TONY Britten’s composed anthem has become the evocative tune of elite European football hits, and you’re immediately thrown into that place again. For Liverpool, they are back in that place. Tonight, they return to the Wanda Metropolitano just 10 months...

WHAT does the word ‘conspiracy’ mean to you? There was a time in my life where conspiracies usually involved getting lost down some kind of YouTube rabbit hole before realising hours had elapsed and the sun was not far from rising. You’ll probably all have a...
THE European Champions. The Champions Of The World. The team who are 25 points clear. One of the problems (if there really could be said to be any, because in reality, there are none) with Liverpool being so good, is that opponents tend to up their game. This...

“1990 is the time for the Guru.” YOU may have allowed Guru Josh, a Jersey born musician called Paul Walden, to slip from your memory, but in late 1989 that was his message to the world. That mantra came in his hit Infinity and, credit where it’s due, it...
