A Year In 161 Posts: The Best Of He Tore A Hamstring

Friday, December 17th, 2010

I cannot believe that Sunday will mark a year since the launch of this site. In that time, I have most probably veered between the obsessed and the disinterested with alarming alacrity!! When I initially setup the site, there was no doubt that I saw it as a means of healing, ...

Everything Changes …

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

Change is everywhere, except perhaps in our pockets!! Around the ivory towers of this website, it has been no different, so I thought it was time for a quick update for my loyal following … in other words, I needed to remind myself! The biggest change around here will see two ...

Heartfelt Thanks

Monday, October 4th, 2010

I have often been described as a twit!! I have rarely been described as golden … brown or sunburnt maybe!! However, I recently found myself nominated as a Golden Twit by the lovely Jennifer Taylor. The awards are described, on the official website as “the award scheme that aims to celebrate ...

An Evening At The Local? Hello To The Twitter Arms

Monday, September 20th, 2010

“What’s this Twitter thing all about?” is a question I’m often asked by the mystified. Trying to explain in terms of ‘follows’, ‘tweets’ and ‘#hashtags’ often produces a glazed look and a visible thought bubble appears ... I then tend to explain using the analogy of a social forum we all ...

3 Red Balls, 2 Yanks and a Bank

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I really enjoyed watching the recent television premiere of “The Damned United”. Maybe it was a documentary shrouded as entertainment, but I am sure that may of you will have enjoyed it also. Essentially, the plot revolves and thickens around the fact that Brian Clough felt that he was snubbed and ignored ...

Calm Water

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I must admit to being a little bored with all the speculation surrounding Liverpool at the moment. Every day there are new stories about who will go, and who will be their replacements. The truth is, no one knows what Roy Hodgson’s budget is. Amounts like £40 million have been ...

A Question or Two for Martin Broughton

Monday, June 7th, 2010

So this is the new Liverpool Way where the fans get to know what the club's chairman thinks about the future of a player through comments he made at a rival club's end of season do. In reality, there isn't really anything particularly revealing in Martin Broughton's reported comments that he ...

Love, Joy & Sorrow

Monday, May 10th, 2010

So where do you begin to contemplate a six-month period that has both changed and shattered lives? In that time, I’ve lost one of my closest friends in Dani, and seen some of my best mates, Rohan in particular, utterly broken in their attempts to come to terms with it. I ...

Spreading the Word: Liverpool’s Best Eleven on a Shirt

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

The recent launch of Liverpool’s home kit for next season has caused the usual discussions between those who like it and those who don’t. Not that it really matters, at least not to me. The thing is that I’ve never really seen where the attraction in going around advertising a ...

The Fat Lady … Not Quite Singing

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

It’s almost last orders at the Last Chance Revue Bar. Very shortly the final act of the evening will walk on stage, and once the Fat Lady has sung, we can all go home. Whether we skip with joy, or whether we head for the doors full of sorrow, is ...
