a bad result. But you are allowed to win when you don’t deserve to. You are allowed to win at tough places. Liverpool don’t know how to do either. They also don’t know how to hold on to a...
THE 225th Merseyside Derby then. Got to be honest, I haven’t got a clue how it’s going to pan out, my head’s a bit done in with The Reds at the moment. It’s funny, though, how confident some Blues are about bagging their first win over us since...
GOODISON is something of a guilty pleasure for me. I don’t like to say it out loud too often but it’s a ground with a wonderful feel to it. I like the way it smells. That’s the timber not the Blues. It’s a living museum. One of the last links to another age of...
THIS takes me back to February 1986. I’m walking to the ground with my mate Chee on our way to watch Liverpool and Manchester United play out a 1-1 draw. It was the day of the gas attack thing, and it was all about to kick off in the Main Stand car park, but at the...
NEIL Atkinson is joined by Mat Kendrick from the Birmingham Mail to talk about Aston Villa and by Dave Downie from Citytalk to talk about, well, Tim Howard mostly. A bit of Everton too. But Tim Howard. Oodles of Howard. Endless Howard. Still got three years on his...

GREAT bit of video this. Great kits — check out the collars on the Everton shirts — great saves — see Bruce Grobbelaar from Graeme Sharp and a familiar face in the opposition line up in Steve McMahon. It’s the Goodison derby on this day 33...
THE Reds beat Everton 3-1 at Anfield in the 203rd Merseyside Derby nine years ago today. It’s a game that always comes up in conversation, this derby, mainly because of the Evertonians in the Anfield Road celebrating like they’d won the World Cup. What had...
NEIL ATKINSON was joined by Paul Johnson, John Gibbons and Rob Gutmann on this week’s podcast after the worst Derby in living memory. The lads also talk Spurs with Paul Duhaney from Africa Oye. Like what we do? Buy us a pint! DIRECT LINK – The Nothing...
WALKED in. Told emphatically how I stink of booze. That said the Reggie Watts number from 45:33 reimagined for LCD Soundsystem’s last ever gig was playing. Swings and roundabouts therefore. If that could soundtrack almost everything I ever do that would be...
