TIS the season. No, not that season. Not yet, despite the thousands of identikit Christmas adverts we’ve been subjected to already. Seeing as everyone else is at it, I’ve had an idea for a Liverpool one. A young brother and sister are waking up at obscenely early...
JUST prior to England’s 4-0 win over Kosovo on Sunday, our own Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain took centre stage. Chamberlain’s international career began seven and a half years ago, in a 1-0 win over Norway – incidentally Roy Hodgson’s first game as England manager. He...
UNLESS you’ve been living in a wi-fi wilderness, you’ve probably noticed the fall out from Liverpool’s victory over Manchester City. Away from the piss-boiling of the VAR outrage, official complaints about the referee and Raheem Sterling’s meltdown, a question can be...
“ONE greedy bastard, there’s only one greedy bastard.” As far as witty retorts go, it isn’t the best by Liverpool’s standards. Yet Raheem Sterling seems to constantly take the bait. Whether that is by having a quiet game or the one witnessed on Sunday, there is...

I SEE Guardiola’s head has well and truly gone. To be honest, you could tell they were going to get beat when you seen the cut of him before the game. Forty minutes to kick off, up he pops, hasn’t shaved his bald head. As a fellow baldy, I’m saying that is a sign you...
“I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime, I might not ever get home.” BEING abroad and watching these. Being abroad and being represented by the best sports team on the planet. Knowing these are the best of the best. The best men alive today....
I’M in a difficult moment. Still struggling to live in the here and now. I simply cannot wait for this epoch-defining game to be over and simultaneously for it to never happen. Same for this season as an entirety. Liverpool being good again is forcing me to wish my...
