Question of the Day: How is it possible that an intelligent man, highly educated in the physical sciences, is completely incapable of hanging a duvet cover over a washing line? No, it doesn’t make sense to me either. I’m staring out of the patio windows and weeping at my own ineptitude. Does anybody know of [...]

Liverpool 1 Unirea Urziceni 0
It’s Thursday. It’s Channel 5. It’s the Europa League. It’s…not where Liverpool want to be.
Oh well, you just have to get on with it, don’t you?
This wasn’t exactly the most inspiring of fixtures, against half-fit Romanian opposition, but at least there was an opportunity to put in a good display and get [...]

On the whole, I’m not a superstitious person, but there’s one spurious belief that I have: don’t tempt fate. One specific sub-set of this rule is that you shouldn’t record Match of the Day before your team play, just in case they don’t win.
This is an unnecessarily obtuse way of saying that I missed the [...]

Liverpool 1 Everton 0
There’s always an extra edge when you play in a derby match, but the crucial thing today was for Liverpool to try and pick up all three points. Yes, I know it’s a cliché, but it also happens to be true.
Like all true derbies, there wasn’t a great deal of football played, but the Reds were [...]

Liverpool 2 Bolton 0
Do you remember the days when I’d spend Saturday afternoons frustratedly trying to get the match on an unreliable internet stream? They seem like such a distant memory.
This match report comes ‘live’ from me watching the potted highlights on Match of the Day. Which I’ve sky-plussed.
You can’t really tell how [...]

Wolves 0 Liverpool 0
Another disappointing result for Liverpool: a toothless goalless draw.
Luckily, it wasn’t on telly and I didn’t think to get an internet stream, so there’s two hours of my life that I didn’t waste.
My football blogging has been rather half-hearted lately, truly reflecting Liverpool’s indifferent season. Let’s hope that they have an [...]

Liverpool 2 Spurs 0
It was a crucial win for Liverpool last night, both in terms of league position and for the players’ fragile confidence. The match was bookended by two Dirk Kuyt goals. The first was a classy strike on 6 minutes, the second was a cooly struck, re-taken penalty, in injury time.
The result may well have been [...]

Stoke City 1 Liverpool 1
After Wednesday’s humiliating defeat to Reading, and with Gerrard, Torres and Benayoun out injured, would any of Liverpool’s squad be able to step up and show a bit of commitment? One things for certain, if you’re playing away at Stoke then you’re definitely going to need to be committed.
It was something of a change of [...]

Liverpool 1 Reading 2 aet
I didn’t have the time or energy to write about Liverpool’s latest humiliation, last night. I’m not sure that I can really be bothered writing about it now.
I won’t dwell on the details, other than to say that Reading thoroughly deserved to win. That should tell you just about everything that you need [...]

Reading 1 Liverpool 1
Bleeding rubbish.
Luckily, I was talking to Dr Angel while the match was on, so I didn’t dwell on it at all. It’s the only answer to the problem of a crap football team.
I don’t really have anything else to add.
