Chelsea 1 Liverpool 2

September 18, 2016

I don’t know what was supposed to be spectacular about the pre-match explosion of lights down at Stamford Bridge because once Liverpool got going everything seemed dull by comparison. I’m a fully paid up, life and honorary member of the cynics club but those first forty-five minutes at Stamford Bridge for the benefit of...

Liverpool 4 Leicester 1

On a weekend when the hype surrounding at least one game in the Premier Division was Sky high and Mario Balotelli said joining Liverpool was biggest mistake of his life – and the list of his mistakes is very long – what a pleasure it was to watch a performance from the current crop that...

Firstly may I add my condolences to the family of Gerry McIver who passed away during the summer. For those who may not know; Gerry was a driving force behind the HJC and did tireless work for the Justice Campaign. He was also a good friend of this Fanzine and we will not...

I don’t know whether we should be happy with a point at White Hart Lane or not. It seemed as if there was something missing including a corner of the ground that’s vanished as Spurs start preparing for their new stadium. The positives and negatives might have both been the same, meaning we were better...

Burton 0 Liverpool 5

Organising One In A Brewery: All a bit different was our first trip to Burton Albion. “We’re heading in early to get a decent spec” said Lord & Lady Gowing. ‘Chips, Faggots and Peas £3’ said the menu. Entrance to Terrace said the sign above the turnstile. Liverpool win 5-0 against...

Burnley 2 Liverpool 0

After The Lord Mayors Show: Hard to fathom out what happened at Turf Moor. This showing was little different to the miserable stuff served up at places like Watford last season. There can be no excuse whatsoever; this Manè apart was probably the best side available. The only thing that stood out...

Gooners 3 Liverpool 4

What can you say after a game like that? Some stunning Liverpool games and some not so good defending? All had a familiar ring to it, a bit like in the ‘nearly season’ under Brendan. Coutinho and Manè were outstanding and when he came on I thought Origi did what Rush used...

AS STEVE GERRARD ONCE FAMOUSLY SAID “WE GO AGAIN”

New season, new players, new hopes. Whenever a new season begins every football supporter in the country hopes the new season will fulfil their dreams, for some it’s about titles, for others survival although I’m not sure what Leicester City and their new found followers will be hoping for this season. However, staying...

AFTER BASEL

Going back to that night in Basel I think it summed up our whole season but our shortcomings didn’t just get exposed in Switzerland they’d been there for a long time. We didn’t lose against Seville because of any one player, or any particular incident we lost because collectively that Liverpool team couldn’t defend...

Welcome to the first issue of the 2016/17 campaign. It’s out earlier than intended because I didn’t expect our first home game of the season to be played in September and after the first International break. The original plan was to bring the Fanzine out to coincide with the start of the new...
