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

Morton: It has been the toughest season for me but I have still developed
Tyler Morton has reflected on a personally difficult season but admits that it is all part of his development as a young player. The defensive midfielder had promising loan spells with Championship clubs Blackburn and Hull in the previous two seasons and had hopes to push for a regular first team squad place this season. However that was not to be the case under new manager Arne Slot who showed a clear preference to tried and tested players, while the emerging talent such
Alisson Becker to stay one or two more years, but eyes future return to Brazil
As he gears up for the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with Brazil, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has reaffirmed his focus at Anfield and hinted at plans beyond his current deal. The 32‑year‑old legend, instrumental in Liverpool’s 2024-25 Premier League title triumph, remains fully committed to the Reds, despite new competition arriving between the sticks next season. Alisson’s long time back up Caoimhin Kelleher has moved on to pastures new at Brentford, but highly rated Ge
Liverpool’s five record transfer deals, and could there soon be a new number one?
Liverpool are champions, but it does not stop here for Arne Slot’s Liverpool side as they seek a period of dominance over English football. This will be a big summer for the Reds as they look to recruit players to drive success both domestically and in Europe. And with the club’s transfer record strongly rumoured to soon be broken, that’s a statement of intent if we ever did see it. Bayer Leverkusen’s wonderkid Florian Wirtz is said to be close to a switch to Anfield for a transfer t

2024/25 Season Report Card - Conor Bradley
I believe that Bradley has everything he needs to be a world class full back, but for that to happen he’s going to need to improve on his availability. Everything else is already in place. Since his breakout season on loan at Bolton Wanderers two years ago, Conor has had two seasons with us where he has basically missed as many games as he’s played. That’s why the club had to act decisively in bringing in Frimpong, because we couldn’t go into next season with Bradley and Gomez as the o
2024/25 Season Report Card - Trent Alexander-Arnold
It would be easy for me to mark him down given how I feel about him now, but he had a pretty good season overall, especially considering everything that was going on. By that I mean him running down his contract, studying Spanish for a couple of years, stringing the club along until finally informing them in March he was off, before then throwing himself a farewell party and plastering “the summer of 66” all over the training ground. So yeah, self inflicted stuff. As much as he deserve
2024/25 Season Report Card - Caiomhin Kelleher
It’s crazy to think that he started more games in 2024 than Alisson did, but he did. And the fact that our results didn’t suffer is great credit to Kelleher and the job he did. He made crucial saves when he needed to, he was solid on crosses and he’s fantastic with the ball at his feet. He’s actually light years better than Alisson in that department, as well as at saving penalties. He saved one from Mbappe in the win over Real Madrid and it’s fair to say that we were not really mis
2024/25 Season Report Card - Alisson Becker
The first half of the season was interrupted by injury and he wasn’t quite at his level when he first came back, but in the second half of the season Alisson was back. He’s the best in the world, has been for years and will be for years to come. How many of those years will be with us remains to be seen but it does feel like the process of him being edged out started last summer with the deal to sign his eventual successor. We’ll see how that plays out, but if it were up to me I’d b
That was the Week that Was (Jun 2-6 2025)
Monday Jun 2: That CL Final was an absolute embarrassment. If ever there was a game to validate the opinions of the likes of me that Serie A is just full of old and slow fuckers who can’t run, this was it. PSG literally just ran all over them and Inter couldn’t cope. It’s a shame they got to the final because Barca would have made this a much more entertaining game. They’d probably still have lost but at least they’d have given PSG some problems. This was old men against boys and the

Brighton 3 Liverpool 2 (May 19 2025)
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. There’s a part of me that’s uneasy about how it’s gone since we clinched the title but life’s too short to be bothered by it. We
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 25 2025)
So another season in the books and it was a great one for us. It’s always easier doing these round ups when we’re doing well, as when we’re not it’s a slog having to watch those above us winning games and I find myself getting more and more bitter and resentful. When we’re clear at the top, who gives a fuck if United, City, Arsenal or whoever win their games. And when they don’t win? Well it’s even more enjoyable. This final weekend saw all of them (as well as Everton) record wins bu
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
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

Monday May 26: What a heartbreaking end to an incredible day. The parade actually exceeded expectations, which were already sky high after previous ones. It was fucking unreal, so many people showed up from all over the place. You see the photos and videos of train stations throughout the country and there are Reds everywhere. It’s fucking mad. What a day for Slot and the players. And then that happens. It will all come out in the wash who he is, what he was doing there a
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

"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
