As football fans I consider us to be a blessed bunch.
Blessed to experience an emotional onslaught for ninety minutes that will elevate us to ridiculous highs one second then punch us in the stomach the next. Sometimes magical, sometimes shit, but always life affirming, always passionate.
Blessed to be able to converse like old friends...
"We have enough strikers – five with Roberto – but not too many wingers, just a few young ones with great potential."
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp gave fans the biggest Easter egg yet with regards to his summer transfer plans when he implied that Liverpool are a bit light in the winger department. It's...
Social media blew up in response to an interview that BT Sport pundit and former Liverpool player Michael Owen gave to the Daily Mirror. In it, Owen was asked about current Reds star Roberto Firmino and his response was surprising; he said he was split on him and claimed that he’d played well against...
The Walking Dead without Rick Grimes. Dexter without Dexter. Breaking Bad without Walt. The Sopranos without Tony. Game of Thrones without, erm, Jon Snow? Some TV shows need that one character that's synonymous with it. The one character that you just can't imagine the show working without them. The long running soap known as...
The life of a football supporter eh? If I knew then what I know now I’d have to ask myself, are you sure you want to get involved?

We should not get...
Football fans are the masters of kicking players when they're down. You would think that when someone is in dire need of our support and love, we would shower them with comfort and reassurance, messages of positive praise or maybe some motivational quotes to boost their already dwindled confidence. But what do we do...
I don’t think it would be unfair to say that it’s been a strange old season so far. For want of a better analogy, it has been a genuine rollercoaster ride, with high points quickly hitting the lows before zipping up back to the peaks again. It’s one of those years where anything can...
When times are darkest and everything seems hopeless people tend to gravitate towards something to believe in and as Liverpool fans we are no different. Yet at the end of the Hicks and Gillette era at Liverpool there was very little to believe in. The club was at the brink of financial demise and...
You know when you’re at a party or in a pub and your mates start talking enthusiastically about a mutual friend? About how funny he/she is etc. or how wise maybe, but you can’t help but feel that, when it comes to it, they’re not all that? Well, that was my Wednesday night.
