“LIES, damn lies and statistics.” I first heard that phrase in my A-Level maths class while, ironically, studying statistics (my teacher was the funniest Evertonian I’ve ever met, whose teaching style was to treat his students like adults and let us...

I THOUGHT this was going to be my glorious return. Where I get to wax lyrical about footballers with hilarious ditties after a wonderful victory. Instead the Reds were a gang of dickheads. Almost like they did it on purpose. Fuck off, Liverpool. Loris Karius: 3 Feels...

SINCE my dad did his fatherly duty and ensured that I cared more about watching football than I did watching cartoons (“You’re 27 for fuck sake!”), I have suffered plenty of heartache. In fact, as my morning has largely been spent trying to figure out just who the...

I’M typing this before kick-off on Sunday morning on the hottest train in Europe to watch the Mighty Reds in town. You forget that during a season like this one every game becomes massive. A must win game. The nerves creep up on you from nowhere. On Saturday I...

THERE are nights when I am jealous of those who can come to massive conclusions. I just don’t have it in me after that. If you want big bold criticisms, I probably have this one: Liverpool aren’t aggressive enough at 0-2 and 1-3. They don’t do enough...
