Last Match
Liverpool 1 Crystal Palace 1 (May 25 2025)
It wasn’t quite as special as the celebrations after Spurs but it was still one hell of a day. It could be that the football itself dampened the mood a little, certainly for a spell in the middle of the game, but it always going to be hard to top that spontaneous outpouring of joy we had after Spurs. So this was just a little different, but still a day that will live long in the memory. I’ll get the game out of the way first as there’s really not a great deal to say. We couldn’t have

Opposition View- Crystal Palace
After nine months and 38 games. the 2024/5 Premier League season concludes on Sunday. For some clubs they will breathe a giant sigh of relief as it has been a struggle and others will define it as a clear failure. However for teams like Liverpool and Crystal Palace, it has delivered success. Both teams would have goals they wanted to achieve heading into this campaign and while it is true that you are going to have some setbacks along the way, the fact that both clubs walk away from this season
Salah: There was a period where I thought the club would not re-sign me
Mo Salah says there a period of time where he felt he stood next to no chance of getting a new contract from the club due to their policy regarding players once they turned 30. The contract negations for three of Liverpools biggest stars has been a running saga playing in the background to the club clinching their 20th league title. While never played out in public, cryptic comments leaking out from various sources heightened tensions within the fanbase and there was inde
Slot: We have full confidence in Conor becoming a very good player at this club
Arne Slot may be farewelling a key member part of the golden era of Liverpool at the end of this season but is comfortable in the knowledge that he has a more than able replacement. A key element of Liverpool’s success during the Jurgen Klopp era was identifying areas of required improvement within the squad and filling those gaps with quality. But there will be no need to scour the market for a player with a sizeable fee for the departing Trent Alexander-Arnold with Cono

That was the Week that Was (May 19-24 2025)
Monday May 19: Brighton 3 L 2. Yeah nothing to say about this. It's covered in the match report and I don't want to waste any more time thinking about games that are going to be forgotten in a few weeks. The manager and players aren't taking them seriously so why should we? That isn't even a criticism, more of an observation really. We've literally been on the beach all week. Frimpong is all agreed now and is supposedly having a medical today. Kerkez is rumoured to very c
Premier League Round Up (May 17-20 2025)
The two worst sides in the 17 Team Premier League both played their games on Friday to give themselves extra recovery time for when they met in one of the showpiece events of the season. The Premier League should be apologising to UEFA for the clownshow that was served up in Bilbao, but I’ll get to that. United went close to full strength (whatever that is these days) while Spurs rested everyone who started the final. Which begs the question as to why they were allowed to bring their

I contemplated just posting a photo of a beach instead of bothering with a report. No-one is arsed anymore, are they? Slot going off to Ibiza, the players spending the week in Dubai, the “Summer of 66” party, fans in the away end not giving a shit about the result and just singing and dancing the night away… nobody is arsed so I guess I shouldn’t be either.

That was the Week that Was (May 12-16 2025)
Monday May 12: The big story everyone is talking about in the national media today is Trent and the booing. I’ve said my piece on what happened in the match report, but in terms of this media feeding frenzy, there are two thoughts I have here. The first, is that this doesn’t happen if the booing doesn’t take place, so the discussion is a result of the actions of some of our fans. We opened the door for this. Well, Trent opened it and we pushed through it. He deserved to b

Liverpool 2 Arsenal 2 (May 11 2025)
Two weeks ago was perhaps the most enjoyable afternoon I’ve ever had at Anfield. This was perhaps the least enjoyable. And not because of the result or the performance, which ended up being completely secondary to the real story of the day. There’s so many layers to all of this and it’s a delicate subject in many ways. You can’t tell people how to feel and I’ve said that repeatedly throughout the Trent saga. Some will hate him and never forgive him, and that’s perfectly fine. Some wo
Chelsea 3 Liverpool 1 (May 4 2025)
The only reason this defeat bothered me was because it was Chelsea and it helped them in their quest for a Champions League place. I’m not digging anyone out about the performance, the team selection or any specific individual displays. That would be daft considering the week we’ve had. Even if the players had clocked off and not put in a shift it would still be difficult to criticise, but that wasn’t the case anyway. We’ve played worse than this in games that actually matter and won
Liverpool 5 Tottenham Hotspur 1 (April 27 2025)
Sometimes when you’ve waited so long for something it becomes impossible for it to live up to expectations. For the past couple of months I’ve felt that this was going to be the case with this title win. While we hadn’t been able to celebrate a title win at Anfield in 35 years, it wasn’t quite as straightforward as that, as we haven’t exactly been starved of success. We’ve won shitloads of other stuff, so we’re not in a situation like Newcastle were in recently when they finally got

Premier League Round Up (May 10-11 2025)
I should probably have my feet up in Dubai now, or be living it up in Ibiza with that Wayne Lineker arsewipe, as that seems to be the done thing now that the title is won. The rest of this season doesn’t matter, it seems. But I’m not, I’m here, writing about a load of dead rubbers because the hardest working man in football doesn’t quit before the season is finished. So, another week where the only thing with anything riding on it is the top five chase. City were looking
Premier League Round Up (May 2-5 2025)
I kind of know how our players feel now, as I’m struggling for motivation now when it comes to these. The sooner the season finishes the better. The only thing in the balance is the four places below us and I don’t really want any of the teams in contention to get them. Fuck all of them, it’s just a case of who is the least offensive. I suppose City and Chelsea are the most offensive (not to mention massive fucking cheats), but it’s a tough sell getting me to cheer for Newcastle, For

We’ve pretty much known it was on the cards for the best part of a year (or more in some cases) but there was always the possibility he would see sense and not go through with it. By choosing to leave he’s shitting on his legacy. Doesn’t matter how many chin stroking cunts in the media say that’s wrong and that we should all be blowing kisses at him and laying rose petals in his path as he walks away. This is football. This is how it is. Ask M

"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
