The Long Goodbye Has Started

Not a truly pulsating Cup-tie like the one in Round 3 but job done.  Obviously, this was the start of Jürgen’s long farewell and one thing for certain there will be games when the temperature down there on the pitch and in the Stands will be a bit hotter that it was against a very...

Does This Train Stop At Wembley

This was a night when the performance didn't matter, just the result.  The one-all down at Fulham gave us a ticket to ride. Does this train stop at Wembley? Ask Jurgen, he's driving the train!...

When we went down to Bournemouth for the League Cup in November the country was being hit by Storm Ciaren.  This time it was Storm Isha doing its worst to blow the country apart.  Thankfully Liverpool had taken Diego Jota and Darwin Nunez as wind blocks, and they did what the manager and travelling fans...

I watched the Liverpool Under 18 side beat the Arsenal Under 18's 7-1 in the FA Youth Cup. Brilliant goals and a great performance. Koumas [3]m Danns and Kone-Doherty two each....

If there's an argument to make League Cup semi-finals a straight knock out, this was it. Liverpool looked a bit misshapen and disorganised in the first half and Fulham deservedly led 1-0 at halftime.  Second half was better and the crowd came to life. Darwin Nunez came on and lo and behold Liverpool scored twice....

This should have gone on here after the Arsenal Cup-tie but I forgot. What a Cup game it was. We looked liked we were taking a beating in the first half with Arsenal having a glut of chances but somehow we survived.  They'd hit the woodwork and we'd scrambled the ball away. Maybe the first...

Newcastle rolled into town wanting to get something out of the game. They got something. They got battered. The score doesn't do the performance justice but you can blame the Newcastle 'keeper for that. Yep, we missed chances, plenty of them, we missed a penalty but scored one. We let in two that the coaching...
