LAST week’s triumph over Spurs was a mighty relief; finally an end to a barren run in the league and for once, no tiresome post-match inquisition surrounding Liverpool’s inadequacies. Previously, results at Sunderland and Hull and at home to Swansea brought the...
IT has been a grim few weeks to be a Red. January and February are dark, unforgiving winter months at the best of times and Liverpool’s barren run has only added to the seemingly never-ending gloom. So to cheer us up, or should I say to offer some perspective, I’m...
I WOKE up at 4.30am this morning. Thoughts tend to be random in the small hours and I didn’t let nocturnal side down. After two hours with my mind racing like Shergar with no sense of direction I came to the following conclusions: The sleep hygiene summary on a Fitbit...
