It’s a season like no other, but Josh Sexton asks if football’s decision makers have done enough to consider that or if players are being looked after enough? “A 45-MINUTE heart attack.” That was how one critic (gestures towards self) described the...
“This pandemic has taken so much of what we love about football away. But we still have the stories,” writes Josh Sexton… “IN a lockdown, it’s really important for the people that they can do things they like to do. “Watching football is...
VAR has become football’s main talking point with some bizarre decisions this season especially – but is the biggest issue the rules or the referees using it? IT’S funny how quickly something can become a cliche. The cliche that has been most used...
AT 2.25pm on Saturday, a wave of nausea hit me. At first it was a matter of personal pride. Since the introduction of VAR, I’ve subconsciously altered the way I celebrate goals. Anybody who sits near me in the ground would probably be able to tell you the same, so...

SO it’s happening then. I’ve spent most of the morning like Michael Scott in The Office US, pacing round my house telling myself to “stay fucking calm”. After spending what has felt like the best part of eight years, though it has actually been the shortest...
WELL. That was a pretty short summer, wasn’t it? Can you even call it a summer? I mean, the weather didn’t really put much effort in while there was no football for us to consume. And as far as some sections of Liverpool’s support are concerned, that lack of effort...
WE are Liverpool. This means more. A glorified marketing slogan used by opposition fans as a stick to beat us with? Maybe. It would be a bit pretentious of us to pretend that what we’ve got going on is more important than at other clubs, after all. You only have to...
