IN October 1986, Liverpool travelled to Craven Cottage to play Fulham in the second leg of a Littlewoods Cup tie. The Double winners sat third in the league having seen off Wimbledon at Plough Lane three days earlier. There wasn’t much interest in the tie and that was...
I FELT tremendously guilty yesterday. There was a wasp in my kitchen. I opened the windows in the hope he’d fly out, but despite about 20 per cent of the room being open windows, he managed to miss every time and an hour later, was still there. As he sat on the...
GREAT that, wasn’t it? Five things and that… 1. Sadio’s bird might be fucking berserk Sadio started like he had had murder with his bird just before kick off. Perhaps he had. I did. Maybe he could feel my angst. Kindred spirits, blood brothers or whatever. Maybe...
IT felt thrilling, building to this one. It felt like an event. All the urgency was back, the undertow of the journey was suddenly there. This wasn’t just the idea of Liverpool playing and winning. Not the idea of setting a standard. But the idea of making a...

WHAT an away end that would have been last Sunday. West London, awash with red smoke, Nike 110s and Scousers jiving hips to their new cuban beat. You didn’t have to be there. You could be in Liverpool on a Sunday evening or Melbourne on a Monday morning, either way...
THE question on everyone’s lips there. Is Abraham named after these? From there? I don’t know. Anyway, five things we learned, or whatever this is called, from The Reds’ 7-2 win. 1. No one knows where Lincoln is… No one, aside from some Lincoln heads. You...
SAY what you want, you don’t get many 2-7s. Say what you want, that was bananas. And say what you want but that was an enormous amount of fun. Liverpool may well be looking to lighten all of our autumns and that is a fantastic ambition from The Reds. There is...
