THERE’S a Mancunian contingent with us today in the boozer. Good lads. Head the ground before us. They are eager about the post match. Trying to impress upon them this one thing — you’ll have a better night if The Reds win. If The Reds win it will be...
NEIL ATKINSON, John Gibbons, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia get into the reaction to Kanye’s booking at Glastonbury, Kendrick Lamar’s new album and they ease their way through the first half of the show. It feels like an album week. Ten terrific songs...
HALF time. Half time and my Lord, my hand to God, Liverpool look a mile away. As though the game has come as an enormous surprise to the lot of them. A day out at the Gower and Colin Pascoe says: “Forget this area of outstanding natural beauty lads, we kick off...
I TALK to Mick Coyle on his CityTalk show on a Tuesday morning. It’s one of the best things I get to do on a weekly basis. Last Tuesday we spoke about Matthew Crist’s piece on this very website, his ‘manifesto for the modern game’. I spoke...

GREAT games. To be involved in great games is a marvellous thing. Only good teams tend to get themselves in great games. Liverpool have been involved in two great games against Chelsea and one against Spurs recently. This, the fourth, is arguably the greatest and...
