Liverpool Rob (I didn’t know the Spanish had a thing for collecting stamps. It was an intriguing match where both teams struggled to create good scoring opportunities, both worked hard to find space and to close it down. Boring to a neutral, frustrating to a fan. I’m going to state the obvious here, for the […]

Multiversity is an ongoing DC comics series written by Grant Morrison. Every month sees a story in a different version of the DC universe (eg the kids of the well-known heroes who have nothing to do because their parents created a utopia where the bad guys can never win) loosely tied around a seemingly haunted […]

Tom (@Tom_McGhee): I’ve never even heard of Liverpool. Having read Brian’s “work”, I’m none the wiser (although the He-Man element piqued my interest long enough to finish reading. Well done Bob) United 33 – 26 Liverpool. So many goals. Benno (@Benglorious): I’m currently editing my post I wrote days ago because I’m not happy with […]

England camp in disarray, ahead of qualifier against Slovenia, as age old problem rears its ugly letterhead and leads to dressing room bust up… When it was announced earlier this week that both Andros Townsend and Michael Carrick would be returning from International duty to their respective employers, as a result of minor knocks picked […]

Benno (@Benglorious):   The Bobbins:  A Tale of Trying King Alexander had ruled Traffordonia for nearly thirty years.  He was much respected by his enemies and beloved by his people because during his reign the kingdom had flourished, and was the envy of the whole world.  Alexander knew that his time as king was coming […]

. Rob (our Liverpool fan contributor): My ‘Pool wish list for last season: A winning mentality. Tick. A determination to improve. Tick. To defeat Utd.  Negative. Wish list for this season: To compete for a Champions League place. To be exciting to watch. To defeat Utd.  I have watched two Utd friendlies plus the opening Premier […]

If football is supposed to be the new religion then consider my allegiance with the church wafer thin. I’m that close to excommunication. My God has offered me very little to be pleased with: scandals, usury, censorship. Worst of all, the church I belong to has disgraced itself more than most. It is embarrassing watching […]

We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends, and now resident thought sharer Iwan Lehnert, to share some of their ‘Pre and Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets below their proper good ones… Iwan (@IwanLehnert): The manager has stated that Rooney is unfit ahead of […]

We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends to share some of their ‘Pre’ and ‘Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets, below their personal views on the game… Iwan: (@Iwanlehnert) Not to detract from the importance of the shocking treatment that England’s under-21 team had […]

The day after the night before and I started clearing the inbox on my phone. The friends who were sending text messages with 4-0 and 6-0 predictions at kick off, by the end were almost threatening to “top themselves”.
