I’M managing to talk myself into believing that each and every one of Liverpool’s next opponents are the coming force in British football. That our next game will be the toughest game of our season thus far. Maybe I’m just motivating myself the way Klopp...
I’M approaching The Hammers away in a state of discombobulation. I’m all over the show, suffering with low level (but manageable) flu and a series of frustrations. We all love following The Reds but doing so involves making quite large spaces in our life for them....
“I HAVE no clue yet. I’m about to go and find out.” Jürgen Klopp there, when asked what kind of challenge he expects from Shrewsbury in his Friday press conference. It was an honest response that elicited no further enquiry from the press pack but it jolted me. I know...
THE team that refused to go away. The people that would never accept their fate. The club that never walks alone. Liverpool. Liverpool. Top of the league. It’s not done. It’s done. It’s not done. It’s done. Whatever, we are bracing ourselves. Hey, it ain’t going to be...
IT’S funny, but Manchester United coming to ours just doesn’t really feel like ‘a derby’ anymore. Maybe it’s just me, but that sense of it all being ‘personal’ is fading. The Liverpool-Man United rivalry never had that feuding-family flavour to it that...

THIS season is blowing minds. It’s revealing that Liverpool fans may have trust issues. I listened to caller after caller on the radio post Sheffield United on Thursday. People from everywhere, all Reds, all wouldn’t say definitively that Liverpool have won this...
THAT Wolves game was hard work, wasn’t it? A salutary reminder that however good this Liverpool are – and they are very, very good – that the baseline conditions need to be there for them to demonstrate their quality. Compare and contrast the team in red...
LIVERPOOL can do no more. So Wolves went and did it for us. Wolves 3 Manchester City 2. The perfect companion piece to the Leicester game. Liverpool 14 points clear with a match in hand. Liverpool, Liverpool top of the league. The 24 hours that spanned the masterclass...
HAPPY Christmas, pilgrims. Another year and The Reds top of the pile again on the 25th. I make this the fourth time in the past 10 years that this has happened – 2009, 2014, 2018, 2019. They used to say that the team that lead at Christmas always won the title...
