IN and of itself, it is run of the mill. West Ham United casually dispatched. Liverpool not to be touched. Onwards to Graceland. In reality, it is anything but. Liverpool are 70 points from 72, 19 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. They...
WE were spent. I was spent. They were spent. And then it goes off when Firmino, a million miles away, drops his shoulder and fires it home. Roberto Firmino who hasn’t scored at Anfield this season, who doesn’t believe in small goals, who only scores when...
AND now you are going to believe us. The game is bananas. Liverpool didn’t deserve to go 1-0 up. Five minutes later they deserve to be 2-0 up. But the second goal doesn’t come. By half time they should have a third, they have the ball in the net twice but...
RECORD breaking? There is one record I want breaking – the 30 years it would be between league titles. Liverpool Football Club have never gone as long between winning the league since the establishment of the club in 1892 than the gap currently is. When they ran...

LEICESTER City came into the game second in the table. They are undoubtedly one of the three best sides in the division so far this season. They were decimated by Liverpool on their own ground. They were taken to the cleaners by The Reds. The Champions of Europe, the...
LITTLE legs. Look at him give it little legs. World champions. The best in the world. I mean, you knew it anyway. You had it in your back pocket. You took it home, you polished it up. You hoped it and prayed it as well as believing and knowing. The best in the world...
LIVERPOOL had a fight on their hands today. A fight against the conditions, a fight against a team fighting for their lives. The weather. There was ever so much of it. Hail before kick off. Loads and loads of wind. It had a massive impact on the game for both sides,...
