Prior to tonight, we had won each of our previous four games by a three-goal margin. So I can hardly proclaim that...
Take the three points and run
That’s three. Hopefully nine more to come before the season’s end. We rode our luck a few times last night against Watford,...
Three at the back wasn’t needed – control in midfield was
Cast your mind back to last summer (or many summers previous, for that matter) and you will recall the cries for a...

And away we go…
It’s going to be one of those seasons, isn’t it ? Certainly if yesterday’s win at Arsenal is anything to go by;...
Some puzzling transfer activity still plaguing us
This time last summer I was wondering what exactly James Milner added to our midfield that Jordan Henderson didn’t already give us,...
Let’s thank our lucky stars that LFC’s ‘England’ days are soon to be behind us
If you’re English, you might still be feeling the humiliation from the events of last night. It was a shambolic, gutless, pathetic...
Europa loss could be the final nail in the coffin for certain underperformers

Fan Opinion : League season petering out – one last warm up before Basel

Fan Opinion : Solid display to make one of Europe’s top sides look ordinary
Few teams have felt the satisfaction of taking any kind of result away from a matchup against Borussia Dortmund recently. And while...
