SUNDERLAND was a tough one. Character required. I wanted nothing more than a nice day under the duvet watching films with my wife before we all went back to work. An alarm that said six something wasn’t exactly what I needed. I got up at 3:30pm after Manchester...
HAS everyone calmed down yet? It was heavy that, wasn’t it? It was always going to be a graft that game. Sunderland away, in the freezing cold, about half an hour after the Manchester City game finished, against a manager who is so negative in everything he does he...
SO it’s finally time for Sadio Mane (GBNF x) to leave us to join up with the Senegalese national team ahead of the 2017 African Cup of Nations. If things weren’t already feeling ominous post-social media head rolling in the aftermath of the 2-2 draw at Sunderland,...
SADIO Mane believes Liverpool will cope fine in his absence as he gets set to jet off to the African Cup of Nations. The Senegalese forward is the Reds’ current top scorer with nine goals — all scored in the league — but will now be away on international...

THERE is a scene in Paul Thomas Anderson’s best film Punch Drunk Love when the lead character played by Adam Sandler is embarrassed in a restaurant and then goes to the bathroom and absolutely kicks fuck out of it. He wallops it from pillar to post. He...
WE usually splice these on the end of The Friday Show. However, with the games thick and fast over the festive period, we’ve put this out as a standalone show. Huge thanks as always to Kevin Walsh, Ben McCausland and Mick Clarke for giving up their time to join...
SUCCESS is hell. Just awful. A terrible torture. Those lads who set out to scale Everest way back when, they knew what it was all about. “What would represent the most incredible achievement?” “Scaling that big fuck off mountain of course!”...
