We all knew what it would probably be like. I talked about it on Friday when I did some analysis on what sort of football Hull City play; it’s direct, they go long to McBurnie, they try to put crosses in and they will play with a back five. Hull aren’t in the best of [...]
I've lived in fear of one thing since the start of the season: Having to be a recipient of that utterly tragic and awful "you're getting mauled by the Tigers" chant that the Hull City fans busted out against United and do on a regular basis when they are ahead. It's so cringey, it must [...]
What a fascinating game that was last night. Fascinating because Arsenal had control for pretty much the entire game, let their opponents in a bit more in the second half, took the foot off the gas a bit, then found themselves with a nervy few minutes after Slavia Prague scored late, giving their players and [...]
There are just three match days I absolutely hate. Today is one of them. The other two are: The NLD away - just hate the stakes, even when they are shit and we've beaten them on their own ground for the last couple of seasons The Emptihad - because, like Anfield, we just never win [...]
Happy Saturday, kids. How are we all feeling? I had a Turkish last night; they gave us an extra meal by mistake, so I'll not say I'm in the finest of forms. A couple of bottles of Bordeaux didn't quite help the situation either. Anyway, we must make do with what we've got, and what [...]
Happy Friday, boys and girls. Do you ever have those weeks where it feels like it's absolutely flown by? That's me this week. Which is a good thing that the Fleetwood game happened earlier in the week, because I've been able to mitigate the 'banter' damage from friends and family, whilst also moving on myself [...]
It's Thursday; we still have a few days until the big one at Anfield on Sunday, so the talk about that game should ramp up from today. I became a self-employed worker in September, so I don't have an office - per se - but I know a few people who said they took pelters for [...]
We gotta take our licks this morning, boys and girls, because we're out of the League Cup to a team who are down there in League Two currently fighting off a relly scrap. That's the media narrative that will be peddled today and, if we're honest, sometimes you just have to accept it. Like Chester [...]
That was as routine and solid a win as you're going to get yesterday. And I couldn't be happier. 3 p.m. kickoff, a historically stubborn opponent, we haven't scored a set piece or a first-half goal in a while...that felt like it was going to be a grind in appalling conditions yesterday. Instead, The Arsenal [...]
It's match day; it's Everton, and as I said yesterday, it's going to be another tough one in which an opponent tries to stifle and contain us. This one isn't going to end up 4-0 to The Arsenal. Everton are going to be a tough nut to crack, whilst also having a fair bit of [...]
