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’

Decision Time for Caoimhin Kelleher as Clubs Eye Move for Liverpool Goalie
Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher cemented his status as an outstanding shot-stopper when his heroics helped the Reds win the League Cup in 2022. Leicester City took Liverpool to penalties in the fifth round and he saved two spot-kicks to help the Merseyside club book their place in the next round. The 25-year-old also made massive saves on Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic in the final against Chelsea. The Reds ultimately won on penalties, with Kelleher's heroics a pivotal par
Klopp: The story of the season is that the squad have shown great character and a sensational attitude
It may be another game that Liverpool relinquished a lead as they continue their underwhelming end to the season but Jurgen Klopp only sees the positives for this team. In his penultimate fixture as Liverpool manager, the Reds had a 3-1 lead heading into the last 10 minutes against top four aspirants Aston Villa but conceded two goals in three minutes as the home team secured a vital point in their quest for Champions League qualification. It was an ending rather symbolic
Report: New contract for Van Dijk seen as a priority
Virgil Van Dijk is viewed as an irreplaceable member of the Liverpool squad as they move into a new era according to a new report. With the appointment of Arne Slot all but confirmed, the next point of business for the key decision makers with the clubs hierarchy is working out who is going to stay and work under the new manager and which players will be moving on. In recent weeks a lot of the public discussion has revolved around Mo Salah’s future with one prevailing vie

That was the Week that Was (May 13-17 2024)
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
Aston Villa 3 Liverpool 3 (May 13 2024)
At least it’s almost over now. One more game and then we can have a break from this. I don’t know about you, but I desperately need it. Watching this group of players these last six weeks or so has been tough and we need a spell apart I don’t need to be seeing them for a while as they’re doing my fucking head in. Ultimately this game wasn’t particularly important in the grand scheme of things, but this is a shit way to be ending things. This wasn’t an especially good performance over
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

Liverpool 4 Tottenham Hotspur 2 (May 5 2024)
Well that was better, I suppose. It didn’t feel that way at full time, but on reflection this was mostly good up until both teams made substitutions and the game turned on its head. Thankfully we had a four goal cushion, and thankfully Paul Tierney and VAR chose to ignore a reasonable penalty appeal for Spurs that could have got them back to 4-3. Had that happened, I think we’d have blown it. There were serious flashbacks to last season when we blew a 3-0 lead to Spurs and then Jota
West Ham 2 Liverpool 2 (Apr 27 2024)
How much worse is this going to get? I had hoped that Goodison would be rock bottom but if anything this is worse. Not because of the result or even the performance, but because of the lack of a bounce back, the drama and the sadness we’re all feeling as everything just falls apart around Jurgen. It’s fucking miserable and for him to be going out like this is just awful. I’ll get to all the Salah stuff later, but that was just the fly on top of the shit. The performance wasn’t terrib
Everton 2 Liverpool 0 (Apr 25 2024)
That’s that then. Season over, Klopp’s going out with a whimper and a campaign that promised so much is ending in massive disappointment and anger. Ok, we’ve got a trophy under our belts but is that League Cup really offering any consolation right now? Absolutely nothing is consoling me, I’m just fucking devastated about all this. It’s not the missing out (I think most of were expecting to come up just short), it’s the way we’re missing out. I need to strike the right balance here b

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
Premier League Round Up (Apr 27-28 2024)
And I thought last week’s round up was a chore. This one just feels utterly pointless now. I;m on the beach with Brighton and West Ham and I'm just mailing it in now until the season finishes. Virtually everything has been decided other than the title, and that hurts too much to even really think about. It’s still too raw after the way we meekly bowed out of the race. The relegation places are more or less decided. Luton or Burnley still have an outside shot at catching Forest but re

That was the Week that Was (Apr 29 - May 3 2024)
Monday Apr 29: The PL clubs have voted in favour of a kind of spending cap. Both manc teams voted against it, as did Villa for some bizarre reason, while Chelsea abstained. What the fuck are they abstaining for? Anyway, it isn’t confirmed yet as this vote was about agreeing to explore the possibility and there’ll be another vote in June when the proposal is finalised. I haven’t read up on it too much as it feels pretty pointless anyway. The top clubs can spend 4.5 times the amount th

"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
