HAPPY Christmas, pilgrims. Another year and The Reds top of the pile again on the 25th. I make this the fourth time in the past 10 years that this has happened – 2009, 2014, 2018, 2019. They used to say that the team that lead at Christmas always won the title...

WE did commentary recently on the Salzburg game. In the buildup, we had about a dozen conversations with the app company on whether the commentary would definitely sync up with the football on the screen. Poor Andy was holed up in a bunker for 24 hours before making...
WHAT a journey we’ve been on. Sometimes you just need to stand back and take stock of how much Liverpool have advanced in the modern day, and how much coverage of the club has changed in accordance with that. Yes, we’ve gone from “Another Wasted Corner” to “Another...
“DO not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention.” (L. R. Knost) “When the call came in autumn 2015, I felt we were perfect for each other. If anything, now I feel I...
