Cheers!

Hey!

I'm back after a rather long layoff.

Liverpool are in all sorts of trouble and I've set out to investigate why?

Yeah dude, i didn't write about Ronaldo's latest goals because I get the feeling he'll keep doing this every week and "Ronaldo scores two more beauties" just ain't news anymore.
