MYSELF and John Gibbons went to the EFL Trophy game between Liverpool U21s and Wigan Athletic’s first team at the DW Stadium on Tuesday evening. It was my first experience of football inside a stadium since The Reds’ Champions League loss to Atletico Madrid just...
AND just like that, normality is restored. Liverpool, while still picking up points since last season was prematurely halted, have been a club with a lot of questions being asked of them. Have they peaked now that they’ve reached the summit? Do they need to add...
SO it’s happening then. I’ve spent most of the morning like Michael Scott in The Office US, pacing round my house telling myself to “stay fucking calm”. After spending what has felt like the best part of eight years, though it has actually been the shortest...
WELL. That was a pretty short summer, wasn’t it? Can you even call it a summer? I mean, the weather didn’t really put much effort in while there was no football for us to consume. And as far as some sections of Liverpool’s support are concerned, that lack of effort...

FIRST things first: Happy Birthday, Mo Salah. I can imagine all the lads led by his bezzie Degsy Lovren and the manager gathered round at a social distance singing a song for our Egyptian King today. I can imagine his beaming smile and the shy hands-in-the-sleeves...
