ON Saturday August 29, Liverpool FC begin again. A new start in the year of the restart. The parading of the Champions starts here. The Champions grand tour commences at Wembley stadium this weekend. Although I’d really rather have a lot less miles on my clock, one...
TIME to turn the lights out. Exit, The Reds, stage left. What a performance. The boards drenched in floral tributes. The bows could go on all night. No dry eyes on Wednesday evening after that trophy lift. What a season. What a team. So, the point of Newcastle,...
HERE’S to Liverpool, the Champions of England. Here’s to the team that never knows when it’s beaten, that could never accept that it was futile to try and find a way to muscle past an infinitely greater resourced adversary. Here’s to the lads who can never be...
THERE’S a part of me that would quite like this season to move out of the way now so that we can focus fully on the next one. It may seem crazy to come across as ungrateful in the face of the greatest Liverpool season in modern memory, but what little remains of...
THERE’S been more than a few new abnormals that we’ve found ourselves having to become accustomed too in these dystopian days. One is that our favourite pastime now passes time without our presence. I’m beginning to forget exactly what it feels like to be in a...

I WANT to live to be 103, like Vera Lynn. I’m going to live my life like that’s a done deal. I’ve survived a 30-year Liverpool title drought and I reckon I’ve got it in me to survive two more lengthy famines. I used to fret that I may never see The Reds at the top of...
LIVERPOOL supporters have been truly spoiled this season. We’ve gorged on a diet of wins and goals and have been league champions in all but name for months. Wrapping up league titles early is not a new phenomenon. Just two seasons ago, Pep Guardiola’s 100-point Man...
IT sounds beyond a cliche to categorise supporting Liverpool Football Club as a rollercoaster ride. We seem to all but constantly be at the mercies of the extremities of fate. Our relationship with the team is not a normal one. The average ‘sports fan’ does not go...
AT this stage of the European Cup, a year ago, Liverpool eliminated Bayern Munich in exhilarating style. It was the performance that set Liverpool on course for Champions League glory, at a moment in which a hitherto majestic league campaign had begun to slightly...
Getting stuck into big talking points within the world of football finance discussing Liverpool’s spending, the Club World Cup’s value to clubs, and what the Asia tour means for the Reds’ finances.
