Seems that all I ever watch these days are renovation shows and football. After clocking in more hours than I care to admit on HGTV, I’m confident in saying that this Liverpool side are a work in progress. The foundation might be there, the walls are going up but we need some finishing touches to [...]

Another hard way or the highway victory and Liverpool are through to the Europa League Group stages after a nervy fight to the finish in ever so welcoming Turkey. We haven’t beaten a Turkish team at home since Jesus Christ was a small boy and by half time I thought we were going to continue [...]

I said this one was going to be boring but what the fuck do I know about the football anyways? A trio of holding midfielders for the home side and Man City record their biggest win over Liverpool, 3-0, since 1937. Sheik Mansour came out for the first time to see a team he’s spent [...]

I wanted nothing less than a win and by God, I got one. It was an extremely hard fought, tentative one but a tick under the W column none the less. Despite playing a side that very few were even aware of before the draw, the TRABZONSPOR weren’t playing the part of pushover so many [...]

Now that was a little too simple, wasn’t it? I hate to put it down to inferior, although persistent, opposition but that was a tale of two sides.

Serious doubts were expressed before opening our European campaign in friendly old Macedonia but a 2-0 scoreline against Rabotnicki and new boss Roy Hodgsons first win in the Liverpool dugout brings some much needed relief. What basically [...]

Thank God it’s over. I can’t believe I dragged myself out of bed for that drivel. The perfect way to end the perfect season. Goalless draw with a team that’s taking the fast track down the tube. At some points I forgot which one of us was getting relegated. I’m pretty sure the Hull supporters [...]
