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...
WENT to Portugal once. Room had no hot water. Jib it. Alisson: 8 Backs himself, like, doesn’t he? First minute, I’m him getting the ball to feet and I’m fucking head down, blammo, kicking it into the Atlantic. This fella is looking to play at every opportunity. Makes...
I DON’T know about you but I need this fucking season to hurry up and end. I’m like fourth season Bubs at this point. A ghost of a man. Hollowed out. Somehow, this morning I agreed to buy my bird a caravan if The Reds win the league. A fucking caravan. Like a...
Alisson: 7 Made two good saves in about a minute and then didn’t have loads to do. I write the same thing every fucking week, don’t I? Arnold: 8 Back up there with his best. Good defensively, good going forward. Great run for the second, great ball. Is right. Virgil:...
Southampton Half time. Fuck me with a fucking big shiny shovel. Southampton Full time. Fuck me with a big shiny shovel. Alisson 7/10 Nothing to do first half but open his mouth in disgust at the shit show happening in front of him. Nothing to do second half except...
