John W Henry’s famous tweet directed at Arsenal came to mind this week. “What do you think they’re smoking at the Emirates?” he wrote when the London club tried to prise Luis Suarez away from Anfield for £40 million plus £1 a decade ago. The Gunners may be making FSG’s top dog uncomfortable again. Arsenal’s […]
So myself and Trev were having a chat because neither of us could think of what to write this week. We’d both had ideas but none of them seemed to be worth pursuing at this moment in time. It’s the transfer window, people want transfer related content and being the kind, considerate lads that we […]
I was born 12th November, 1981. My very first array of visible LFC memories probably started in the early 90’s.

The likes of Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman were part of an exciting line up that […]
In these unprecedented times of lockdown, sanitizer, empty stadiums and the Netflix / Amazon Prime binge, I’ve found myself often searching for new ways to occupy both my mind as well as my body. With the remarkable closure to a triumphant league campaign by the reds, the common football fan was greeted by the unique […]
“Liverpool will never progress if they keep selling their best players”. We’ve all heard this argument before. And on many levels, it has merit. How could you possibly hope to improve if you are forever losing your best player? How can you be strong when you are continually weakening your team? And what a weakening […]
