OH, man – that first half! Jesus Christ. Heavy going, that. We were sound and then Milner cut his head and The Reds started acting the goat. Miles in their legs can’t have helped. Big fan of having a nervous last 10 minutes for nothing. Fucking hell… Adrian: 6 A...
IT’S the Super Cup. It’s against Chelsea, who are led by the only man in Great Britain going baldy quicker than Joe Hart. I’m a baldy spotter by trade now. Can see them hairs getting finer from a mile away. Lampard will be lashing sun cream on his scalp before you can...
HERE we are again. The summer was boss, weren’t it? Unbearable bastards everywhere sixing there head off. Spent circa 30 per cent of Glastonbury pretending to lift the European Cup. Flags all over the gaff getting pictures taken, six fingers erected all over the...
MADRID Airport. Sunday, June 2. I mean, I was up at 6.45am, not a mark on me. No hangover, no nothing. Mine was an unusual Champions League final day. Friday night, you see, got a smidgen out of hand. European Cup nerves and that, the ale flew, bevied twice in a day....
I MEAN, you can all fuck off if you think I’m in any mental state to rate these lads out of 10 after that. Ninety-seven points and haven’t won the league. Fuck me. Brief these because, you know what, I haven’t fucking got it in me. Alisson: 10 Best keeper in the...
I WAS at a low ebb there before kick off. Specifically in ours all day. This shit doesn’t seem fair. I needed something, someone to get me back on track, some kind of affirmation as to why footy is the greatest thing in the world. Met the lads for four pints before...
BEEN listening to a lot of modern-day hymns today. My mental state in relation to this league title is basically this track by Kevin Morby. Oh my Lord, come carry me home, Oh my Lord, come carry me home, Oh my God, Oh my Lord, Oh my God, Gotten to weak for this heavy...
Alisson: 7 His footwork for the Coutinho shot first half is like Fred Astaire. Couldn’t do a thing about any of their goals which is a shame for all concerned. Maybe he could have lined his wall up a bit better. I don’t know, I’m not a keeper. Joey Gomez: 7 Played...
Alisson: 8 I reckon I’m giving him a couple of points for not sitting down first half. Like, lashing his boots off, spreading a blanket out and maybe eating some cheese and crackers. Made a good save second half which frankly he should have been lying down for,...
OH. My. God. I mean, you can’t watch that fucking match and not think The Reds are not going to somehow win the league. We are fucking spawny, la. How hasn’t that lad scored? How hasn’t he scored? How hasn’t it at least hit his massive head and gone in instead of it...
