Last Match
Liverpool 2 Wolves 0 (May 19 2024)
This probably needs to be in two parts really. The match itself and then the post match stuff. I’ll start with the game, although I don’t remember a great deal about it. It was a weird atmosphere really as we were all just very distracted, understandably so. It was loud, really loud, although there were also long lulls where it felt like the crowd were just waiting to get near the closing minutes to go for it again. I was taking more of an interest in all of that than I was the actual game if I’

2023/24 Season Report Card - Alisson Becker
Not the easiest one to grade this. He didn’t make many mistakes yet it never felt like he was having an amazing season either. Maybe that’s because we defended better and he wasn’t needed as much, certainly earlier in the season anyway. One incredible save at Newcastle stands out, but other than that it was just standard Alisson, making the difficult look easy and generally just being understatedly great. Usually his season grade is a 10/10 or, at the very worst, a 9. Not this time.
That was the Week that Was (May 20-24 2024)
Monday May 20: The fallout from yesterday is interesting. Man City once again screaming from the rooftops about not getting their due credit and wondering why everyone is talking about Liverpool instead. Their official account tweeted a a dig at us last night because they’re so obsessed. Linda responded to that today and basically put them in a body bag, it was great stuff to be fair, she’s absolutely savaged them while somehow keeping the high ground. Everyone at City h
Premier League Round Up (May 19 2024)
Probably the least dramatic final day I can remember. Maybe that’s why all eyes were on Anfield for Klopp’s farewell? Sky put most of their energy into that anyway, there’s even an hour and twenty minutes of their coverage on YouTube. It had 70% more viewers than City’s title celebrations but that isn’t surprising at all. For one thing, we’ve got way more fans than them, but also there will have been far more neutrals tuning into what was happening at Anfield rather than the lame, ha

Monday May 13: Villa 3 L 3. Probably sums us up this. These are the kind of results we were getting in the first two or three years of Klopp while he built the team up to where they needed to be. There was a time when no lead ever felt safe because we were prone to stupid collapses. We’re in that place now. For all the criticism of the forwards recently (much of it justified) this season is the second highest goals tally in our history. We’ve conceded far too many though. Not because

Premier League Round Up (May 11-15 2024)
So that’s it, everything is settled now. There’s still the formality of playing the final round of fixtures, but we know who has been relegated, we know who will be in the Champions League next year and we know who the Champions will be. Sure, City still need to beat West Ham but we all know how this movie ends. Arsenal fans have almost had the full experience now. The only thing lacking really is for West Ham to take the lead this weekend and give them that one final flicker of hope
Premier League Round Up (May 3-6 2024)
We’ll start at the bottom this week, as Luton took a big step back towards the Championship after failing to beat Everton at home on Friday night. That kind of felt like their last throw of the dice, especially with Forest facing Sheffield United the following day and Burnley having crept right up on them too. They fell behind to a fucking joke of a penalty awarded by VAR. Mengi was holding Branthwaite, but that happens a dozen times in every game and it’s never given. It was miles a

That was the Week that Was (May 6-10 2024)
Monday May 6: Goldbridge confirms he’s received a “cease and desist” order from Man City to stop talking about the 115 charges. He won’t stop talking about it, but it’s interesting that both he and Tony Evans have now said they’ve had these letters. No doubt loads of others have too. Might explain why Sky never mention it for example, yet when Carra is on CBS he’s happy to throw it out there. Fact is, City are cheats. They’ve been found guilty of it previously so anybody calling them

"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

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
