I’m not sure my poor old ticker can take much more. Once again, if you watched this and don’t understand what makes people so passionate about the game then you need a check-up from the neck up. That was just about everything, good and bad, wrapped up in ninety-five minutes of high drama. I’ll say […]

Sometimes when you least expect a day to go well for you, it gives you the most gloriously unexpected pleasures. The morning started better than I had envisaged when Emmanuel Frimpong made a hilarious appearance on Soccer am, or whatever it may be called these days. I am not a regular viewer. For those who […]

That is ‘Anfield without Andrey’. Arshavin has gone. Not only him, but Julio ‘Beast’ Baptista too. The two players to have smashed in four goals for us at Liverpool in recent seasons are no longer around. A hat-trick in this fixture would be a dull day for an Arsenal player, so perhaps I should look […]
