A SEASON that pulsed with vibrancy, excitement and expectation has reached a critical, depressing low. It feels like we’re getting everything wrong at the moment on and off the pitch. So many more questions than answers. Questions for the first time this season...

MY name’s Andrew, and I’m a statto, writes Andrew Beasley. It’s not always easy admitting that to football fans. The mainstream stat sites routinely churn out tweets featuring numbers without context that tell you little or nothing. The CIES...

YOU have to hand it to Chelsea; I think it’s actually possible that they have managed to break the entire Premier League. It really is quite an achievement on their part. We can take a look at ourselves and question things that we have done all we want, as can all of...

MY heart was broken, my heart was broken, Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, My heart was broken, my heart was broken, You saw it, You claimed it, You touched it, You saved it, My tears are drying, my tears are drying, Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, My tears...

I’VE seen this movie before, Reds, and it was shit the first three times. For those of you who have read the nonsense I’ve written on these pages for a while now, you might agree that it’s probably fair to say I’m generally at the upper end of the optimistic supporter...

A SHITE weekend then, all told. The Reds doing what they did in a manner that seemed all so preventable. A must-win, had-to-win, surely-will-win…lost. A real sickener. A gut punch. A game lost twice. The pain has been predictably piled on today. Arsenal winning with a...

I’M 36 today. Liverpool last won the league when I was nine. It’s hard to escape the crippling feeling that, at best, it next happens when I am 37. At best. Without sounding overly dramatic it is difficult to put into words how that second half felt. When...

SAKE, Liverpool. Simon Mignolet: 6 Didn’t really do anything wrong, or have much to do at all. Couldn’t do anything about the three goals. Kicking looks better if you want a positive. Nathaniel Clyne: 5.5 Covered well at times but was also caught out of...
