PRESSURE. Did you feel it? I know I did. I was a quiet mess before the game and first half. I was a state, quietly bubbling, quietly seeing the worst at every opportunity. How’s your bottle? Ask me on 23, there. Gone, mate. Gone. The worst was only ever this:...
WE’LL get to the young lad. Liverpool picked a team who looked like they had never played together before. Wolverhampton Wanderers picked a team who knew exactly what their jobs were. God, could you tell. In the first half especially, you could tell. Barely a...
GETTING beat hurts. It is rubbish. Hold that close, Reds. Remember that pain. Four clear. Seventeen games to go. Arsenal and City completed. You’d have taken it at the moment when Virgil van Dijk slices the ball towards Jordan Pickford’s goal, by god...
IT’S the 93rd minute at Anfield and the madness has taken hold. The only disappointment is that Liverpool beat Arsenal 5-1, instead of putting six past Unai Emery’s dishevelled, ageing cockneys. That is the madness at Anfield just now. We score five...
THE Title Truism… “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” It is a marathon and a sprint. It is an 800m race, two laps of the track where you run as fast as you can. It’s long distance, it’s dead fast. It’s tactical, it’s...

I WHISPER things, the city sings them back to you. Evening gorgeous. Evening handsome. I thought of you throughout. What a win. What progression. Four things: That is greatest save I have seen in me whole life. The game was mad. Mo Salah wants to be the best player in...
VITALITY and purpose. Nothing other than the title is our business. Our business is nothing other than the title. There is a purity to that. Tonight told you that story and told you how much it matters to this club, this manager and his players, and what everyone is...
THIS is the greatest day of our lives. There will be analysis and there will be chat, and there will be talk. But this is the greatest day of our lives. There is a piece. It is the only piece I have written in advance. I wrote it three years ago. The piece is 800...
