It’s getting ugly. Well, technically it’s been getting ugly for a while. But the Wolves debacle was the nadir of a trying season. I hate it when people say that a performance “was the worst for 10, 20, even 40 years”. You can’t line them all up and compare at the same time. But really, [...]
Roy Hodgson, in his own inimitable, lugubrious way, said the other week that he should not be blamed for Liverpool’s poor first half of the season; it’s not his team, and only when he has more of his players will he take responsibility for the results. Ergo, it’s Benítez’s team, therefore it’s Benítez’s fault. Around [...]
I’m back to take another depressing look at the chalkboards. Skipped a few games in between largely down to the fact that the chalkboards didn’t have any interesting tale to tell. While the news from the Wolves game isn’t positive, there are a few things worth noting. I’m still trying to understand how we lined [...]
Good luck to Roy Hodgson. On many levels he’ll need it. Then again, maybe he won’t. The press seem to love him, so that’s one fewer battle he’ll face than Benítez.
Date: 1st Jan 2011 Venue: Anfield Kick Off: 3pm Competition: Preview: If someone had suggested to me a couple of years ago that there’d come a stage in the near future where I’d be envious of Bolton’s tactics, league position AND manager, I’d have gently slapped said person in the face with a sausage roll [...]
By Joe Pepper. Liverpool FC at the end of 2010 is unrecognisable from the Liverpool FC as it was at the end of 2009 (well, ok – the middle of 2009). There has been so much water under the bridge that it’s difficult to identify exactly what went wrong, where, when and whose fault it [...]
Liverpool should be feeling refreshed and invigorated following their impromptu 14 day break from competitive action, while Wolves may be heading into this clash low on confidence following their 2-1 defeat at home to Wigan on Boxing Day, a result which saw the West Midlanders replacing West Ham at the bottom of the table.
Despite the presence of heavyweights such as KUMB, Republik of Mancunia and Arseblog, we’ve gone for The Tomkins Times for the insightful news coverage and analysis of all things Liverpool.
With Rafa’s apparent departure from Inter Milan, there’s a growing bandwagon calling for his return to the Liverpool hot seat. For some, that time can’t come soon enough. But as ever, it’s a complex issue.
With 2010 drawing to an end, I thought it was time to look back at some of my personal highlights and lowlights from a quite bizarre year that included a court case covered with live text updates that mirrored the anxiety of a World Cup Final penalty shootout. And excitement on the pitch? – not so [...]
