In the wake of Liverpool’s draw-that-felt-like-a-loss with Bournemouth last night I wondered what I could write about today. I considered talking about how the two Merseyside derbies at Anfield appear to have bookended Divock Origi’s year, with the injury he suffered...

THERE’S an interesting vogue among a section of Liverpool supporters at the moment. They’ve decided that Fenway Sports Group are penny pinching stingebags who won’t spend any money this summer, in spite of reports from the likes of Paul Joyce that they are happy to do...

I’M 34-years-old. I’ve been a Liverpool supporter since the day I was born, even if I didn’t exactly know it back then. As I’ve said on these pages in the past, my dad’s a Liverpool supporter, as was his dad and as was his dad. It wasn’t a matter of choice for...

IN my column last week I asked whether we’re maybe a little bit too critical of our own players. My point was actually about the fact that we don’t give opposition players or teams enough credit for what they do to thwart us, but even so there’s an irony in the fact...

I CAN only vaguely remember the first Liverpool game I went to. My dad took me when I was probably a bit too young to appreciate what was going on. I know he’d bought a Mars bar to keep me entertained and I spent the majority of the first half asking when I could have...

ACCORDING to statistics, about 20 per cent of the 65 million people that live in the UK have a Twitter account. Less than that number actually use it. Still, it is arguably the most important social media platform out there today, shaping the narrative of news stories...

I LOVE Liverpool Football Club. I love watching them play matches, I love talking about them and I love writing about them. Since The Anfield Wrap’s first ever podcast I don’t think I’ve missed one, so I obviously love listening to other people talk about the club,...

IF you gave me a choice, I’d rather that Liverpool had made it through to the final of the League Cup at Southampton’s expense. If I was allowed to change scorelines, then we’d be in the hat for the fifth Round of the FA Cup, having overcome Wolves last week. In a...
