I SUPPOSE you can’t have everything. It wasn’t the best derby performance ever and that might have been down to rustiness, unusual playing conditions or simply a case of ‘too many cooks’. It wasn’t just the Liverpool team that played on Sunday night, but the Liverpool...
IT could prove a significant moment. Ben Mee, straight down the barrel of the camera making clear that he and his side were both embarrassed and ashamed by the banner that flew over their heads. Mee is absolutely bristling with anger as he speaks, infuriated as much...
LIVERPOOL supporters have been truly spoiled this season. We’ve gorged on a diet of wins and goals and have been league champions in all but name for months. Wrapping up league titles early is not a new phenomenon. Just two seasons ago, Pep Guardiola’s 100-point Man...
THE more things change, the more they stay the same. No crowd, no handshakes, and because it was a Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, no goals. The big wait for football to return and for Liverpool to continue their procession to an inevitable Premier League title...

I TELL you what. That was quite the journey. I went from thinking it was just a victory that we were getting to watch The Reds again when so many were so desperate for it not to be happening, to Liverpool making me tear my hair out, to being happy with a point, to...
I LOVE the derby. I’ve always loved the derby. And while this one is undoubtedly going to be weird, it’s another derby nevertheless. Something to feast on after a football famine. And another way to beat Everton. In the summer. In June. On my birthday. It’s a time of...
IT sounds beyond a cliche to categorise supporting Liverpool Football Club as a rollercoaster ride. We seem to all but constantly be at the mercies of the extremities of fate. Our relationship with the team is not a normal one. The average ‘sports fan’ does not go...
I’VE spent most of the week redecorating. To the point where the Premier League return crept up on me inexplicably, despite the fact I’ve remained working within the confines of football’s dystopian world throughout and had three months to prepare...
