THE South Coast Everton 0 Liverpool 2. The Reds went into this afternoon’s game with the knowledge that a win would well and truly ensure second place is all of our business, and they delivered against a side who love a “boo” so much at the mere sight of...
“If you can’t make decisions in life, you’re a bloody menace. You’d be better becoming an MP.” ON a day when the great Bill Shankly has been the subject of much discussion amongst the Liverpool faithful, this particular quote felt quite apt in the...
SATURDAY night comes creeping. Saturday night comes weeping and sore. Something hits me more than anything else as I ambled out of Anfield tonight: Liverpool have only progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup four times since winning it in 2006. Tonight is my...
