Marcus Rashford is doing so much to fight food poverty off the pitch, football fans often only worry about what’s happening on it – is it time for us to stop and reflect? IN the midst of the madness, there is always cause for at least one calm head....
ONE of the most tiresome quips levelled at Liverpool is that they are often lucky with injuries compared to their rivals. That is, naturally, a complete contradiction of the truth. The Reds have been without Alisson Becker, Xherdan Shaqiri, Kostas Tsmikas, Alex-Oxlade...
I GO to places in my head. In these abnormal days when it’s hard for any of us to be on our travels, I remember what it was like to go by train or plane to some other city and exist in a place that isn’t Liverpool. I go in my head. I went to Amsterdam in...
