YOU never know with footballers. I once waited for six hours in a Cheshire hotel while a former speedy Liverpool goal scorer finished his “extra training”, which just so happened to coincide with a big horse race. A former Everton defender and Croatian manager got...
SINCE Mohamed Salah’s arrival on Merseyside, he has continually warped perceptions of what a normal season looks like in terms of attacking output. Supplying 44 goals and 16 assists in his first season, equalling Roger Hunt’s record of 23 goals before the turn of the...
ONE of the endearing features of the classic film Back To The Future is that once Marty McFly has seen how things could unfold in an alternative reality, he’s more appreciative of what he’s got around him in the here and now. Jürgen Klopp’s four-year anniversary at...

THERE is this time between when he gives it, when James Milner picks the ball up and when the penalty is going to be taken. Notice Kasper Schmeichel protests around the penalty spot with all his studs. Notice some players surround the referee. Drag the time out. The...
IT was a big game, that. A huge game. Leicester are, let’s be honest, a good side but also a massive gang of fucking bellends. That fucking Beckham shagger in centre mid, who didn’t get a touch until The Reds tired, throwing himself all over the gaff. That Manc twat...
