THERE’S every chance that in writing this I’ll sound like exactly what I am: a 42 year old man not averse to comparing past with present. But it is what it is, so here goes… On Saturday, Tranmere Rovers – for the second consecutive season – gained promotion via a...

IT’S easy to just think of ourselves, isn’t it? To think about how many years we’ve been doing this, how many times we’ve had these months or these trips. Even knowing we’ve done it so many times before I’m all over the place with it. There’s talk if Liverpool lose...
