EXACTLY one year ago, if you picked up the papers as a Red, or clicked on something about Liverpool online, it didn’t make for easy reading. The Reds had been on the end of a 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham Hotspur and the boots were flying in on a side that sat ninth in...
FAITH is a funny thing, isn’t it? The Reds are the best Reds I have seen in probably my whole adult life and here I am as the team news drops, with my undies in my throat, wishing I was one of them grey fellas who liked nothing. I mean, the team has the look of one...
LIVERPOOL answered a few questions and raised a few new ones at the John Smith’s stadium. Jürgen Klopp was the manager who rotated the most last season in the Premier League, but we haven’t seen anywhere near as much of that this campaign. That all changed...

I TELL you what. They fucking love Kasabian in Leicester, you know. Like not just love them, proper freedom of the city shit. Like these are gods among men. The gods of the middle. Gods of skinny jeans, and silly sideys. The gods of pork chops. Fair doos to them. Any...
Jürgen Klopp reacted to Liverpool’s Champions League group stage draw in his pre-Leicester press conference and hinted at the need for rotation with an important run of games to come after the international break. First though, it is Leicester and joining Josh...
