Paul Cope analyses the impact that the highs and lows of 2020 have had on Liverpool and how it laid the foundation for the ‘failures’ of this season so far… I DON’T usually write about football anymore unless I feel compelled. I woke in the...
AS my Nan might have said, thank Christ for that. It’s funny building up to these things these days. It’s strange being a part of other people’s stories. It’s fascinating meeting you in person and hearing how this impacts your life when we’re all just normal fans...
TRANSFORMATION: A marked change in form, nature, or appearance. It’s incredible to think I sat here around 12 months ago wondering how to write an article befitting a Champions League final. A once in a lifetime experience I had already experienced twice before. Yet...
IT’S easy to just think of ourselves, isn’t it? To think about how many years we’ve been doing this, how many times we’ve had these months or these trips. Even knowing we’ve done it so many times before I’m all over the place with it. There’s talk if Liverpool lose...
