Liverpool 1 Burnley 1

September 26, 2017

 

Football can be so annoying and games like this don’t help.  The Stats tell you one thing and they bombard you with them but they’re all so pointless.  The only one that matters is the result.  We ran out of ideas pretty quickly and when Burnley took the lead I feared the worse but we...

Liverpool 2 Seville 2

September 14, 2017

 

All things considered this was a decent enough game and I thought a draw was a fair enough result.  We have to live now with our defending deficiencies and strange goalkeeping rotations, not that Karius was to blame for the goals we conceded in this game.  We came back well after the early setback and...

Manchester is full of Sh1t by Wm Sheikh-speare

September 12, 2017

 

Why would a bunch of Arabs buy a toilet, albeit a brand spanking (?)  new one ? I always used to think Citeh fans were a bit better than their Manc brethren, but after Saturday, when we happened to be a few seats away from the refugees and squatters from Wythenshawe and Mosside, I can’t...

Manchester City 5 Liverpool 0

September 12, 2017

 

There can be no doubt the sending off of Mane changed the game and whether or not he should have been sent off depends on where you sit. I thought it was harsh and there was no intent or malice. Others think it was right but agree there was no intent or malice.  It might...

Liverpool 4 Arsenal 0

August 29, 2017

 

So Arsenal didn’t turn up?  That’s how it sounded when the media summed up the game.  Maybe Arsenal turned up, saw what was coming so got out the way?  Anyone would give a Juggernaut a wide berth!  We looked brilliant almost from the off and it was more about the fact Arsenal just couldn’t handle...

Liverpool 4 Hoffenheim 2

August 24, 2017

 

The puzzle isn’t solved.  At one end of the pitch Liverpool look like classical composers [forget heavy metal] with all kinds of orchestral manoeuvres in the dark even if their supposed conductor has gone AWOL - or doing a bit of swinging the lead.  At the other end Liverpool just looked in the dark and...

Liverpool 1 Crystal Palace 0

August 24, 2017

 

For about three quarters of this game there was the feeling the bogeyman was sitting somewhere waiting to pounce.  Jürgen is either a very cool customer or a gamblin’ man making so many changes for just the second game of the season and the first one at home.  I only got into my seat as...

The Blog #2

August 17, 2017

 

Just two days to go before the first home game of the season and following the game in Germany there should be a dose of excitement around the fields of Anfield Road but instead there’s probably an equal amount of trepidation, frustration mixed in with anticipation. What will be the topic of conversation leading up to...

Hoffenheim 1 Liverpool 2

August 16, 2017

 

It might not have been perfect but like Jürgen said, it was okay.  An away win in Europe regardless has to be seen as a good result but as the old cliché says, we’re only half way through.  In the greater scheme of things Hoffenheim aren’t one of the biggest clubs in Germany but they...

Football Crazy By Graham Mack

August 15, 2017

 

English football clubs are missing out on revenue because of a dumb rule THEY agreed to more than fifty years ago. We got news this week that it’s going to get harder to watch the Premier League on TV this season. A lot of people have been watching games on Kodi through PCs, X-Boxes, Google TV and...
