TWO wins on the bounce. Ah yes, I remember this. Wins by two clear goals. Must be Christmas. Leicester City was great. A nice pub before the game, a load of mates going up, something called a ‘Morrissey burger’ beforehand and, in my case, a new ground. Hi, my name is...
OURS is a club of extremes. We’re either in or out, up or down, black or white. The middle path is the one least travelled. We sway from the darkest cynicism to checking out next May’s Berlin hotel availability an hour after we’ve just been gubbed by Real Madrid. We...
I MIGHT as well tell you now – this isn’t going to be popular. Four years ago today, Fenway Sports Group/New England Sports Ventures took over Liverpool Football Club and delivered us from evil. For many it was like the last few minutes of Return of the Jedi....

FERNANDO Torres is about to pack his bags and head off to Italy. He’ll leave a rich man, he’ll leave with almost every honour in the game and, if he has any humanity, he’ll leave with a sense of waste. He’ll be replaced at Chelsea by a man who failed a medical at...
LIVERPOOL manager Bob Paisley paid a British record £440,000 to bring Kenny Dalglish south from Celtic. As a player at Anfield, Kenny won six league titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, three European Cups and one Super Cup. It’s widely recognised as the best...
I MIGHT be guilty of over-doing the Ray Kennedy stuff. There will be mates of mine who are cackling at that sentence. Might be? I’ll come clean. I’m more than guilty. I never shut up about him. Growing up, Ray was my favourite player. Kenny came close and...
IT WASN’T always this way, but I enjoy the end of a season these days. Maybe it’s age or the effect of non-football life washing over me, but I’m glad of the rest. People often draw the analogy of your club being akin to a high-maintenance girlfriend...
DOES anyone remember Clubcall? I don’t know if it’s still going but I used to ring it when I was at work. It was a phone service which gave you club rumours and interviews ‘direct from Anfield’. I can still remember the opening bars and a...
IF THINGS are getting easier, maybe you’re headed downhill. – Ghanaian proverb I like this proverb. I like its suggestion that struggling is merely a step on the road to progress and that the easier path isn’t always the right one. Ghana has had its fair share...
