THERE was to be no taming of the shrew and now it’s caused a right old tempest. Thank you and good night. Liverpool may have surrendered a two-goal lead last Sunday, but that’s now a mere footnote to the barney it’s caused since. Jürgen had his week off in Rhyl all...
THERE are certain sights which stir the soul. The view of Manhattan from Liberty Island, say, or a thin crescent moon hanging over the horizon. Maybe even a basketful of kittens if that’s your thing. Something that makes you stop and stare for a few seconds. Something...
“WE have to think about what he [Mourinho] did against us with Man United, but they are different games, a different opponent. “We have to analyse, and our analysis usually ends quite a way from the truth because we don’t know 100 per cent. “It’s the same for us. We...
ANYONE who was at Leicester on Boxing Day will tell you that there was great joy in bloodying the noses of Jamie Vardy and his mates. On top of that though, there was also the opportunity to inform their merry band of (literally) Middle Englanders that we are...
IF the Leicester City game was a masterpiece, Wolves was a hastily drawn map to the Post Office scratched on the back of a ciggy packet. While one game had wit and verve, the other was a war of attrition as both sides faced an in-form Anthony Taylor. Despite the...

ONE of the complaints levelled against Liverpool of late is that they haven’t had the injuries of the other title contenders. Like many blanket accusations, this isn’t entirely true. You can look at Joel Matip, Mo Salah (still not 100 per cent), Naby Keita and, of...
SOME people really don’t like us, do they? I don’t mean just fans, but media outlets, pundits, the rent-a-quote Mersons and phone ins. You expect the odd bit of abuse to head our way – it comes with the territory – but it’s more marked and darker since we...
DECEMBER is the cruellest month. Not everyone likes Christmas. Some love it, but for many it’s a painful time to negotiate. Maybe it’s like the final frames of It’s A Wonderful Life for you. I hope so, but I prefer to compare it to the main section of the film where...
