How very interesting it was to sit down and watch Manchester United in Champions League action against Olympiacos, putting in a much better performance than that of three days previously against Liverpool (you know, the one in which we won 3-0? Remember that? Vaguely?).
After their midfielders got bypassed and played through by Liverpool, they...
For one week in March 2009, we ruled the world.
March 10th: Liverpool 4-0 Real Madrid.
March 14th: Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool.

"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...

As a solid and reliable right-back for the majority of his Liverpool career, Johnson is hitting the milestone of 50...

“Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” - Lou Holtz.
As he caresses the pitch into submission to his talent on the ball, Daniel Sturridge is rapidly proving all the doubters wrong. Signing from Chelsea for £12million at the dawn of 2013, his signing...
And some day soon, maybe next May, maybe the one after or the one after that, a middle-aged man in a suit will wade through a sea of scarves in front of the Kop, pick one up and tie it around his neck like a docker, make a defiant fist with his left hand...
