Virg has gone rogue

The Dutchman has had enough. Something has snapped inside his brain and it’s been laid bare for the world to see. Because, ladies and gents, van Dijk was snapped wearing his all red socks yesterday!

That’s right – he said no thanks to the white styled one, threw them in the bin and grabbed the old trust reds out the drawer instead. The kit team must be dismayed!

Will he start a full rebellion among the rest of the team? Stand by for more!

Oh you just love to see it don’t you, as Bobby made something so hard look so so easy. With the outside of his boot the Brazilian flicked the ball up and around the Arsenal defence and hit a sweet-as-a-nut first time volley.

It deserved a goal, it really did. But unfortunately the Gods aren’t that kind.

Reverse curse?

The curse has been reversed, it’s a reverse curse! And that should mean good luck now forever and ever – because Liverpool have a celeb fan that isn’t making life tricky for them.
