Pitches are different sizes, within limits. You know your own turf better, you have a visceral feel for how far you can punt it, how far you can run wide, etc. etc. That can affect the game. Mainly though, it comes down to the fact that footy is a game between two teams, and your tactics are...

Was looking for the white text...

Look back to the pre-VAR days... Perceived wisdom was that ‘pool were going to be “found out”. Instead Klopp has us playing an even higher press, the game is often in the opponents half, and VAR is mainly judging things on that side of the pitch. Couple that with *fast* defenders and you have a...

I'd go with the Benny Hill theme tune... Bonus points if you can sync up the backwards/forwards movements as they pan through the clips

Yes. It was. Been supporting 'pool for 45 years now, and it's been utterly miserable (punctuated sometimes with "wow!") the last 30 years. It doesn't get any better. It doesn't stop hurting. Every time you think you've hit rock bottom, it just somehow gets worse the next time. Even when you...

I think this is one of those things where "he's a cnut but he's our cnut" comes into play. It's not as though SAF was above doing the same sort of thing - he had a particular penchant for winding up Benitez...

There's a lot of worry on here about Liverpool's rebuilding "problem", which smacks of trying to divert attention from the current (real) problem of having a Liverpool side that are easing themselves into their first PL trophy for 30 years... The news doesn't get better for those who don't like...

Don't know if a tryout counts, but Ray Parlour has just come out with this about Kolo Toure... “I remember the ball was rolled into Thierry Henry and Kolo Toure, from nowhere, smashed into him from behind,” said Parlour. “It was a terrible tackle, a red card in a normal game, and our best...
