THERE is an episode of Frasier replaying in my head. It’s the final episode of season one, 24 episodes in (a quite ridiculous achievement really considering they maintained that pace over 11 series). Mispronounced, cliched English accents and Kelsey Grammer’s...
THIS week on The Anfield Wrap, we’ve been recording the summer transfer game. Neil presents us with a list of names and prices for ins and outs, and we get to pretend to be Jürgen Klopp for a fleeting hour. They’re good fun and always give an insight into where people...
MY city, my people, my heart. I was OK, I’d held it together last night until a certain point. It wasn’t the lift, Kenny or seeing them on The Kop. It was when Jamie Webster’s latest single, This Place, played out in a special video from Sky. It made me stop, it made...
THE guard of honour, the smiles of relaxation before any game and the golden C on top spot regardless of what happens over the 90 minutes. It should feel joyous – a gloat fest to make even the most unbearable of unbearables, well, unbearable. And yet here we...
EIGHT key passes from two substitutes, eight from the rest on the pitch over 90 minutes. Brighton versus Liverpool came alive in the first and last 20 minutes of the encounter in a Liverpool sense. While Graeme Souness sat barking in the television studio making...
US. Our people, our supporters and our lives. It is a reference point Jürgen Klopp regularly makes, an address used more than most this week in light of his Liverpool winning the Premier League. The enormity in writing cannot be transmitted, nor can the reality...
TWO games in the space of four days told two completely different stories. If you missed it, if you yearned for that feeling of watching this team in all its magnificence, then you may have felt slightly discombobulated seeing re-emerging shouts of “bottle” and...
I’VE spent most of the week redecorating. To the point where the Premier League return crept up on me inexplicably, despite the fact I’ve remained working within the confines of football’s dystopian world throughout and had three months to prepare...
JÜRGEN Klopp has changed tact. The language, oral and body, has strategically shifted. He is grateful, buoyant and optimistic to camera and microphone. Like an acclaimed star of the big screen he’s constantly aware, dissecting through the subconscious of the watching...
REMEMBER days of planning trips abroad? Of gambling £90 on flights the day after Liverpool beat Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena last year because you just never know? Good times, weren’t they? When things such as mere travel abroad now seem difficult to the...
The Anfield Wrap’s free podcast after Liverpool once again salvaged victory in the dying seconds of a game, finally breaking Burnley’s stubborn resistance from the penalty spot.
