Villa fans will be making the trip to Wembley with renewed optimism after a surprising 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last time out. There is, however, an element of Jekyll and Hyde with the Midlands club - which side will show up? - the one that battered Sunderland 4-0 or the defensive shambles that...
Over a month ago, Liverpool played out an uninspiring draw at Anfield against Blackburn. Although a typical drab draw, the sun was shining over Merseyside. The tired looking performance did little to dampen spirits or cause concern.
Four weeks ago, Liverpool were unbeaten in the league in 2015. They had just been knocked out of...
Now that the dust has settled from the Manchester United debacle and we've endured the hysteria of a Lionel Kane inspired International break, attention turns back to the Arsenal game.
As a kid, I hated Arsenal. George Graham and his drab 1-0 functional football, not to mention them winning the title at Anfield in injury time...
I’ve heard some crazy things in my time as a football fan. Some say that Real Madrid v. Barcelona is the best match-up in the world. From the same country, the Madrid derby has been brought into consideration in recent years. Others will mention the Milan derby, the London derbies. Even the Merseyside derby...
The streak continues. Almost unbelievably, Liverpool extend their Premier League unbeaten streak to 11 matches after pulling out a fantastic victory against Manchester City at Anfield. They return to their home stadium during their weekday fixture against relegation battle Burnley, kings of the draw against larger teams. Late in Liverpool’s run of fixture congestion,...
A goal ahead on aggregate. A clean sheet at home that’s vital to the cause. A Champions League spot remains the final prize.
A return to hallowed grounds.
The result of the last match tries to proclaim slim margins, but anyone watching last week knows that wasn’t the case. Liverpool maintained a quality amount of possession...
Don’t mention the Champions League...
...except perhaps when giving a timely reminder that this season will be the first in which the winners of the Europa League gain automatic qualification for Europe’s premier competition the following season.
Would it be better for Liverpool to concentrate their efforts solely on the league and attempt to qualify via finishing...
Derby day. What more could we ask for at this point? Liverpool haven’t lost in 2015, and Everton won their first game since mid-December this past weekend. True, it was Crystal Palace, but a resurgent Palace nonetheless (insert sarcastic smirk here). Last time out, both sides were in a poor run of form and...
After an abysmal showing at Boleyn Park, the Reds face West Ham at Anfield Saturday evening. We’ve got a different story to tell this time out concerning form; back in the “wish we could forget it” month of September, Liverpool registered no Premier League wins. In fact, the only 3 points taken from that...
“Final ball, finish it off. Final ball, finish it off.” I found myself repeating this phrase over and over again during the last two cup clashes of the past week. To be fair, we’ve all been saying it pretty consistently over the course of the season, but never more so than against Chelsea and...
