Liverpool Football Club is in dire need of a central defender, but that’s been the case for a few years now. A few months ago, I was originally satisfied with our current depth. We had Sakho, Lovren, new boy Joel Matip, then there’s Joe Gomez who’d make his return after a long spell out last […]
The words ‘Mamadou Sakho’ and ‘drugs test’ must resonate with all Liverpool supporters as a moment where they feared for our subsequent defensive collapse as the season came to an end. The imperious French international had finally won round any remaining doubters and was being lauded as a future captain. When the news broke, I […]
The blame game is funny. Liverpool lose and it’s almost like some fans go out of their way to criticise a player they dislike even if their only at 10% fault for the goal that lost the Reds the match. Narrow minded doesn’t do it justice. Like a bull locked on to a red flag, […]

Seeing the players singing, smiling and dancing while showing their appreciation for Touré shows how much of a cult hero Kolo Touré has become […]
What’s your favourite funny sight in football? For me, it always used to be the keeper getting sent off. There’s the hilarity of an outfield player having to go in goal and we are treated to the joy of the massively oversized shirt, the big flapping gloves and, if the footballing Gods are smiling upon […]
“No no, no no nono, no no nono, no no nono Toure” Admittedly, that was poor. But then again, it appears Liverpool’s resident Ivorian has been playing in a similar run of form leading many Liverpool fans to sit wincing at their television as Kolo Toure runs  rings around himself, looking as though he is […]
