IT was inevitable really, wasn’t it? How many times have Sky Sports built up to a big game by labelling it the most important human occurrence since the Renaissance, or Anthony Joshua’s last fight, only for it to peter out into a damp squib? ‘Red Monday’ was dull. It...
TRANSFER deadline day always reminds me of Camelot in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Going into it hoping that your team will be the one to make the headline-grabbing big money move that will have the fans gathered outside the training ground, tipping ice...
SAT in bored on a Sunday evening patiently waiting for the football season to start, I decided to watch an old episode of The Simpsons. It was the one where Homer is forced to go to college to get a degree in nuclear physics and includes Mr Burns offering a...

IT IS a question that many were asking themselves as recently as the New Year. Admittedly, it’s rather a misleading headline as Bobby Firmino was always for me, as this previous TAW article will confirm. FIRMINO: NOW THAT’S MORE LIKE IT, LIVERPOOL The loudest...
IT wasn’t particularly surprising. Boring is what Liverpool do in European aways. Always have done, and in a two-legged affair it usually works. It’s also evident what they do these days following massive wins. They bring you to a point where you say: “These...
