Liverpool Better Go Win The Champions League Now
Manchester City and Liverpool are incapable of playing a boring match against each other.

The Most Badass Goals Are Roberto Firmino's No-Look Goals
Liverpool’s Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino may be the hardest working center forward in the game, but don’t get it twisted: he still manages to couple his indefatigable off-ball work with more than a little of that old samba flair. His elaborate goal celebrations are probably the most indicative ...
Mohamed Salah Is No Lionel Messi, But He Might Just Be The Next Best Thing
It would make sense if this fact had eluded you, but in between contentious referee decisions there was actually a hell of a game of soccer played at Anfield yesterday between Liverpool and Tottenham. Because the job of managing is so inherently conspiratorial, and fandom so often joyless and blinke...
Adam Lallana Loses His Mind, Tries To Choke Out Teen Opponent In Rehab Appearance
Adam Lallana has had a terrible year. The Liverpool midfielder missed the first four months of the season with an injury, and has since experienced setback after setback. He got to take the field with the Liverpool U-23 squad today, an appearance which came to a fitting and abrupt end, when he was s...
Victor Wanyama's Stunning Golazo Kicks Off Insane Spurs-Liverpool Ending
Tottenham’s Victor Wanyama both scored an equalizer for Spurs and demonstrated the very high quality of the Premier League nets on an absolute bullet of a strike against Liverpool in the 80th minute. And that’s just where the craziness starts....
The Liverpool-Man City Match Was A Classic From The Premier League's New Golden Age
The English Premier League has been the most famous and purely entertaining soccer league for ages now.

Liverpool And Barcelona Agree To £142 Million Transfer Fee For Philippe Coutinho
The once-dead Coutinho-to-Barcelona transfer, a hot rumor of the post-Neywatch soccer landscape, is now, suddenly, a done deal: today Barcelona and Liverpool reportedly agreed to a £142 million transfer fee that will send the midfielder to Catalonia. Per ESPN:...
The Coutinho-To-Barcelona Transfer Saga Is Back On, And Might Actually Happen This Time
This past summer was a great one for aficionados of melodramatic transfer window soap operas. The most passion-inflamed and drama-filled ones were the two Barcelona-based series, NeyWatch and One Life to Liverpool. NeyWatch, you probably remember, starred the impossibly hunky Neymar and detailed the...
Nothing Could Stop Mohamed Salah From Scoring This Goal
Freewheeling, fun Liverpool are beating up on Bournemouth* with yet another offensive explosion, and they ended a three-goal first half with a brilliant goal from Mohamed Salah, whose single-minded run through the box just overwhelmed his pair of defenders....
Sadio Mané Really Fucked Up
Sadio Mané isn’t the sole reason Liverpool failed to beat Everton in a match they completely controlled everywhere except on the scoresheet. You could and probably should blame the referee for awarding Everton an exceptionally soft penalty from which the Toffees scored their only good chance of the ...
Jürgen Klopp Throws Extended Temper Tantrum Over Late Everton Penalty
Wayne Rooney slammed home a late penalty today to bring underdog Everton even with Liverpool, in what would eventually be a 1-1 draw. No penalty has ever been given in the history of soccer without the penalized side being fucking apoplectic, but this one, well, judge for yourself:...

Roberto Firmino's No-Look Goal Is Cold As Hell
Now this is just about as cheeky as it gets:...
Jürgen Klopp Left Extremely Confused By Bizarre Beef Between Him And Sevilla Coaches
I should admit up front that the following beef between Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and his coaching counterparts on Sevilla’s bench doesn’t make total sense, but the strange, match-long affair does involve Sevilla’s manager twice playing keepaway with a Liverpool player, him getting sent off for...
The World Needs Manchester City To Free Leroy Sané
This weekend’s Manchester City-Liverpool match was all set to be the game of the week and maybe even one of the games of the season, but then Sadio Mané got sent off towards the end of the first half for nearly embedding the studs of his right boot into Ederson’s skull, and right then and there the ...
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Flees Sinking Ship For Liverpool
There had to be a point during Liverpool’s curb-stomping of Arsenal this past weekend when a few Gunners thought to themselves I’ve got to get the hell out of here. After being announced as Liverpool’s newest signing today, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain became the first to make good on that sentiment. He ...
Just What In The Goddamn Hell Are Barcelona Doing In The Transfer Market?
Death, taxes, and Barcelona doing some fuck shit in the summer 2017 transfer window. These are the three constants in life, and boy does that last one keep reminding us of its omnipresence....
