Steven Gerrard: We Need Our Centre Back

“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.

Thanks For Making Us Dream Brendan

It all went a bit sour in the last 12 months of Brendan Rodgers’ reign. Turgid football, plenty of excuses and pathetic digs about a bloke whitening his teeth and getting a tan. But it wasn’t always like that. Once upon a time, we were all on a rollercoaster which kept on going up and up...

Best and Worst of Recent Merseyside Derbies

Derby day is around the corner. The time of the season when the city of Liverpool unites in an amalgamation of red and blue. Little red children walk hand in hand with little blue children.
