    The Aftermath: After Meeting Benítez

    The Aftermath: After Meeting Benítez

    Perhaps naively, I didn’t expect this much coverage of my work when I went to meet Benítez; had Liverpool not been on a losing streak, most people wouldn’t have cared less. As such, I feel compelled to write a follow-up piece, to illustrate a couple of further points, and explain for those who might not [...]

    Win Together, Lose Together (Uncut)

    Lucas, Gerrard & Mascherano vs Chelsea

    Just a quick freebie post in response to the number of emails I’ve had today taking me to task for defending Lucas. The following is just one example, from a season ticket holder: “And with regards to the Chelsea game you can count the amount of times Lucas was actually involved in the game on [...]
