    Parallel universe, same outcome

    Piece submitted to .tv 23.2.09, but wanted to use it here too, just in case it's not seen as appropriate. I want to pose what I hope is an interesting philosophical question.  It involves something bordering on a parallel universe, but only in the loose sense; I’m obviously no astrophysicist (although I did once nearly [...]

    Your Support Is Requested

    If you are a fan of my writing, this applies to you. If you hate what I do, it certainly won’t; you have my permission to go tend your turnips or plait your naval hair. The wonder that is the internet leads to a culture of getting things for free. I cannot complain too much, [...]

    Idiot of the Day

    Anyone who emails me idiotic nonsense will go into my hall of shame known as ‘Idiot of the Day’. I happily enter into constructive discussions when I am able to, and admit my mistakes, as I did with my most recent blog. But idiots are idiots are idiots.  I'll use this as a blog to [...]

    Benítez vs Ferguson: continuation and clarification of yesterday’s blog

    To follow on from yesterday's piece, I have submitted this article to liverpoolfc.tv, but also chosen to use it on my blog, as it refers to the same points raised on here. Following my piece earlier in the week, I want to expand on a couple of the themes and clarify one small mistake on [...]

    United rely on Ronaldo and Rooney more than Reds rely on Gerrard and Torres

    This blog was initially an excerpt taken from an article submitted to www.liverpoolfc.tv over the weekend –– thought the stats were so incredible it was worth sharing with those who don't visit the official site.  However, due to Setanta being a media partner of LFC, the full article is going to be edited, which I [...]

    Why Keano Had To Go

    Robbie Keane is a fine footballer. So why didn’t it work out at Liverpool? Well, first of all, perhaps Keane couldn’t deal with the pressure. Leeds were flying when he was there, but he failed to really shine. He also failed to make an impression at Inter Milan, but was young and barely there for [...]

    Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t

    My thoughts on the Chelsea game are in my column on the official site, but I thought I’d share some further views on the events of the past week, particularly the media’s (and some fans’) treatment of Benítez’s every decision, and the Robbie Keane saga. Criticism of Benítez really went into overdrive in January.  As [...]
