Not What We Wanted

December 14, 2024

 

Posted at 19:35h in Uncategorized by

A goal adrift and down to ten men after 15 minutes wasn't what we were expecting.  Any good cheer disappeared as Robbo walked down the tunnel. At halftime the only positive was it was still only 1-0. When Gakpo levelled a couple of minutes after the break we waited for the onslaught but the weight...

Darragh Wipes Out Liverpool And Everton

December 7, 2024

 

Posted at 13:02h in Uncategorized by

I wasn't disappointed when the derby was called off because of Storm Darragh.  Definitely unfit for football. The positive for Liverpool is that players now get a bit more rest and the Euro game in Girona isn't the most important game of the Champions League campaign. Arne can rest a few, give pitch time to...

Tough in Toon

Drawing at Newcastle isn't then end of the word is it? Unfortunately our defence fell apart when maybe we needed them most. Watertight at home but is it an open door away? Once again Mo [nearly] bailed us out with another two goals and a crossbar away from a hattrick but this time we couldn't...

That’ll Do Nicely

December 1, 2024

Every game feels like a must win game and we needed to beat Manchester City. The Arsenal and Chelsea results show they're in the race but we did what we had to do against Manchester City and that is we won.  We deserved it. Anfield bayed and Anfield got what it wanted.  Mo set Cody...

Oh What A Night

November 28, 2024

I was there the last time we beat Real Madrid at Anfield. Seems like it was in a different lifetime. This time we were brilliant and the 2-0 margin only flattered Madrid. The best atmosphere for a Euro game since the Barca night and we deserved everything we got. Everyman was a king, even though...

Walking Through The Storm

November 25, 2024

 

Posted at 08:33h in Uncategorized by

For some, looking at Southampton [bottom] v Liverpool [top] it looked a sure thing Liverpool win.  However, add Storm Bert and the elements to the game and things change.  We didn't play anywhere near to the level usually required but in the end we won.  Szoboszlai put us in front but Saints turned it around...

Black Rock

Darwin Nunez scored the first in a 2-0 win, probably should have scored another. Mo Salah wrapped the points up five minutes from the end of normal time which made the final countdown easier to cope with. Only this game wasn't just about the men who scored the goals, it was more about Ibou Konate....

Fireworks Again

November 6, 2024

 

Posted at 09:12h in Uncategorized by

I don't know what they're giving the players at halftime but it seems to work. The first half was a case of both teams cancelling each other out and it was all a bit subdued. Then came the second half and Luis Diaz lighting up the night sky in the way the fireworks had done...

Damp Squibs & Sky Rockets

November 2, 2024

 

Posted at 19:53h in Uncategorized by

This was the ultimate tale of two halves surely? With bonfire night on the horizon the first half was the damp squib that has ruined many a Guy Fawkes night. We were lucky it was only one-nil to Brighton. Second half, well maybe a fifteen minute spell, the was the the total opposite. Alright,...

The Cup That Cheers

October 31, 2024

 

Posted at 08:59h in Uncategorized by

We move on the League Cup after beating Brighton. Two great goals from Cody Gakpo and another from Luis Diaz got us through but the outstanding player on the night had to be our third choice goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros. An early save and then the best of the night when he turned a header onto...
