THERE is a smashing story that is told about Kolo Toure. No, it’s not the one you’re thinking of (though that is a cracker in its own right). The one I am talking about centres around Toure’s trial with Arsenal and comes from Ray Parlour, via John Cross’ book Arsene...
THE rumours began to circulate on Sunday morning. I watched, listened and read as the word spread further and further but I could not allow myself to believe it until the team-sheet was published on Twitter around 1pm Daniel Sturridge, Phil Coutinho and Roberto...
BEFORE we begin, and in the interest of full disclosure, fair warning that this piece will attempt to be positive. There will be complimentary things said about Liverpool players, some who played on Sunday and some who did not, some who you may think are crap and some...
BLOODY football, eh? Makes complete mugs of us most of the time. Not to be complaining after the result at Stoke, but this was supposed to be about the lack of excitement generated by Liverpool over the course of the season so far. Then, at the Britannia, that...

In the final instalment of our TAW Unwrapped examination of Liverpool’s attacking options and what we’ve seen from Klopp so far, Phil Greene looks at the team’s nerves – and how we steady them. 101. The number of league goals scored by...

ON Sunday morning, as I readied myself to be put through the wringer of the Merseyside Derby, I allowed my mind to drift to an idea for an article I had been turning over for a few weeks. Next week will mark five years since New England Sports Ventures, now Fenway...
I REALLY do not want to be writing this piece. Let me say that first, to get it out of the way. If I had my way — if we all had our way — Liverpool would be cruising at the top of the league and we would all be huddled together talking about the majesty of...
