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

Van Dijk: Every day I am proud and privileged to be captain of Liverpool
Virgil Van Dijk saying captaining Liverpool is an honour that he does not take for granted as he stands on the brink of joining illustrious names in the history of the club. The Dutchman has earned many individual honours throughout his career and been part of successful teams however you sense being the captain of a title winning side means a whole lot more. Speaking to the Dutch Publication AD (per the Mirror), Van Dijk talks not just about success on the pitch, but the
Alexis: I do not have any reason to leave Liverpool
Alexis Mac Allister has categorically dismissed the prospect of leaving Liverpool anytime soon. The popular Argentinian midfielder has been his trademark consistent self during this title winning campaign for the Reds and in general has proven to be one of the best value for money signings the club have made during this success-laden era. Too often you see modern day players almost more concerned with their own image and social media profile than their own performances on
New Zealand Could Offer Liverpool a Viable Multi-Club Expansion Route
Jurgen Klopp’s decision to quit as Liverpool manager at the end of last season marked the end of a period of improvement for the club. Club owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) needed an experienced figure to lead the Reds into a new era and brought Michael Edwards back to Anfield. Edwards previously laid the foundations for Klopp’s nine-year managerial spell as the club’s sporting director. He returned as Liverpool’s chief executive of football. FSG’s plans include investing

That was the Week that Was (Apr 28 - May 3 2025)
Monday Apr 28: Still soaking in everything from yesterday, and there’s a lot to soak in. Loads of great content from the club and also the likes of Sky and BBC. I never got especially emotional yesterday, it was more joy than anything else, and it’s the same today mostly. There hasn’t been much to get me choked up, but Curtis bringing his mate Harry onto the pitch did get to me, as did seeing Steve Hunter celebrating with Aldo on the commentary gantry. I’ve said before that Steve is
Premier League Round Up (Apr 26-27 2025)
Not a full slate of fixtures this weekend because of the FA Cup, and there wasn’t a great deal at stake in most of the games. Obviously we had a title to win, but for the likes of Spurs and United it’s all about not finishing as the worst of the rest. Basically the Premier League now consists of 17 teams, with the other three spots being filled on a one year rotation by whoever comes up from the Championship. There’s every chance that Spurs are going to be the worst of the actual Pre
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
That was the Week that Was (Apr 21-26 2025)
Monday Apr 21: Reports today claim that “Chelsea have moved into pole position” to sign Huijsen. The same reports say he favours. Move to Liverpool. What the fuck does that even mean? What a load of nonsense. How are they in pole position if they aren’t the club he wants to join? It isn’t a bidding war as he has a release clause, so other than offering him a load more wages how can they put themselves in “pole position”??? Of the teams linked with him, Chelsea are probab

Leicester City 0 Liverpool 1 (Apr 20 2025)
Another step closer. We’ve put in quite a lot of unconvincing performances in recent months while still generally coming up with the results. I’m pretty sure we’re top of the form guide as well as the actual table, but often it hasn’t been pretty. This was another to add to the list because of the way we just about scraped over the line against a truly dreadful team, but leaving aside the scoreline I actually think this was one of our better performances this calendar year. It was a 4-0 performa
Liverpool 2 West Ham 1 (Apr 13 2025)
Alls well that ends well, and we’re just two wins away now. What an inexplicably weird performance that was though. It’s so hard to get a handle on this team right now. Last week at Fulham they threw in a stinker of a first half, but then upped their level after the break and could easily have got a draw out of it. This week the first half was mostly excellent but then the second half was terrible and in the end we were very fortunate to get away with it. I don’t know why
Fulham 3 Liverpool 2 (Apr 6 2025)
It’s a good job we have such a big lead because we’re spluttering badly right now. We’ve lost three out of four and we’re playing like shit. You can twist it if you like and only use league results if it makes you feel better, but the games we lost recently aren’t exactly Plymouth in the FA Cup or PSV in a dead rubber are they? The games we’ve lost meant a lot and - irrespective of the competition - we came up short three out of four times. The loss to PSG wasn’t deserved on the nigh

Premier League Round Up (Apr 19-23 2025)
Everything is more or less settled now at the top and bottom, but the fight for the Champions League spots is going right down to the wire and you’ve got five teams fighting for three spots. It’s the only thing worth following between now and May, and while I have my own preferences for which three make it, given the fact I don’t like any of them I know I’ll be able to take satisfaction in the misery of the two who miss out. That and the fact we’re Champions. Arsenal are
Premier League Round Up (Apr 12-16 2025)
Nottingham Forest’s Champions League chances took a significant knock as they got hit with a late sucker punch to lose at home to Everton. Strange game. The possession stats for this one read Forest 20%, Everton 20%, the referee 12%, the crowd 30% and the ball boys 18%. Neither of these teams want the ball and that’s actually how the winning goal happened, as in stoppage time Murillo got rid of it like it was a hot potato and Everton broke away to score through Doucoure, who celebra

That was the Week that Was (Apr 14-18 2025)
Monday Apr 14: A list was published today showing the amount of money clubs paid agents over the last financial year. We paid out £20m or so even though we only signed one player. Chiesa’s agent must be living the high life like Scrooge McDuck. On a serious note, obviously that money wasn’t for the Chiesa deal so what’s going on here? There were no major contract renewals done in that period either, so I’m assuming it’s to do with spreading payments over the length of contracts or so

"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
