I think the last time I wrote anything about Hillsborough was on Dec 19th, 2012. A cold and drizzly day but I don’t remember feeling either of them on my skin. Walking away from the Royal Courts of Justice my only thought was one of hope. The old coroner’s inquests had just been quashed...
Based in the tiny City of Vila-Real in the Comunitat Valenciana on the East Coast of Spain, Villarreal have arguably been the 21st century’s biggest football over-achievers. With a stadium that could fit half the city’s population, the club captivated the football world back in 2006 when they reached the Champions League semi-final with...
Sidelined defender Mamadou Sakho is facing a nervous 24 hours after UEFA gave Liverpool notification on Friday that the central defender had tested positive for a banned substance after the Europa League fixture versus Manchester United on March 17th. A decision, by Europe’s governing body, is set to be announced on Tuesday (April 26th).

Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic, tra la la la, tra la la la…
Those words rained down from the Kop last Wednesday as Everton limped to a humiliating defeat at the hands of Liverpool. Four – nil, could have been eight, should have been really.
And yet as a Liverpool fan watching on, it was...
Football needs rivalry.
It adds an extra element to occasion. Winning is incentive enough but bragging rights and pride being up for grabs just intensifies it. As a Liverpool fan whenever the fixtures are released at the start of the season I instinctively look for the matches against Manchester United and Everton. The feelings towards...
Boom. Boss, tha. Sehr Gut. Etc. That was alright, wasn’t it?
A 4-0 win over the Ev, after a 4-3 win against Dortmund. It’s all glossed over a lovely Sunday afternoon kick around against Stoke, as we stuck yet another four goals past the Potters – a team Liverpool have struggled against ever since Tony...
Don't be alarmed but Daniel Sturridge has a cult following. These people are next level groupies. They wear Daniel Sturridge shaped rose tinted glasses and sleep in homemade Daniel Sturridge dancing man silhouette pyjamas. It's not reached Jonestown levels yet but it can't be far off.
