THERE have already been a lot of ‘we should have been there’ moments. The first game back, the Merseyside Derby. Goodison might be my favourite game of the year. No better place to turn up and crow about being the best in the land. Their bitterness really...
I’M on the ratings this week as Ben Johnson is on his anniversary stag doo. Let’s dissect that for a minute. He enjoyed his stag doo so much he does it every year. It’s a magnificent blag, that. Best blag since Hodgson convinced the world he was a good manager. What a...
WE did commentary recently on the Salzburg game. In the buildup, we had about a dozen conversations with the app company on whether the commentary would definitely sync up with the football on the screen. Poor Andy was holed up in a bunker for 24 hours before making...
LIVERPOOL went to Sheffield and won today. That, of course, is only part of the story. If you wish you can call Liverpool lucky. Fortunate. Ripe for an upset. I prefer to describe us as top of the league. That means you can describe individual performances as you...

LIVERPOOL knew they needed a new goalkeeper for a long time. Long before Simon Mignolet had been dropped to the bench, not for the first but certainly last time in his Liverpool career. Long before Karius threw the ball at Karim Benzema’s feet, or let a...
I REMEMBER not being particularly excited when we signed Sadio Mane. I knew we needed pace, and Mane certainly seemed to have that. But was he the best we could get? Was he “top-four” level? Was he consistent enough week by week? I will say a number of things in my...
THE day after the night before it is still hard to comprehend what we saw last night. That Liverpool came back from a three-goal deficit from the Nou Camp to knock out the mighty Barcelona. That a cobbled together side and a few walking wounded destroyed one of the...
