Terrific Trident, and a Sensational Scouser – Reds Thrash Bournemouth 3-0

Any suggestions that the foot might be taken off the Premier League pedal were emphatically blown away at Anfield as Liverpool got themselves a routine 3-0 win against Bournemouth.

Inevitably, that’s where they got their goal; a lovely weighted through ball saw Trent caught...

He is an international footballer who plays for Liverpool, which in my eyes, makes you fairly decent at what you do for a living. I am fully aware that it's all relative, and that he should...
