Great comment Mick. Johnson as you rightly say, exposes the defence thanks to his bombing runs....

Very well written piece. Not sure I agree ... The fans on the forums at ThisIsAnfield voted Alberto Aquilani man-of-the-match for this game (happy to say...

Hey,

Usain Bolt has left the world speechless again, but how does his Berlin performance compare to that of Jesse Owens 73 years earlier? Have a look, comment, and rate if you have the time!

Hi Mick,

Hope all is well with you buddy,

As you should know by now, I am a massive fan of your opinion and your work, I think you are going to be one of the best Liverpool writers around, which is why I want to recruit you to my website before you become massive.

Your not expected to churn out a ton of work, just contribute whenever you can, you can just blog your opinion or provide proper article based journalism.

I honestly consider you and David Gore to be the two very best writers here on the Liverpool commuinity on b/r and to have you contribute to my site would be a fantastic coup.

I sincerly hope you consider this offer, even if you only give us an article a fortnight, that would still be a valuable positive for the site.

As you can see its still in its very early stages, but I believe a few of us can make something of the website, Im aiming to promote it as a website centered around a handful of elite liverpool journalists and hopefully thats where we can differ from the rest slightly.

Let me know what you think buddy, and I complety understand if you dont have the time, or feel its worth you contributing to the site.

I agree. Money has corrupted and is corrupting the game to the point where it's almost a business first, and a game second.

I still believe in the purity of the game though. The emotions and stories that football can conjure is something that money can never erase. It will continue to reward the big clubs and corrupt money-seeking players, but like I said, for me, it's what happens on the pitch that really matters.

That's why I've long since abandoned following the majority of football stories away from the pitch i.e transfer rumours etc. I only pay attention when something's confirmed. I'm a purist, really. I feel like I know and understand what happens on the pitch. The politics outside of it—I don't even want to understand it. You know what I mean?
