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...
ALL goalies are crazy. That’s what we’ve always been told; reading the books by Rob Childs as a kid, growing up with curtain-sporting keepers wearing tops that looked like that mad rug in your nan’s. Perhaps that’s why a large number of football fans are prepared to...
CAN you say the past few weeks have been a rollercoaster? I mean, things started off slow with the Merseyside Derby and I was genuinely worried for at least a moment that we may just watch The Reds slowly stumble over the line towards a first title in 30 years, all...

FIRST things first: Happy Birthday, Mo Salah. I can imagine all the lads led by his bezzie Degsy Lovren and the manager gathered round at a social distance singing a song for our Egyptian King today. I can imagine his beaming smile and the shy hands-in-the-sleeves...
‘THESE are unprecedented times.’ Perhaps the most overused phrase during this global pandemic, but it definitely holds merit when it comes to the position Liverpool Football Club are in. At least in my lifetime. The Liverpool teams I’ve known have mostly been nearly...
MEMORIES are such a strange concept. I saw a meme recently which pointed out that sometimes your brain can remember that it’s forgotten something, but can’t actually remember what that thing was. It makes you think, doesn’t it? There are millions of moments throughout...
IT was like Christmas Day morning… Well, Christmas Day morning if it had been postponed for two months. And it wasn’t the real Father Crimbo, just some random old fella with a beer belly and some grey stubble. And instead of the latest games console with all the best...
SO the time has come. Well, sort of at least. Football is set to make its grand return this weekend as the Bundesliga gets back underway, just this time without a single fan in attendance, as we all watch on from our respective ‘isolation stations’ with baited breath....
An Unwrapped show with a focus on LFC Women – Having had a summer of upheaval with key departures hobbling progression, a new manager at the helm, the tragic loss of Matt Beard and with the Reds currently bottom of the WSL, we have a look at how the season has unfolded and ask whether Gareth Taylor’s team can avoid relegation and rebuild for 26/27.
Josh Sexton is joined by Phillipa Smallwood, Emma Sanders and Lauren Black.
