    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

    Tsimikas: Mo should definitely win the Ballon d’Or this year

    Kostas Tsimikas has little doubt that Mo Salah should claim the individual honour that has eluded him throughout his outstanding spell as a Liverpool player.   The Ballon d’Or award has honoured some of the greatest players since it began in 1956.   While the award itself still carries a deal of weight within the Footballing community,  in recent times it seems to have turned into a popularity contest or in some cases clubs reportedly using their power to influence voting.

    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

    2024/25 Season Report Card - Jarrell Quansah

    A tough season for Quansah who, other than Harvey Elliott, is probably missing Jurgen Klopp more than anyone else in the squad. Last year was a breakout year for Quansah who ended the season in the team ahead of Konate. He actually started this season in the team ahead of Konate too, albeit only for 45 minutes.   He was subbed at half time against Ipswich and thrown to the wolves a little by Slot. It’s not that he said anything particularly damning, it’s just that after nine years of Kl

    2024/25 Season Report Card - Ibrahima Konate

    A very good season from the big fella, but not quite a great one. I keep waiting for Konate to really take that next step into that rarified centre back air occupied only by Van Dijk currently. He’s close, and at times he looks like he’s about to really make that leap. But then he doesn’t. Not quite.   Virgil never has a spell where he’s not quite at his best. Konate does. It’s not often, and it’s never for long, but while I think he’s brilliant 85% of the time, for him to take th

    2024/25 Season Report Card - Kostas Tsimikas

    A solid if unspectacular season from the popular Greek. I don’t remember too many poor performances from him until recently (there was one terrible one, it may have been a European game, my memory isn’t what it once was!) and generally he produced very similar performance levels throughout the season before finishing with a bit of a wobble (like virtually everyone else).   This year is probably the closest he’s been to actually mounting a challenge for the first choice spot, but that wa

    2024/25 Season Report Card - Joe Gomez

    Poor Joe. He can’t catch a break. He almost left last summer in search of regular football but decided to stay and fight for a place, but it ended up going the same way it has so often.   It feels like that’s a fight he’s never going to win, but because he’s so dependable in so many positions he will always make the match day squad and often end up on the pitch as we look to see games out. He was doing that to good effect this season, getting some games in his favoured position of centr

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

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.

    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
