Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 1 (Oct 5 2024)
Yeah not bad. Not great, bit boring, but not bad. The second half was a real chore to watch and we were hanging on for a long spell there, but a win is a win and getting them away from home is rarely easy. Especially when you’re playing the way we are at the moment. It’s not clicking but it is functioning well enough to beat the bottom half dregs we’ve faced so far, so I’m not complaining. Well not too much anyway. Slot said afterwards he was pleased with the first hour

Slot: I have full confidence in Darwin
Arne Slot says that Darwin Nunez will get plenty of opportunities to display his talents this season. To date, the Uruguayan striker has made four appearances totalling 85 minutes this season and against Ipswich he was an unused substitute. Nunez’s midweek appearance against AC Milan was his 100th for the Reds where he has scored 33 goals in all competitions along with 16 assists. There has been a prevailing view amongst the fanbase that this season his third
Alisson: As players we need to be listened to regarding issue of fixture congestion
Alisson Becker is the latest figure in the game to speak out about the excessive fixture congestion of the football calendar In his time as Reds Manager, Jurgen Klopp raised the topic when he felt it was right to highlight the plight of not just Liverpool players, but the wellbeing of Footballers in general. The German, who recently gave up smoking and can now be found using vape pens, came up with this profound statement in the lead-up to the 2022 World Cup which took p
Slot: Bond between fans and myself will come through performance of the team
Arne Slot says that he hopes he will strike up a lasting relationship with Liverpool fans but he will go about things in a different way to his predecessor. The Dutchman has made an efficient start in his first few months as manager both with results on the pitch and with the way he has handled the press pack and the overall impression he has given to the fanbase at large. In a nutshell, he is grateful by what he has been left by an iconic figure and is respectful for wha

That was the Week that Was (Oct 7-12 2024)
Monday Oct 7: New contracts in the pipeline! But not for who we would have thought. Konate and Quansah are being lined up for new deals, with the word from the LFC journos that talks are continuing with the ‘big three’ but no common ground has been found yet, which is really fucking worrying. Richard Hughes has supposedly said it's a really difficult situation he's inherited and that the club are determined not to allow these kind of contract issues to happen again. Mate,
Premier League Round Up (Oct 5-6 2024)
Not the most interesting of weekends really. It almost was, as at one point both City and Arsenal were losing, but we all knew how those movies were going to end. I didn’t get my hopes up even for a second. That being said, City should have lost at home to Fulham, who apparently gave them all they could handle. The reason City didn’t lose was because Adama Traore missed three one v ones. I fast forwarded through the MOTD highlights of this because, well you know, fuck Man City, but I
That was the Week that Was (Sep 30 - Oct 4 2024)
Monday Sep 30: Had the radio on today in the car and understandably it was dominated by how fucking shit United are. It’s not a new thing, they’ve been shit for ages, but it’s still always going to be big for media outlets as its basically gold for them. United being shit is great for business as not only are they getting angry United fans listening and calling in, you’re also getting fans of everyone else loving the fact that United are shit and their fans are angry.

Premier League Round Up (Sep 28-29 2024)
Not a bad weekend but it was close to being a great one. City dropped two points and Arsenal needed a late, late show to avoid the same fate. Everton were losing at one point too before turning it around for their first win, so this could have been one hell of a weekend. United lost too, but that almost goes without saying these days. I’ll get to them in a bit. For now I’ll start with City’s trip to Newcastle. Last week I broke my own rule and watched the highlights of their game wit

Liverpool 2 Bologna 0 (Oct 2 2024)
It’s not a game we’ll be remembering beyond this week, but that doesn’t matter as the group stages of this competition are just about putting yourself in position to make the knock out stages. Other than Olympiakos, I don’t think I could tell you any opponent we faced in the group stages in any year we won it or reached the final. So this wasn’t particularly good (it may have been worse than Wolves at the weekend) but we’re winning games even though we’ve still got a lot of improving
Wolverhampton Wanderers 1 Liverpool 2 (Sep 27 2024)
Ok, it wasn’t good and we can play a lot better, but a win is a win and despite not hitting the heights we’d like to, we deserved this one. Not that it matters what you deserve or don’t deserve, but as poor as we were in attack for large periods of the game, it’s worth pointing out that Alisson had nothing to do and that the goal we conceded was entirely self inflicted. So that’s a good thing as defensively we got it right. The goal apart, we defended well and kept Wolves at arm’s le
Liverpool 5 West Ham 1 (Sep 25 2024)
Yes, it is I, Le Clerc, or at least Dan Thomas, with your match report of the 5-1 swatting of West Ham. That ended up being a load of fun, didn’t it? After 20 minutes and being 1-0 down to a Keystone Kops own goal, it didn’t look like it would be a lot of fun at all. The much changed Reds however roared back in style to complete a 5-1 rout of West Ham, the same result as last season when we went on the lift the Coca Cola/Carling/Capital One/Carabao Cup. A good omen? How is the Pope f
Liverpool 3 Bournemouth 0 (Sep 21 2024)
We won this game in the first half, so I’m not particularly bothered that the second half wasn’t the best. I don’t think this is going to be team that regularly hits five or six even when the opponent is ripe for the picking, I think we’ll see more of this sort of thing, just managing the game. Which is fine, but I have no doubt that we could have smashed Bournemouth if we’d maintained full intensity. I get why we didn’t though and I’m happy with what we saw in the first half. It was

