It might be July and it just might be the Europa League but it’s smiles all around today. 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 [...]

A Season in Review or: This Epitaph is the Aftermath…

The horrible reality of suddenly being bottom of the barrel is, for some people, too much to take. They just don’t have the stomach for it. It’s one thing when it’s all happy times and smiles all around and a completely different one when your on the outside looking in. The top four. The big [...]
You May be Right, I May be Crazy…..

Last match of the season and nothing left to play for. Ownership issues, a manager that might be jumping jumping ship shortly and a swirling cloud of doom and gloom is exactly how a Sunday morning should be spent. If that doesn’t motivate me to exit my Gin induced stupor and jump right out of [...]
It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue…..

Vultures are circling overhead. Surely now, this is the end. A 2-0 reversal to Chelsea and our hopes of Champions League football is out without a peep. Gone with the wind. Uncertainty all around and I’m feeling like that kid that always gets lost in the Shopping Mall. Those boys from London have more or [...]
Bad Liver and a Broken Heart…..

If you think it was a matter of belief, just look at Aquilani’s face when he scored the opener and you’ll think again. There’s a chance you could put it all down to the fact that we didn’t have the heart but then you remember Yossi’s goal celebration in in extra time. You think maybe [...]
Confessions of a Hope Fiend…

Only 90 minutes left to save our blushes. An hour and a half to set this wretched season right. Our only chance at Silverware this season is a second tier competition that no one actually wants to play in. It’s been too long since there was a new addition to our trophy case. For all [...]
Off With Their Heads!

Poor Burnley. You have to respect a club who’s ballsy enough to play a 4-3-3 against the likes of Liverpool. Unfortunately, that strategy has pretty much got them to where they are: relegated. It was just a bad day to be a Claret. Absolutely nothing was going their way. Satistically speaking, the teams were pretty [...]
Hell’s Around the Corner…..

The doctor says I need to eat more fruits and vegetables. So, to placate my health care practitioner, I’m going to drink a quart of wine for lunch. Who am I to ignore the advice of a trained medical professional? After the scoreless draw today at Anfield, I don’t think even the good doctor would [...]
