IN the bowels of Anfield, as the fans sung their hearts out and the world tried to come to terms with what they’d just seen, Jürgen Klopp looked at his watch and smiles. “It’s 10 past 10, most children are probably in bed… These boys are...
ARE you not having fun? How can you not be? This isn’t the current state of mind. I’m on a train from Madrid to Barcelona the morning after watching Liverpool win their sixth European cup. The trophy is intoxicating in its sheer presence. It engulfs you, it is a...
MADRID Airport. Sunday, June 2. I mean, I was up at 6.45am, not a mark on me. No hangover, no nothing. Mine was an unusual Champions League final day. Friday night, you see, got a smidgen out of hand. European Cup nerves and that, the ale flew, bevied twice in a day....

IT’S day two on the bus. Or is it day three? It starts to get hard to tell, to be honest. There is time and there is the bus. Suns rise and suns fall and the bus keeps on going. Between 1am and 11pm on Wednesday we were on a bus moving towards Madrid, save for a...
MAY is anniversary month. Last week saw the celebration of ‘Istanbul Day’ and Reds of a certain age took to social media to share clips of the Gerrard goal and Dudek’s save. A day later Arsenal fans celebrated “Michael Thomas” day while, on the same day, United...
