THERE’S been quite the scramble to make arrangements for White Hart Lane tomorrow. Trains booked at the last minute and plenty who wouldn’t have gone near the fixture two weeks ago suddenly calling in favours to lay claim to tickets. Those who watched the recent...
SO, he’s finally here. Jürgen Klopp was the obvious choice, but when of late have FSG opted for the obvious thing and actually accomplished it? No hard-luck stories this time about competing with big fat Manchester wage slips or shopping under the bright lights of...
DEPRESSION hovers over Anfield. Another grim evening watching a group of players under-perform. For Carlisle, now read Sion. Last night’s dismal proceedings were summed up by the need to introduce Philippe Coutinho on the hour. It smacks of desperation; the cavalry...
THIS may turn into a bit of a rant. Not a calmly-delivered list of facts; a proper rant, which might send Rafa’s calmly-delivered FACTS cart-wheeling firmly back into 2009. Let’s see how long I can stay calm. On the ITV commentary in Istanbul, as Liverpool walked out...
AMID the prevailing, inexhaustible rage surrounding Liverpool’s patchy start to the season, I’ve seen the current crop of players described as the “worst Liverpool team in 50 years”. We’re all aware of how Twitter condenses the fume, but the same disparaging comments...
TO this day, the most piercing single roar I’ve heard at a football match came when Frank Stapleton sent the Stretford End into raptures with a 52nd-minute winner against Liverpool in September 1983. It was my first visit to Old Trafford and is a memory I always...
BILL Shankly once likened the pain in the wake of an important defeat to cutting your finger: “It’s very sore to start with. After a few days it heals up. And then after a week you’ve forgotten, until the next match.” One of the great man’s less-heralded quotes, and...
MONDAY night football — the scourge of the away supporter. Not for me this week though as Liverpool took on Arsenal. One perk of my current day job is that I get a chunk of summer time off. An inflexible arrangement at best for football throughout the season, my...
IT seems the opening two matches of Liverpool’s campaign — a pair of dogged, 1-0 victories — have Reds in one of two camps. For every supporter that is lauding wins over Stoke City and Bournemouth, there is another moaning about the substance of six points...
I’M never quite ready for the start of a new season. This year especially so, with August barely a week old before the first shots were fired. Something to do with The Euros, I believe, which irks all the more given that Hodgey’s Lions are responsible for...
