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

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

Premier League Round Up (Dec 21-29 2023)
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

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.

That was the Week that Was (Sep 9-14 2024)
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

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.
Liverpool 2 Brentford 0 (Aug 25 2024)
That was weird. The whole experience was weird, from start to finish. Not so much the game or the performance, but Anfield. It kind of felt like a friendly game at times as it was deathly quiet other than the low murmur of thousands of conversations going on. It’s not what I expected for the first game of the season, and I actually felt a little embarrassed by it. The reason I say that is because all summer Arne Slot has been getting asked about how excited he is for his first game a
Ipswich Town 0 Liverpool 2 (Aug 17 2024)
A solid enough start and a comfortable win for the new boss. The second half was great, that was what I expecting from the start but for 45 minutes we were crap. Passive, toothless, lacking in any kind of direction. I can’t remember us even creating a chance. They didn’t create much either, but it was still more than us and they were marginally the better side. Given how slick we looked for much of pre-season I didn’t see that coming, but I suppose it just highlights the difference i

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
Premier League Round Up (Aug 24-25 2024)
After an undeserved win last week United were back to losing ways as they went down to defeat at Brighton. Bit unlucky actually, they played alright and but for a freakishly funny disallowed goal they might have won. Danny Welcrap has started the season well with goals against Everton and now United. If he can score against Arsenal and City too this season I might have to start putting some respect on his name. That's a very big IF though. Big Games James has started the

That was the Week that Was (Aug 26- 30 2024)
Monday Aug 26: The deal for the keeper is virtually done now and he’ll stay at Valencia for this year. As I wrote last week, this deal doesn’t sit too well with me just because Alisson is not looking for a way out, so it feels unnecessary. He has two years left, wants to stay beyond that so why are “succession planning” on the best in the world who doesn’t need a successor for a while? Smacks of them not wanting to pay Alisson, which also tells me they won’t be extending Virgil or Mo

"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
