I HOPE you’re reading my preview a bit pissed and soaked with Christmas cheer. That way you’ll be kinder with me and my flow. I’m not sure exactly where I’m going with this other than to say it will be off somewhere near the deep end. Keeping it together at the moment...
IT teemed down. It bounced down. It danced down. And you’re damn right we danced. Fucking hell, that was glorious. And fucking hell it was. Mad Friday and a mad Friday night in Wolverhampton, possibly the best night out in Wolverhampton that has ever been had. A...
Alisson: 8 Makes a good save that looked like a shite save first 15 there, sneaky little deflection. Makes everything look a piece of piss. That chance where Robbo back heeled their lad in with five to go; he doesn’t save it, doesn’t need to, closed him down like a...
I DON’T know about you, but I’ve done a lot of looking at the table this week. Maybe it is the Christmas wind down where you don’t really do anything important, in a “fuck it, that’s 2019’s problem” kind of way. Or because,...
THERE’S something about a game on the edge of Christmas. Tensions are heightened in the best way. The seasonal context inexplicably enhances the sense of excitement. Maybe it’s because we allow ourselves to be lovingly brainwashed from a young age to associate...
ULTIMATELY it was only three points. However, it was also much more than three points as the smiles, the hugs and The Kop’s impromptu rendition of Wonderful Christmastime proved. Manchester United – and Jose Mourinho – had long since cemented a place in the...
SOMETIMES defeats are excusable. An unbeaten run is a wonderful thing. Another three points at the final blast of the ref’s whistle, even if you’ve had to hold on a bit. After a while though, there’s a marked difference between that first unbeaten result and the...
JAMIE Carragher made a point about patience during yesterday’s game. Around the hour mark, when The Reds were taking wild shots from all over the pitch, Carragher rightly pointed out that there was no need to panic and that, if the players kept their heads and stayed...
IT was almost mundane. It was simultaneously magic. Manchester United tragic. The form book didn’t go out of the window. It rarely does. Since Rafa Benitez arrived at Anfield, broadly speaking, Liverpool have got the results they should, given the seasons they...
HAHAHA. They are worse than us under Hodgson. Alisson: 7 Oh for fuck’s sake. Had hard lines for the goal there, catches it and hits his own legs and bobbles out. That said if that was Miggy I’d currently probably still be strangling him. In the changies, as...
