Before I delve into the painful events of Saturday’s fixture, I think I speak for everyone when I say that I really want to get back to ‘normality’, whatever that is anymore. On a selfish note, I want to get to the match and be there seeing my team. Not even win, I’d take aContinue reading “Leicester 3-1 Liverpool: Why we’ve got to get behind Klopp now.”

Liverpool 1-4 Manchester City: The Breakdown.
Well. An interesting weekend of sport brings me to an unfamiliar position, writing about Liverpool’s second Premier League defeat in a row. In times like these it becomes obvious that Liverpool fans like myself have perhaps taken for granted the plethora of victories which Klopp has given us over the past few seasons. That beingContinue reading “Liverpool 1-4 Manchester City: The Breakdown.”
Southampton FC: Not again?
Where to start with this one? Since November of 2019 all that any commentator manages to regurgitate about the Saints seems to be about ‘that’ nine-nil loss. Well, until now. The last time they were beaten in such fashion was at home to Leicester City’s rampant foxes. The loss of that winter followed Hasenhuttl’s SaintsContinue reading “Southampton FC: Not again?”
Fistful Of Steel
At the time of writing, elite sports aren’t available for public consumption at all times. I think I speak for everyone when I say “Wow, I miss footy”. Of course, the events in the world right now take centre stage when it comes to what we’re all thinking about, over sports. It’s something I mentionedContinue reading “Fistful Of Steel”
Black Magic
As I’ve previously mentioned, music can be linked with any memory that a person holds. For me, driving across the county with my Dad (on our way to my youth football fixtures) listening to The Doors, Metallica and The Beatles will stick with me forever. I must have been six or seven years old whenContinue reading “Black Magic”
Come Together
The very last thing I aim to do, here, is bombard anybody with stats or guilt-trip anyone when speaking of the notorious COVID-19 (unless you’ve been rinsing shops of their products, none of us need that). It feels almost impossible to write without mentioning this virus. 22 March 2020, the date that The Reds couldContinue reading “Come Together”
In My Life
All These Places Had Their Moments. Frankly, the iconic track by The Fab Four (that’s The Beatles to anyone who’s yet to be enlightened) sums up the greatest relationship of them all. Every football fan will tell you that part of their match day routine involves music. To me, music and footy are inseparable. AllContinue reading “In My Life”
It’s Not What You Know, It’s Who You Wear.
A Certain Romance Terrace fashion. The largest sub-culture remaining in the modern football world. I find that this interests me more and more as I grow up. A sort-of interdependence between the thrill of seeing your team and doing so wearing Stone Island dominates this topic. As humans we really do seek to belong, toContinue reading “It’s Not What You Know, It’s Who You Wear.”
The Long And Winding Road
Thirty Years of Domestic Disappointment Since I can remember, my mind has solely focused on just one thing. That one thing that is head and shoulders above the rest. I found that in Liverpool Football Club. Thanks to my father, a lifelong red (and scouser through and through), the tribal nature of supporting the redsContinue reading “The Long And Winding Road”
