MICHAEL Owen achieved some pretty remarkable feats during his career as a footballer. Winning almost every major honour the club game has to offer — barring a glaring Champions League triumph of which many on Merseyside are only too happy to remind him about — Owen’s...
AND so the records fall. Liverpool’s dismantling of Burnley saw Jürgen Klopp’s men record their 13th successive league win and thus surpass Kenny Dalglish’s record of 12 from 1990. Afterwards, the manager claimed that he had no idea that the record so much as existed,...
NOBODY looks forward to a game against Burnley. Be it home or away, Sean Dyche’s side never represent an easy three points, although they do relinquish them far more often than perceived against the bigger sides. In the main though, their agricultural style has found...

SOMETIMES I think I’m just wishing my life away. Last season has done strange things to me. Maybe you’re the same. I’m catching myself wanting the year to move along faster because I’m impatient to find out how this all ends up for the Mighty Reds. It’s funny but I’m...
