Well that was a long two weeks, wasn’t it. Just as we found our shooting boots at Anfield we ran slap bang into an international break.

I have endured the immediate aftermath of both tortuous defeats and comprehensive triumphs down the years. Just a year ago we shipped eight goals in our third Premiership fixture. The feelings are extreme, and need to be brought under control a little before reviewing what has just happened. Apologies if my gut-feel tweets irk at […]

It’s probably not the best idea to start a post at five minutes past transfer deadline, but the effects of the Guinness and whisky are ‘liberating‘ (I may choose a different word when I read this back in the morning). The customary preview will take up precious little of the post. If you want a […]
