THE issue isn’t losing. The issue is acquiescing to being dreadful. To not seeing any way to stop it. To being so tame. The issue isn’t even going 3-0 down. Well, it is a bit, but the issue is getting one back and never, ever, ever, ever, ever looking like...

TAW contributors with talking points straight from the ground after Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat to Leicester City. More Mignolet Mistakes Simon Mignolet do much wrong tonight? Backed off for the first? @jsexton24 Thought Mignolet was one of the few to emerge with...

HORRIBLY, painfully predictable, absolutely fucking shambolic. Again. If this is the reality then what’s the point? Simon Mignolet: 3 Two decent stops at 0-0, the fact he had to make two stops against the absolute shite show that are Leicester shows how fucking...

CLAUDIO Ranieri was sacked last night (at the time of writing). It is too obvious to state that this represents a disappointing state of affairs. That the figure head for as great an achievement as there has been in British sport should find that his team no longer...

ON Monday February 13, I received an email from Neil Atkinson; could I do the second ever recording of the new AFQ Football podcast at 5pm that night? Obviously I said yes, I’ll say yes to anything that sounds like it’s going to be interesting and enjoyable. And then...

I woke up at 7.50am on Saturday. Annoying that, isn’t it? You moan about getting up early all week for work and then you wake up on a Saturday at the same time anyway. Now I know what you might be thinking. “7.50am isn’t early, I’m up at 6am...

THIS is one of those articles that will definitely be retweeted back to me when Liverpool finish sixth. There, I’ve acknowledged the fact. That should take care of any risk of jinx… but hang on, by acknowledging it does it now become re-jinxed? Can you even re-jinx...

“THE team has a bad attitude.” The team loses against a so-called lesser side and the so-called pundits are queueing up to say that the defeat was caused by the “team” having a bad attitude. The same team then draws with the league leaders, coming very close to...

A FOOTBALL match, a tale of two teams, profoundly decided by one half. This isn’t to say the second half isn’t important. This isn’t to undo those efforts. Those necessary efforts. This isn’t to act like all that running round was irrelevant....
