AS usual, Germany is leading the way. The Bundesliga returns at the weekend, with all eyes not just on how they manage as the first major football league to resume following the (almost) worldwide halt of the sport, but to give the rest of us something to watch other...
IT is pretty funny to see how easy it is to amuse a bored football fan. “What will we do without games? I can’t bear the thought of not having footy to watch!” “Make a starting XI composed entirely of left-footed players who have won the Cup Winner’s Cup, played...
‘BEAT everyone, and once you’ve done that, beat them again’. That’s been the theme of Liverpool’s season so far. After playing the other 19 teams in the Premier League once, Liverpool had beaten 18 of them. There was just one outlier. One stubborn opposition that was...
“IF you are first, you are first. If you are second, you are nothing.” – Bill Shankly During The Anfield Wrap’s series of articles about the most significant games from the last few seasons under Jürgen Klopp, I have tried to select occasions where it felt like...

“WHO is your favourite Liverpool player of all time?” It’s that ‘all time’ bit that gets you. Immediately your mind is cast back, like your life flashing before your eyes, but just the football bits. When I was a nipper, my grandad sat me on his knee and regaled me...
“SELF-isolate,” they said. “Avoid mass gatherings and stay indoors” they said. “Great,” I said. “That’ll give me more time to write about football… Cancelled, you say?!” Yes, in these uncertain Coronavirus times, the football has been suspended. It is absolutely the...
