CALL it run of the mill; it’s the thing that’s easy to say. Just a run-of-the-mill home victory. Pre match we’re in The Hole In The Wall and this bloke comes over and points to three fellas and says that these lads have come from California and had...
IN a surprisingly relaxed press briefing earlier this week, and with the return of Rafa Benitez on the horizon, Jürgen Klopp was predictably asked his opinion on a man still held in the highest regard by most Liverpool fans. And the German couldn’t have been more...
“Rafa, Rafa… “Rafa, Rafa… “Rafa Benitez… “Xabi Alonso, Garcia and Nunez.” Fucking Antonio Nunez. Remember him? The makeweight in the deal that took Michael Owen to Madrid. He scored a goal for Liverpool Football Club and...
FOOTBALL’S a bit of a mad one, isn’t it? The tricks it can play on you, the anxieties it can bring out despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the way it’ll make you reach for straw of despair and yet keep you hoping for the impossible. I’m not having it...

LIVERPOOL have been on their holidays. Jürgen Klopp’s recipe for reducing fatigue and stress on over-worked limbs is to win first legs of Champions League ties 5-0. It’s a natty trick. Liverpool Football Club may have a home fixture against Porto to come on March 6,...
THE South Coast Everton 0 Liverpool 2. The Reds went into this afternoon’s game with the knowledge that a win would well and truly ensure second place is all of our business, and they delivered against a side who love a “boo” so much at the mere sight of...
MAD what happens when your goalkeeper isn’t a nervous wreck, permanently looking over his shoulder, isn’t it? A clean sheet and a 2-0 away victory with a game-affecting save in a decisive moment. I felt sorry for Loris Karius last week against Tottenham Hotspur. A...
