MUCH wants more. That statement pretty much sums up my football-supporting life. After my first live game at Anfield I wanted to go to every Liverpool home game. After my first away I wondered whether it would be possible to do all 38 league games. Once you witness...
SO my last few columns may have come across a bit contradictory. In my game of 2015-16 piece on the Villarreal win, I talked about people who say they’d happily go back and relive games that were excruciating at times before a huge pay off, and how I’d much rather...
LET me start this week’s column by declaring my conflict of interest… I love Jordan Henderson. I love seeing his name on the teamsheet. I love it when he does something good in a game. I love it when he leads Liverpool to victory and celebrates like it’s the last...
THERE are certain games I wish I could just relive every single second of. Some people will tell you they’d happily relive every kick of nights like Istanbul or Madrid all over again, but I think those people are liars. They’re liars because those games took years off...
YOU almost feel daft for worrying about football at a time like this. Bill Shankly joked that it was more important than life and death, but Jürgen Klopp summed it up best recently by describing it as “the most important of the least important things”. It is such a...
THE footy being taken away from us has been cause for a lot of contemplation. Firstly, from a working point of view, what do we write about when there’s no games to talk about? Secondly, it makes you think about the football. Assess the impact it has had on your life,...
WHAT does the word ‘conspiracy’ mean to you? There was a time in my life where conspiracies usually involved getting lost down some kind of YouTube rabbit hole before realising hours had elapsed and the sun was not far from rising. You’ll probably all have a...
THERE are a plethora of reasons this Liverpool side deserves the utmost praise. There’s the obvious fact that they’re breaking records left, right and centre which will of course get the ‘stat men’ talking, but there’s a reason they’re able to do that. The praise can...
TRANSFERS are one of the most interesting facets of the modern game. There’s so much that goes into it that we don’t get to see, but what we do know from the outside looking in is that spending big doesn’t guarantee quality – and vice versa. Bargains are rare to...
IT felt familiar, didn’t it? A late goal to confirm a crucial three points against the sworn enemy. This time, though, it was oh so different. Before Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester United in October 2009, The Reds sat in eighth place while Alex Ferguson’s side...
