ONE of them, isn’t it? A game we’ve seen a million times before but, actually, far less frequently of late than you’d maybe appreciate, but still too often to mention. That you knew on the hour mark, probably earlier, that we were going to get fuck all, where do we...
Pre Match YOU can’t look at them teams and think anything other than a Reds win is in the post. I mean, The Reds are boss, aren’t we? That Liverpool side is the same one that beat Manchester City except we are causally dropping in Big Virg and his giant’s body...
IT’S always grounds for concern when my excitement about The Reds begins to go off the register. I was getting silly on the back of all of those wins over Christmas. I was developing a nervous twitch and smiling so much that people were worried I’d had a stroke. After...

IT must be a strange lot being a professional footballer. Particularly at the high end. I’m always intrigued to know what they really mean and think when they sign for new teams and ubiquitously proclaim that they want “to win trophies and titles” in their...
THERE are many perfect football matches. Football matches where you wouldn’t change a thing, not a jot. Football matches you’d relive at the drop of a hat, have every detail be the same. The groundhog match. Some of those matches are because The Reds are...
HAPPY New Year, everyone! And isn’t it just the happiest of New Years when you go to play Burnley just 48 hours after a hard-fought win against Leicester, make seven changes, including missing probably your two best players, don’t play all that well and yet still come...
