SOMEBODY once asked me what my biggest gripe about Liverpool city centre was on an Anfield Wrap episode of AFQ. I could have mentioned the newly built “haunted house” eyesore that had opened on Dale Street which looked completely out of place. Or the fact that I...
“WE don’t draw up a season and say the best way to go through it is to go out of all the cup competitions early. “Now it is closer to the end of the season and it is allowed to go out of the Champions League without even trying to go through? That’s really mad.”...
I’M always surprised when a footballer answers back. I’ve only experienced it a couple of times. Whether that was an ex-Liverpool player who muttered the word “prick” to a disgruntled and annoying Paddock regular who felt the need to constantly tell him he wasn’t very...

BOTTLE. They love goading you with bottle. There are many things you learn when you find yourself setting the pace. The empathy you feel for those who become so invested in your club’s fate due to their own lack of stimulation being one. They make it all about bottle....
“I fully intended to sign a new contract after the Champions League final, but the events of the past five to six weeks have changed all that.” – Steven Gerrard, July 2005 “If, at that point in time, I was offered a contract, I most definitely would have signed...
I’VE been thinking a lot about outrage lately. I get the feeling outrage has been applied to almost all aspects of daily life in recent years, and as a result we’re in danger of the whole concept becoming neutralised. In a week where outrage has been attributed to all...
With Yan Diomande seemingly set for a switch to PSG with Liverpool failing in their pursuit of the Ivorian where will the Reds look next to strengthen their right hand side?
To go through the alternatives, their strengths and weakness and what might happen are Neil Atkinson, John Gibbons, Kev Reilly and Kieran Molyneux.
Also in the show, John Gibbons is joined by Georgina Hannaway and John McDonough to talk about Claire House Children’s Hospice, the work they do and also about John’s upcoming fundraiser for the hospice.
