FRUSTRATING game. But it’s another game of football to look forward to so Phil Blundell will be pleased. We should win there…hopefully. Anyway. Some letters followed by a number you probably won’t agree with. SIMON MIGNOLET: 6 Was fine. Could have...
IT’S the easiest thing in the world, accusing players or a team of not trying. It appeals to our basic mindset as humans. It’s not going well? Run harder. There is plenty of debate about how much Liverpool tried — or indeed should have tried —...
I HAVEN’T read Neil’s match report yet. If you haven’t either, I’ll warn you that he went down there with Rob Gutmann, which probably meant setting off about Thursday and drinking heavily throughout. So no doubt it will be even more romantic...
BEFORE the game Besiktas fans tried to set North John Street on fire. Perhaps an early sign that if Liverpool thought they were going to have everything their own way they should think again. Once the game had settled, it was clear the opposition were well drilled...
WE knew ages ago we were back in the UEFA cup after a disappointing showing at home to Basel, but tonight it really hits home as we host Besiktas at Anfield. We’ve all got a bit of a cob on about it, if we’re honest, with plenty moaning this week about the...

WELL we got there in the end. History is written by the winners and stories are changed reflecting results. With five minutes to go in normal time I was wondering how such a talented squad performing so well couldn’t manage a goal in 175 minutes against a...
WE left for Wimbledon at 2pm on Monday. Which is a time most people are normally in work. Lots of Liverpool fans will have had to try to ask for time off, bully workmates into swapping shifts or talk their boss into letting them leave early on what is traditionally...
FOOTBALL should make us all feel like a kid. There is so much noise around football now, it’s easy to forget what makes it so great. We live in a footballing world where managers talking to the press is hyped up as a main event. Where the people who live closest...
