When a team can tell a player like Robinho to just leave, you know they’ve got some cash. I guess that’s what it’s like to be at Manchester City these days. I think back to when they first got bought out and I was actually kind of happy for them. They had money to spend [...]

Liverpool talisman Steven Gerrard will lead out England in their first test against the United States. Whether this will be a permanent gig throughout the World Cup remains to be seen as we wait on word as to the extent of the injury to Rio Ferdinand’s knee. After completing an abysmal club campaign last season and losing [...]

Five years ago and now it all seems like a dream. One glorious evening, one never to be forgotten. Legends, each and every one of them. Written into Scouse forklore, memories engraved into the hearts of Kopites everywhere. The utter disbelief of the first half, the awe inspiring feat of the second and the glorious [...]
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 [...]

We’re down to the last two matches of this wretched season and I’m about ready to say goodbye and good riddance. It’s hard to find positives after our Europa League exit on a fuckin’ technicality but tomorrow is another match and the chance to end the season with a bang. Galvanized under Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea [...]
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 [...]

There’s a rush to European nights like no other. The electricity in the air, the roar of the Kop, the excitement of the announcers, the anxiety of the players. Really, nothing compares. With your back against the wall and a win the only result that matters, Lord knows this must be what Meth feels like. [...]

Well, my Easter is ruined. How about yours? Another predictable draw with the Brummies when it could have been so much better. Sharing the spoils wouldn’t be so bad if we weren’t in such an unfortunately horrible position but at this point we have no chance for excuses. To be quite honest, it wasn’t even [...]
