This team is shaping up to have the worst pre-Finals prep since the 1978 team.
They lost 1-0 to England at Hampden, then drew 5-5 with Middlesborough (before your time, Daniel?), drew 2-2 with a Highland League XI and lost 6-0 in the John Greig testimonial game.
Yes, Liverpool's a great city to visit, but the football needs to be a whole lot better. Liverpool is a not only the home of The Beatles but also a football place ...
Thanks for the note, Derek. Funnily enough we've a piece in print issue 39 about some of the more bizarre friendlies. I remember seeing a programme for the Boro one, wish I'd bought it.
Yes, I decided not to concentrate too much on the negative as there are probably better qualified people to undertake such analysis! But a feelgood result is desperately needed.
Brilliant writing with laugh out loud moments, stuff like this harassed me in to becoming a Nutmeg subscriber. Superb!
Thank you so much, on both counts!
