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...
THERE are going to be numerous season reviews following the mighty Reds missing out on the Charity Shield qualifier yesterday but they’ll mostly focus on the individual games, goals and tactics. I’m going to try something a little different as, for me,...
AS The Kop poured into the streets with leaden shoulders and a collective stooped gait, a lone voice roared above the hubbub. ‘Libpool, Libpool – top of the league. Libpool – top of the league.’ It was an act of defiance. It spoke of a heart...
I’M not sure when this started but as the weeks have rolled on I’m relying less on tricky language, pleasing similes and passionate ravings. No. I’ve dropped from the polysyllabic to the monosyllabic to mere grunting in different keys. Iv-a-pool....
I’VE gone. I’m a broken man. I wasn’t nervous before West Ham. I honestly wasn’t. In my head I’ve allocated different percentages of nerves to different games and I had West Ham at 10% panic. No (or little) sweat. Yes, there’s the Carroll...

LET’S start with the facts. 1988: Arguably our greatest side – 87 goals in 40 games. 1979: For me, the perfect Liverpool team – 85 goals in 42 games 1977: Our greatest season – 62 goals in 42 games Ladies and gentlemen, Liverpool currently sit...
SOMETHING’S happening here. For all of us who are used to false dawns, missing pieces of the jigsaw and good runs ending with terrible results and performances this is all becoming a bit worrying. We can’t win at Southampton. 0-3. Well alright, the wheels will...
TO be honest, I still haven’t got over Stoke away. Stoke was the season. It was 0-0s and defeats only prior to the current insanity. Stoke is Jon Walters, long throw-ins, getting smacked all over the park, always cold and that nervous walk back to the car across...