Premier League Round Up (Sep 21-22 2024)
Chelsea’s good start to the season continued with a comfortable win at West Ham, who it must be said were a fucking disgrace. That’s not to take anything away from Chelsea who did what they had to do and *grits teeth* looked good doing it. West Ham though are definitely finding out that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Jackson scored after just four minutes to get the ball rolling. It’s a disgusting goal from a West Ham point of view. He’s played in down the left, bu

Monday Sep 23: No diary last week as I was away for a few days and not that much happened anyway. There were a couple of things I wanted to mention though. Slot’s Friday presser was really good. I thought he struck the right tone with every question. I wanted to mention that because in the previous diary I’d said I was a little unsettled by the way he spoke about rotation. On Friday he was asked a few things which I was interested to hear his response, and each time he sp

"Macca Can" - Steve McMahon interview
You started out with the Blues. Was it always going to be Everton or did you have any trials with Liverpool when you were a kid? It was always going to be Everton, I didn’t get an option. When I was 10 or 11 I was scouted by them and that was the first thing I did, join Everton. All my family were Evertonians - lots of them still are - so it was a natural thing to do and I was very fortunate. Things change quickly in life though. We’ll get to why you left in a second, but I wanted t

Magic Moments
"Xabi Alonso's 70 yard screamer against Newcastle (2006/07)" by Jason Harris
When you think of guile and grace as a midfielder, one name that personally comes to mind is Xabi Alonso. To this day, Xabi remains in my top three all-time favourite Liverpool players for many of the qualities that will be discussed in this piece.Signed for a absolute snip at £10.7 million from Real Sociedad at the start of Rafa Benitez's tenure in the summer of 2004, the Spaniard's arrival in England was at the peak of a pre-eminent era for central midfielders in the Premier League. He joined
"El Niño strikes - Fernando Torres’ first goal" by Jason Harris
When an eagle-eyed photographer spied the words 'You’ll Never Walk Alone' on an armband worn by Fernando Torres in an Atletico Madrid game, it appeared destiny that the Spaniard would one day play for the Reds. Liverpool fans were crying out for an iconic figure to lead the line and help take the team to the next level. Their dreams became a reality when Rafa Benitez signed the 23-year-old from his boyhood club for £27 million, which at the time was a club record fee. While Torres wa
'SuperDan' breaks the drought at Old Trafford (2000/01)" by Jason Harris
"One day we will beat Manchester United, I promise you that." Those were the immortal words from Gerard Houllier after a gut-wrenching 2-1 defeat to the Red Devils at Old Trafford in January of 1999. Houllier was never a manager chasing headlines with the way he spoke, but the Frenchman saw something in the team he had taken sole ownership over just a few months before after initially sharing the role with Roy Evans. It had been close to ten years of misery when playing

Kop Tales In Their Own Words: Emlyn's first night as a Red
Emlyn Hughes is one of Liverpool finest ever players and captains, having given 12 years sterling service to the club and captaining the Reds to their first European Cup success in 1977. Emlyn saw and did it all during his time on Merseyside, but of all the weird and wonderful things he experienced as a Liverpool player, perhaps nothing was as surreal and memorable as his first night as a Red. The following is an extract from Emlyn’s book, entitled ‘Emlyn Hughes: Crazy Horse’, and re
Kop Tales In Their Own Words: Smith, Yeats and Mayhem in Majorca
Tommy Smith was known as the Anfield Iron and one of the hardest men to ever pull on the Red shirt. Ron Yeats was an even more fearsome individual, a man mountain who had made a living slaughtering animals in an abattoir before becoming a professional footballer. Yeats struck fear into Liverpool's opponents during the 1960s, while his young apprentice Smith took over the mantle throughout the following decade. The following extract, taken from Smith’s book, Tommy Smith: I Did it the
Kop Tales In Their Own Words: Steve McMahon - Switching Sides
Swapping Everton for Liverpool is always a contentious move likely to upset fans of the Blues, but when you’re a local lad, boyhood fan and a player who became club captain it’s going to sting a lot more. Steve McMahon could have joined Liverpool immediately after walking away from Goodison Park. He was out of contract and there would have been nothing Everton could have done to stop it, but out of respect for his boyhood club McMahon instead chose to make a two year stop at Aston V
