IT’S time. When football is handed back to us. When it becomes ours once more. When what happens in the ground tops anything else. How it should be. The close season has always been barren by definition; a period pre-internet (stick with it, kids) that once featured...
WE’VE all got our own tale to tell about life – and every moment means something different to each of us. Our own story is continually being written, and written in only a way that we really know about. We have our own context behind our eyes. As much as life offers...
THERE’S every chance that in writing this I’ll sound like exactly what I am: a 42 year old man not averse to comparing past with present. But it is what it is, so here goes… On Saturday, Tranmere Rovers – for the second consecutive season – gained promotion via a...
BY now we know what makes this Liverpool side special. It’s the spirit; the ability to bounce back, to dig deep – to find a way when all looks lost. It’s got all that by the bucketload. It’s a trait that goes against the natural instinct to think the worst; to accept...

GOING away to follow your football club is always different and always special. However, some trips are more special than others. As Liverpool fans, we’ve been spoiled down the years, even during what we would regard as barren times. So many supporters of other teams...
ONE of the best teams Pep Guardiola has seen in his life. A team that has bettered the Rafa Benítez side that clocked up 86 points and featured 24-goal Steven Gerrard, one of the best of our own. A group that has won more points than the Brendan Rodgers team that...
THE gleeful face of Kenny Dalglish in the Anfield stands at the weekend was a reminder of a time so long ago now, it seems like another place – a different world. In so many ways it was. When that same face beamed with joy 29 years ago, there was no stand at Anfield...
A QUARTER-FINAL tie at Anfield looms large. A breather from the breathless chase for the title. The last eight and, by common consensus, the best draw Liverpool could have hoped for. And yet, the story around The Reds’ European Cup foray of 2018-19 feels like a...
