WE don’t get beat enough. We should never get beat at all. It’s been a while since that feeling was there in the pit of your stomach, been an age since you have felt it. To watch Liverpool get beat doesn’t feel right and when it feels unjust it feels...
LIVERPOOL versus Newcastle United has in recent years been an emotional not battling fixture, if for our own nostalgic rather than footballing reasons. A returning Rafa has caused The Kop to sing for the opposition, and our civility has been extended to a group of...
OF the early ’80s Liverpool side, Graeme Souness once said something like this… If they wanted to fight, we’d out fight them. If they wanted to play, we’d out play them. Today Burnley wanted to Burnley. Liverpool out Burnleyed them. I love this...
