I GUESS that this must be the place. We’ve arrived. Repeatedly it felt like we’d never get here – 2002, 2009, 2014, 2019. Time and time and time again we nearly got here, we were at the door. We were at the door again and everything stopped. The game ceased to...
I WISH I could be with you. I wish they’d got a fifth. Other than that, other than those two things, that was about as close as it gets to perfect. Two points to go. Two points for heaven’s sake. Two points for heaven. And next up, our direct rivals....
IT could prove a significant moment. Ben Mee, straight down the barrel of the camera making clear that he and his side were both embarrassed and ashamed by the banner that flew over their heads. Mee is absolutely bristling with anger as he speaks, infuriated as much...
I TELL you what. That was quite the journey. I went from thinking it was just a victory that we were getting to watch The Reds again when so many were so desperate for it not to be happening, to Liverpool making me tear my hair out, to being happy with a point, to...
SO it was a big Saturday afternoon from The Reds. But not in the way we’d like. Morning all – let’s get stuck in. We’re on a journey here. This is long. Make a cup of tea. But first for full disclosure I need to make something clear – The...
THERE is something horrendous about going out like that. Stilettos and broken bottles all over the shop. Let’s get it out of the way: The goalkeeper’s error is dreadful, it changes the game and costs Liverpool the tie. He’s not a bad person, is a...
THERE is something in James Milner’s roar on the whistle. It’ll be the last thing I picture before I go to sleep tonight. The first thing I think of in the morning. Three more. The word procession has been bandied about. This isn’t what a procession...
GETTING beat. That’s no longer novel. This season of 30-year wonder suddenly finds itself on the brink. How spoiled, how stupid, how strange. It shouldn’t be that way. In the cold light of day it won’t. The moment the league title is confirmed will...
THE European Champions. The Champions Of The World. The team who are 25 points clear. One of the problems (if there really could be said to be any, because in reality, there are none) with Liverpool being so good, is that opponents tend to up their game. This...
THERE is a variant of this piece which is just 1,000 words on everything Pedro Chirivella did after the final whistle. A thousand words on his every move, his every word. Who he hugged, when, what he was thinking and feeling. I was in the Upper Kemlyn. The final...
The Anfield Wrap following Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield in the 4th Round of the FA Cup, a game in which the Reds put out a controlled, efficient and mature performance to book their place in the quarter finals and one game from a Wembley semi-final.
Beth Lindop is joined for the show by Stuart Wright, Kev Reilly and Joel Penny.
Also in the show, John Gibbons chats to David Sturzaker about who plays Gareth Southgate in ‘Dear England’ a ‘gripping examination of nation and game’ which is being performed at the Liverpool Empire from Tuesday 3rd to Saturday 7th of March.
