IN and of itself, it is run of the mill. West Ham United casually dispatched. Liverpool not to be touched. Onwards to Graceland. In reality, it is anything but. Liverpool are 70 points from 72, 19 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. They...
SAY what you want about Moyes, but he can’t half fill space. Fills it like a fucking boss. You should see his garage. Jam packed with all kinds. Two or three lawnmowers in there, no bother. All hung up. Plastic storage boxes full of books. Loads of golf clubs. Tools....
THERE was to be no taming of the shrew and now it’s caused a right old tempest. Thank you and good night. Liverpool may have surrendered a two-goal lead last Sunday, but that’s now a mere footnote to the barney it’s caused since. Jürgen had his week off in Rhyl all...
I’M approaching The Hammers away in a state of discombobulation. I’m all over the show, suffering with low level (but manageable) flu and a series of frustrations. We all love following The Reds but doing so involves making quite large spaces in our life for them....
SEEING Liverpool’s rivals thrashing about in the transfer market in the final week of the January window, trying to sign anything that moves, must be heartening for Michael Edwards to see. The Reds’ sporting director had done all his work for the month before it had...

DESPERATE. The word of the day. Liverpool were desperate at times today. Jürgen Klopp made 11 changes once again in domestic cup competition, but this time he couldn’t strike the balance that he has struck so well in previous games. The young lads started the game so...
“I HAVE no clue yet. I’m about to go and find out.” Jürgen Klopp there, when asked what kind of challenge he expects from Shrewsbury in his Friday press conference. It was an honest response that elicited no further enquiry from the press pack but it jolted me. I know...
THE league, the league, the league… All we talk about is the league. Of course it’s all we talk about. It’s been so long. We’ve come so close. And sometimes it felt like it was never going to come home again. Now it is. Surely it is. You know the numbers, you know...
