"My one regret in life is that I am not someone else."
Woody Allen
All of us know the irksome sting of regret. How many times have you, dear reader, walked away from a verbal confrontation, thwarted by your own inarticulacy, only to be imbued later with what the French call l'esprit de l'escalier - staircase...
"If you want to be happy, be."
Leo Tolstoy
"You're in pretty good shape, for the shape that you are in."
Dr. Seuss
An unusual thing can happen when one is confronted with the disquietingly fragile nature of one's own mortality. Instead of becoming maudlin and resentful of the unseen forces threatening to extinguish life, sometimes the reaction...
Liverpool’s lack of goals, both this season and last, have become something of a concern. So far this season, before victory against Chelsea this past weekend, Liverpool had scored more than one goal in a Premier League match on only one occasion, against a woeful Aston Villa side. A tally of just 52 goals...
You all know, I'm no advocate of Brendan Rodgers. There are have been several articles and podcasts that I've been on where I've slated, bemoaned, and even be-damned our former manager.
But, if we're honest with one another, we wouldn't be in this current position without him.
Going back a little, we were a club that...

60% possession. 20% conversion. 100% killed-it.
The Heavy Metal Juggernaut has arrived.
If people thought Klopp was going to iron-out the creases, then they’ve got more than they bargained for. He bulldozed them.
This was a...
The title is not misleading; Liverpool dismantled Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp had a gameplan and executed it to perfection.
I would be lying if I said I was shocked at Liverpool truly putting Chelsea to the sword.
I have been confident about it this week and, had Christian Benteke been fit enough to start, people may have been...
For a Liverpool fan, there are very few feelings that can top the joy at the final whistle of a victory over our age-old rivals, Everton and Manchester United. What could be sweeter than wins over your local rivals and long-term competitive rivals? Well, the answer to that of course is beating Chelsea.
The Liverpool...
“He’s big and he’s fucking hard.”
He was our Captain. He was our Leader. He was our “Never-Miss-Set-Piece-Taker.” Now, he is our biggest regret.
When Gerrard left for LA Galaxy, I was pleased. I was excited to see a new team, a new Captain, going in a new direction.
Maybe the disappointment of the 14/15 season was...

You can’t go a minute without hearing something about Klopp these days – and it’s no wonder. Even though he’s barely warmed his feet managing Liverpool, Klopp’s already shown that he knows what he does and that he puts his heart into this which is probably a big reason as to why everyone seems...
