Liverpool 1 Everton 0 (Apr 2 2025)
I actually feel differently about this game today than I did immediately afterwards. While I was relieved and delighted with the three points as I came away from Anfield, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the performance and it didn’t do a great deal to restore a lot of the faith in the team that was lost after that Cup Final shambles. Today though, having slept on it and had a proper think about things, I see it much differently. Much as I’d have loved us to have given them a proper hi

Slot: The Premier League is as competitive than it ever has been
Arne Slot has dismissed out of hand the thought that this Premier League has been lacking in quality across the board. Liverpool only need 13 points from their remaining eight games to seal their 20th league title. There has been a school of thought that Liverpool have ‘coasted’ through this season under minimal pressure and that their own standard of play falls short compared to title winners from previous seasons. The Reds under Jurgen Klopp were known for a
When can Liverpool win the Premier League Title?
Liverpool went into the March international break with a commanding 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. The Reds are on course to win their second title in the Premier League era, and deservedly so. Arne Slot’s side have been excellent this season. Only Nottingham Forest have beaten the Reds in the Premier League, and they did so at Anfield. But it has been over six months since that anomaly occurred. However, Liverpool have shown signs of mortality in recent times
Liverpool Could Embark on an Australian Adventure at the End of the Season
Liverpool could travel to Australia following their final game of the Premier League season against Crystal Palace on May 25. The Reds’ recent defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the last-16 of the Champions League has opened the door for a trip to the other side of the world. Arne Slot’s side could face the A-League All-Stars at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in a fixture that would attract around 100,000 fans. The match would be part of the A-League Grand Final week festivities, w

That was the Week that Was (Mar 31 - Apr 3 2025)
Monday Mar 31: Newcastle are reportedly leading the chase for Harvey. If that happened I’d be unspeakably fucking livid. I’ve been thinking about this a fair bit over the break, and the lack of minutes for him this season is a fucking disgrace. I know we’re 12 points clear and cruising to the title, so Slot can say he’s got it right and that’s inarguable. However, alternatively, who’s to say if Harvey had played more than some of those draws wouldn’t have been turned into wins and we
Premier League Round Up (Apr 1-3 2025)
No weekend games but there was a full midweek schedule of fixtures so I’ll start with Tuesday night, as Arsenal edged out Fulham at the Emirates thanks to ‘Star Boy’ who returned with a goal. Great news for those long suffering Gooners who have seen their team so decimated by injuries all season. Finally, light at the end of the tunnel. Sadly for them, that light was the oncoming train as Gabriel got steamrollered by it and will miss the rest of the season with a badly torn hamstrin

That was the Week that Was (Mar 24-28 2025)
Monday Mar 24: Week off from the diary last week, so just recapping anything interesting that happened before cracking on with this week. Yeah, I got nothing. Boring week, fuck all happening other than internationals, and not much of interest happened in those. We did get Alisson sent back with a concussion, and we got Gravenberch back early too. He was sent back the day he got there, as Big Red Ron took one look at the poor broken bastard and said “you need a rest kid, fuck off home
Premier League Round Up (Mar 15-16 2025)
There was a time not so long ago when a City home game against Brighton was only ever going to end up with three points to the cheats. Those days are no more. They led twice but in the end were lucky to even get a point. The opener came from the spot when Marmoush was fouled and Cave Troll scored from the spot. That’s 29 goals for him this season, which shocked me as it feels like he’s only scored about half a dozen. He must have got almost all of them in the first couple of months o

Carabao Cup Final: Liverpool 1 Newcastle United 2 (Mar 16 2025)
It’s worth starting off by saying we’re 12 points clear at the top of the league. So be assured that anything else that follows is said with that fully in mind. I haven’t forgotten it. I’m also aware that the season isn’t defined by what we do in the League Cup, so going overboard about this loss isn’t the smartest thing to do. It’s certainly not what I want to do. Yet I’m not sure I’m going to be able to help it, because as I type this well over 24 hours later, I’m still fucking di
Liverpool 0 PSG 1 (Mar 11 2025)
I’m feeling quite philosophical about this defeat, but that might change depending on PSG do in the rest of the competition. If they go on and win it this is not going to reflect too badly on us at all. We’re all saying right now how we were beaten by a brilliant team, but what if it turns out they aren’t? If they lose to Villa in the next round then this is going to look a whole lot different! I can only say how I’m feeling right now though, and I’m ok with it. Relatively speaking.
Liverpool 3 Southampton 1 (Mar 8 2025)
Considering I went into this already certain that the title was in the bag, it was surprising how angry and unsettled I was at half time. There’s playing bad, and there’s playing like it’s a fucking Legends Game. The lack of intensity and tempo in our play in that first half was genuinely disgraceful. Tiredness isn’t an excuse because they were able to do it in the second half and that wasn’t just because three changes were made. It was because the intent was there after the break a
PSG 0 Liverpool 1 (Mar 5 2025)
Sometimes you just have to laugh. A largely terrible performance where we could barely string three passes together and where the opposition looked like world beaters, but somehow we came away with a win after only having one shot the entire night. The reason for that is pretty simple though; the best goalkeeper in the world producing the best performance of a stellar career. Maybe the best goalkeeping performance ever? Certainly as far as Liverpool is concerned anyway. Peter Schmeic

Premier League Round Up (Mar 8-10 2025)
With the Reds running away with at the top and the bottom three all being so shit that none of them have a hope in hell of saving themselves, it isn’t exactly all to play for in the Premier League. The extra CL place that England is getting does make things interesting though. 10th placed Fulham are only 5 points off a CL spot, while Arsenal seem to be the only side (apart from us, of course) who are comfortable in their CL qualification. Forest have been up there all season but it’

Monday Mar 10: It’s got to be tough being an Arsenal fan right now. Everywhere you look there are people taking the piss out of them. They might be the most laughed at team in the history of football, it’s absolutely everywhere. It isn’t just their rivals either, it’s everybody. That scene in Airplane when everyone is lining up to slap that hysterical woman across the face, and even a nun is in line to take a shot, that’s basically Arsenal now.

"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
