“You sign an agreement; you make a contract, you live up to it. You never get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate. You got a right to say yay or nay…” Don King Rooney coming home, Vardy back in form, Giroud off the bench, Matic in Manchester, Lukaku looking awesome and the champions […]
And so, the start is near. The Premier League will begin the 25th year of its life, and the most successful club in its history will be opening their trophy cabinet once again. ‘But why!?’, I hear you scream into your monitor. ‘United finished sixth (SIXTH) last year!’ or ‘Pogba completely failed to perform’ or […]
Liverpool’s recent comprehensive 3-0 defeat at Watford, in which they were totally outplayed, made me chuckle. Not because I have anything against the club, but because of how silly it looks to have been talking them up as title contenders just a few weeks ago. It also showed how much work there is to do […]

But what is the greater significance? Was Sterling wrong to leave Liverpool? Why does £49 million sound so outrageous? And what exactly has […]
Television and social media have been midwives to the birth of a new generation of capricious supporter – a strange and intensely emotional meat sack who only deals in extremes. These “fans” will openly abuse and denigrate their own players if they aren’t meeting their required standards on the pitch. Through a combination of terrace […]
“We’re going to win the league, we’re going to win the league.” This time last year every Liverpool fan was standing tall, singing aloud, bouncing in unison and feeling like the Champions elect. The team were playing the most exciting attacking football in living memory, demolishing teams with rapier-like efficiency and scoring goals by the […]
The 1980s were a simpler, but in many ways a better time. A tweet was a bird’s way of talking shite and not a humans, One Direction hadn’t been born yet, Mr T still wasn’t going on no plane and everyone dreamed of what it would be like after the year 2000 when everyone’s chosen […]
