BOXING Day football is a staple of every English season. Your guts may be stuffed to overflowing and your head might be a bit fuzzy or throbbing, but the Boxing Day programme will usually sort all that out. It’s even better if we’re at home. You simply stumble to the...
‘BEAT everyone, and once you’ve done that, beat them again’. That’s been the theme of Liverpool’s season so far. After playing the other 19 teams in the Premier League once, Liverpool had beaten 18 of them. There was just one outlier. One stubborn opposition that was...
AGAINST modern football? Not really mate, no. However, there are a long list of things about the coverage football gets now that has become tiresome over time. Much of that list has become a problem off the back of the introduction of social media and the fact...
LET’S have it right here from the very beginning… Liverpool’s win at Wolves on December 21, 2018, was NOT my favourite match of last season. But you know, we are where we are. Mr Friday Column is left with the breadcrumbs after everyone else this week has feasted on...

THE more we find ourselves holed up in homes and lassoed by lockdown, the more the idea that football is inconsequential looks ever more daft. When placed side by side with living or dying, then of course there are no comparisons. Everything is on hold now with very...
I RECENTLY said on an Anfield Wrap Review show that the 2017-18 season might be my favourite under Jürgen Klopp. That’s quite the statement given the highs achieved and still to come, but I stand by it. The sweet-spot moment of football support when you know your team...
