LIVERPOOL beat Porto to get to the Champions League semi finals. They beat them 6-1 on aggregate. It is the fourth time in Liverpool’s history they have made back-to-back European Cup or Champions League semi finals. The fourth time. These are the good times,...
WENT to Portugal once. Room had no hot water. Jib it. Alisson: 8 Backs himself, like, doesn’t he? First minute, I’m him getting the ball to feet and I’m fucking head down, blammo, kicking it into the Atlantic. This fella is looking to play at every opportunity. Makes...
WE’VE been in Porto since Monday and finally the promised wet weather has arrived. I’m sat in my hotel room looking across a rainy city rather than the one baked in sunshine that we have been enjoying for the last couple of days. We were warned, though....
I WAS in Sheffield on April 15, 1989. I was 22 years, four months and 10 days old. I try to think about that day as little as possible. The years have passed to become the decades that are now drifting by at pace. My memory of that April day is razor sharp. I think...

I DON’T know about you but I need this fucking season to hurry up and end. I’m like fourth season Bubs at this point. A ghost of a man. Hollowed out. Somehow, this morning I agreed to buy my bird a caravan if The Reds win the league. A fucking caravan. Like a...
HERE we are again and here they are again. It’s 2014 all over again. Us on the edge of fulfilling our destiny and them cast in the role of spiteful dream wreckers. There was no need for them to take the title from us and hand it to Manchester City in 2014, and equally...
OF course it still hurts. It still makes you drop your head and shrug in a way that only heartbreak can. I still want to put my arms around Steven Gerrard and hide him from the lenses in the way he had to for his crestfallen teammate days later. Liverpool 0 Chelsea 2...
