I was going to make this week’s questions a little less challenging than last weeks, but I just couldn’t do it. So, instead, I reduced them in number. This week there are only six of them and I consider two of them to be the kind that you could answer without doing any research. The [...]

I haven’t got the faintest clue what to expect from this Liverpool squad anymore. After Sunday’s 2-0 shock victory over Chelsea, some have been throwing around the words “Liverpool revival,” and while I would like to think that would somehow include Jamie Carragher spouting hellfire and brimstone in a cheap white suit under a tent, [...]
