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...
THERE’S a reason Nike fought so hard for Liverpool. It isn’t just because they’re world, European and soon to be domestic champions. It is because Nike loves the idea of selling fairy tales of achievement, resolve and making the impossible possible. They, therefore,...
FIRST and foremost, I didn’t have a team of choice as so many seemed to. If you heard any of The Anfield Wrap Weekender or Wildcard shows from last week you will have heard me flip flop between saying I don’t care for any other team and tentatively picking one as a...
FIRST of all, you have to own it. The Premier League by its sheer existence demands as much. The league has become a monster nobody can currently control. It has almost taken on an artificial lifeform as a being that defines a whole existence for many of us. And here...
An Unwrapped show with a focus on LFC Women – Having had a summer of upheaval with key departures hobbling progression, a new manager at the helm, the tragic loss of Matt Beard and with the Reds currently bottom of the WSL, we have a look at how the season has unfolded and ask whether Gareth Taylor’s team can avoid relegation and rebuild for 26/27.
Josh Sexton is joined by Phillipa Smallwood, Emma Sanders and Lauren Black.
