I WAS commentating on the Napoli vs PSG game on Tuesday night. The good news is that it was a draw, the bad news is that it was a bloody good draw. If Liverpool are to play any Champions League football after New Year, they will first need to play some of that...
WE could have played till the fucking cows — those famous, wondering cows who fucked off years ago and have been having the time of their lives, eating grass and fucking lying down — come home. Sometimes things don’t fall for you, sometimes things don’t go...
Liverpool’s progression from Champions League Group C is now in the balance after an embarrassing defeat away to Red Star Belgrade. Joining Andy Heaton for post match reaction is Lizzi Doyle, Fuad Hassan and Craig Hannan. To hear the full version of our...
WE’VE conquered all of Europe. We’ve seemingly decided to have a rest. Let’s get this out the way… Red Star played well in the first half, picked their moments well and produced two excellent finishes. They did sensible things in the second. It...

YOU want to see our spec there, you know. Gazprom have our season ticket spec in the Kemlyn for a jolly band of Russians, Serbs, wools and fat fellas so we get lashed elsewhere for the Euro games. Tough shit, lads. Thanks for the warm up. Our spec is row nine behind...
Liverpool see off Red Star Belgrade at Anfield in their second Champions League home game at Anfield this season in routine fashion. Joining Neil Atkinson for immediate reaction are Paul Senior, Emily Dona and Phil Blundell. To hear the full version of our immediate...
YOU say you’ve got to go home. It is always someone’s first game. Always someone’s first time. This is important to remember when you rock up to Anfield giving few fucks, striding through the gloaming as the nights draw in. Remember this is...
IT’S turning out to be a strange old season, this one. I genuinely don’t know how I feel about it. I mean, I’m happy, I think. Yeah, I must be. A good barometer of my football contentedness is my inclination to watch other teams play football. I’m watching any old...
THE celebrations in those closing minutes at Stamford Bridge on Saturday tea time, were full blooded, defiant and maybe will come to be seen as disproportionate. We are apt to do this. I was part of an away end at Villa Park in Brendan Rogers last season that properly...
