Last Match
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

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 came up with this profound statement in the lead-up to the 2022 World Cup which took place in the middle of the league season. “When we start
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 (Sep 23-27 2024)
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
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

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 14-15 2024)
There were a lot of reasons I was pissed off about us losing at home to Forest, and while most of them are related to us and the potentially huge implications a result like that could have on our season, I’ll be honest and admit that a big part of why I was pissed off is that it stopped me from enjoying what happened to Everton. Even now, days later, I’m not getting any joy from what happened to them at Villa. Thankfully we’ve both played since then, and while we were winning in the

AC Milan 1 Liverpool 3 (Sep 17 2024)
Liverpool. AC Milan. Istanbul. Steven Gerrard geeing up the crowd. Penalties. Wobbly legs. Athens. Inzhagi. Not starting Crouch. Clive Tyldesley. Nat Phillips taking 6 players back to Argos in the San Siro. These all go hand in hand in hand when you think about Liverpool and AC Milan. Or at least, they do to me. It’s a real game of football. No oil cheats, just two legitimate European heavyweights slugging it out in one of the world’s most recognisable stadiums. Well, t
Liverpool 0 Nottingham Forest 1 (Sep 14 2024)
Ah well, it was great while it lasted wasn’t it? We'll always have August. Who knows what’s going to happen now though. Maybe it was a bad day at the office, or maybe this first chink in the armour will become a giant chasm once other teams see what Forest did and try to emulate it? I’m not going to panic after one game but I’d be lying if I said this felt like just a regular defeat. There are some things that were really alarming and lessons need to be learned. By Slot, by the playe
Manchester United 0 Liverpool 3 (Sep 1 2024)
Well that was easy. How it should be really, considering that United are fucking shit and probably the easiest team rot play against in the entire league. The ease with which we dispatched them here just makes what happened last season (twice) even more shameful. This is what is supposed to happen. I actually think we did this in third gear and had we needed to go up another couple of gears we could have. We didn’t need to, because they’re shit and they’re just so fucking wide open.

Premier League Round Up (Aug 31 - Sep 1 2024)
I’ll start with Arsenal, seeing how all week my twitter for you tab has been absolutely infested with whining Gooners going massively overboard about what was essentially a correct decision. I’ve seen it described by various Arsenal fans as “the worst decision in Premier League history” while countless others have spent their entire week looking for videos of non-Arsenal players escaping yellow cards for kicking the ball away. What fucking whiny bastards they are. Worst fanbase on so

Monday Sep 9: Kweev finally speaks honestly about his future. Usually he says nothing or he’s quite vague, but he’s clearly had enough now after the club signed Mamardashvilli and says he wants out. He also implied that he’s wanted out for a while but it hasn’t happened because we’ve turned down bids and have a high valuation of him. It didn’t come across as a complaint though (unlike Van den Berg) and was more of an observation. He didn’t seem bitter either, he just said the club ha

Some of them are so deluded it’s untrue. Non e more than Gary Neville who embarrassed himself yet again yesterday. Carra spent the entire afternoon either goading him or pulling all manner of faces as he listened to the absolute wham Neville was coming out with. Any United fan still thi

"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
