I’VE been intrigued by the reaction of many to the signing of Sadio Mane. It’s made me ask: “What do Liverpool supporters actually want in a signing?” And: “Do some need to readjust their expectations?” The response from many Reds since the...
I HATE international football. Or, more specifically, I hate England in international football. I’ve found it really interesting to read the various Anfield Wrap pieces about Roy Hodgson’s men in the Euros. I liked, though completely disagreed with, Rob Gutmann’s...
I’LL be honest with you all now, I’m not the biggest watcher of football outside of Liverpool games. I’ll watch the big matches, of course, and I’ll stick Match Of The Day on if I’m not doing anything more exciting on a Saturday night. But past that I struggle...
IT’S silly season. That’s what everyone calls the period in between the end of the last campaign and — at the very least — the release of the fixtures for the next one. This summer we’ve also got the Euros to distract us, so maybe that will help some...
ON the CityTalk show on Thursday I said something that has caused people to tweet me such things as, “Can’t believe you said that line. Infuriating”. It’s brought Everton supporters out of their shell, with one tagging their mate in a tweet and saying, “Get on to...

WHEN I think about Liverpool Football Club at the moment I can’t make my mind up whether my overwhelming feeling is one of sadness or disillusionment. On the pitch things aren’t going great, that goes without saying. But it’s the off-field issues that are causing me...
SIMON Mignolet isn’t a terrible keeper. I know that goes against the narrative a bit, but there you go. He really isn’t terrible. The problem is that he also isn’t all that great and that’s what’s causing us such never-ending problems at the back. The furore...
I DON’T go to Anfield every week. I’d like to, and I put the feelers out for a season ticket at the start of the season, but to no avail. So instead I go whenever I can, getting tickets as and when. When I do go, I tend to end up in the Centenary Stand or the...
