I’D forgotten all about anger. The aftermath of the Villa game had nothing to do with being angry. In my house at least it was met with confusion. How did we manage to fail so spectacularly? We’d still have been battered even if we discounted their spawny deflected...
I’VE just finished reading George Orwell’s Keep the Aspidistra Flying. Set in the 1930s, it concerns a poet called Gordon Comstock who declares war on the ‘money god’ which dominates the world. He refuses a well-paid job writing ludicrous advertising copy and instead...
HOW’S your therapy going? It’s Monday night as I write this so you’re ahead of me. I’m still somewhere between fury, nonchalant acceptance and utter confusion. My state changes every couple of minutes. That might be reflected here. 7-2 though. 7-2! And not to a fully...

THERE’S a line in the film Shadowlands which has always stuck with me. The film concerns the friendship between the writer C.S Lewis and the American poet Joy Davidman Grisham. While Lewis (played by Anthony Hopkins) is the model of repressed and proper Oxford...
LAST week, The Anfield Wrap opened nominations for our ‘Embodiment of Liverpool FC’ award. This accolade goes to the player or staff member who represents the ideals of the club and performs them at every available opportunity. In short, it’s someone who ‘gets us’ and...
