SOMEBODY once asked me what my biggest gripe about Liverpool city centre was on an Anfield Wrap episode of AFQ. I could have mentioned the newly built “haunted house” eyesore that had opened on Dale Street which looked completely out of place. Or the fact that I...
SUNDAY was a good day. Considering it started with me dry heaving in the shower after over-excessing at a wedding the day before, the rest of it represented a great turnaround we can all be proud of. I left the house at around 8am, grabbing a dozen or so beers I...
JAMES Milner’s fault? Virgil van Dijk’s fault? Alisson’s fault? Whomever was to blame for Fulham’s equaliser against Liverpool on Sunday, they owe me, and presumably all of you, for the years that goal took off us… For seven minutes at least. Tongue out of cheek, all...
YOUR heart pounding when James Milner steps up. Your head hurts a little bit, that might be a sign of last night, your head hurts and your heart pounds, and you watch James Milner step up and you are pleased he is there but know what it all means. It means everything....

SO is this just what we do now? Thousands of scousers taking over a European city, painting it red, drinking it dry and making it dance to the tune of Dirty Old Town or one of the other modern classics. The lads on the pitch doing the business. Them doing it for us....
WELL, somebody’s got to say it… That was not a great Liverpool performance. Not for me, Clive. Great result, deserved result, decisive result. Such a great result that you can tell me that the performance doesn’t matter, tell me to stop being a grumpy old man, tell me...
ABSOLUTE scenes. The big one we have all been waiting for. Liverpool’s win means everything. It means they can be the best team in Europe. It means they can be the best team you have ever seen. The expectations should no longer be managed because this was the...
Liverpool emerged victorious in their first visit to the Hill Dickinson stadium, overcoming Everton in their new ground thanks to a 100th minute winner courtesy of Virgil van Dijk.
