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 [...]

From Liverpool to the Black Sea…..

You can already hear the doomsayers out in droves. Nothing makes those gits happier than a big black cloud and a always say die attitude. We’re on our way to Turkey and lining up against a team that put 3 goals past Fenerbahçe the day after we lost by 3 in Manchester. If you ever [...]

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. A 4-0 aggregate scoreline and Liverpool are through to what’s known as the Playoff Round of the Europa League. A cracking header from the resurgent David Ngog [...]

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 [...]
Reset the Breaker…..

Well, Old Fat Head couldn’t put one over on us today. No beach balls to save you this time. 3-0 over Sunderland and the Kop was just rockin’. I’m not sure where the Liverpool I support went and to be quite frank I don’t care. They way they were playing, it might have been a [...]
