Is a thing to which we blacks are wise.
Her bandage hides two festering sores
That once perhaps were eyes."

Rest in Peace Biri Biri.

You sure left your mark...

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp
