THE Blues. The fucking Blues. And I guess that’s why they call them The Blues. I just cannot be arsed with them right now. And annoyingly, inevitably, they will be so invested in this weekend’s derby. Blues, blue men, blue people, you may well get your win, that win,...
Jürgen Klopp looked like a man with fire in his belly as he sat down to talk to the press ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Everton at Anfield this Sunday. Will that be a good omen for The Reds? Josh Sexton is joined by Craig Hannan, Ian Ryan and Mo Stewart to...
DESPITE a seemingly unstoppable march towards predictability at the top level of the game, it’s the unknown that keeps us interested. We might see eye-popping odds offered by bookies that say a team has next to no chance of achieving a result, or winning a trophy, yet...
THEY fucking love getting their hair cut in Watford, you know. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many barbers in one gaff in my life. About 10, in a row, all of them chocker. Mad that, isn’t it? Alisson: 7 Tried to pass one to Firmino at centre half first half but fucked...

I LIKE a bit of Watford. It’s a no-nonsense away. Not so close that you barely feel you’ve had a day out but far enough that it feels like going on a mission. I’m becoming fonder of aways the older I’m getting. When I was young it was all about Anfield. That was going...
ANDY Robertson. Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy Robertson. What a performance from the Liverpool left back, one man who is the very best of us. He does this thing second half when Liverpool are 2-0 up, when he is firmly man of the match, when he has set up Xherdan Shaqiri for...
WHOEVER is responsible for early kick offs needs to understand that they are absolutely shite. Every fucker is scrambling round like the clocks have gone forward three hours, the ground has moved to just outside Birmingham and they haven’t been to bed in a month. The...
‘YESTERDAY I got so old I thought that I would die…’ (In Between Days – The Cure, 1985) There are abiding clichés in football about “regret”. Usually trotted about before cup finals by managers and pundits. There’s always talk of “leaving nothing in...
