Ok, I really am steering clear of anything Covid-19 and I’m asking you guys to do the same unless your comments are directly related to football and or sport in general. The best way through this frightening time is by listening to our own parliamentary figures and heeding the advice they offer. I don’t want to […]
Another day in this strange world. People are dying whilst others continue to treat this Covid-19 virus as if it’s no worse than a common cold. Idiots all of them, and you if you’re one of them. Boris Johnson is giving us a bit of freedom to roam safely but if we as a country […]
Happy Mothering Sunday to all the mums out there, many of whom are self isolating, or at least should be. Mine is and whilst it was tempting to FaceTime her this morning, I resisted as I’m not sure she’d have been thrilled to see my face pop up on her screen. At 86 years old, […]

Then again, six year olds do tend to […]
The next few weeks and months are going to be tough for us all. Take care in what you do, who you mix with and just be sensible. Listen to the advice being given, especially relating to the elderly. They need looking after, of course they do but do so from a distance. Don’t put […]
Covid-19 has got its hands around the worlds neck, we know that. Sport itself is bottom of list of priorities right now. Staying fit, healthy and virus free is all what matters. What happens over the next few weeks and months as far as football goes is anyone’s guess really although logic would suggest this […]
I wrote this post quite soon after our invincible season was safe for another year but after recent goings on at Anfield well, here it is. To go unbeaten during the 2003-04 season was a remarkable achievement. Everyone at the club together with its fans knew back then that it would take a special group […]
