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...
JOE Gomez didn’t half look a good player on Tuesday night. Did you see the way he accelerated to cover Dejan Lovren when Moussa Marega threatened to run in behind Liverpool? Did you notice the intelligent positions he took up when Trent Alexander-Arnold sold himself a...
ROBERTO Firmino’s goal last night took him to 15 for the season in all competitions. He’ll have to go some way from now on to match the 27 he got last season, but it is still his second highest total since joining Liverpool, his third highest in his...
FOOTBALL fans are rarely in tandem. From debating who’s the better footballer between Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi to analysing the best player ever to play in the Premier League or even just divulging your annoyance at the latest team selection. In the...
ALRIGHT. A bastard of a word. But that was the most alright, wasn’t it? Good alright, I mean. It was, however, almost much better than alright. However, Liverpool have a big game at the weekend. However, Porto are a tidy side. However, sometimes it just...

IT’S one of the most soothing sounds in football. The rest is a nervous silence, which emphasises all other noises around it, as a random European legend twists open the plastic ball like he’s just eaten a massive Kinder Surprise, places the empty shell on the desk...
A QUARTER-FINAL tie at Anfield looms large. A breather from the breathless chase for the title. The last eight and, by common consensus, the best draw Liverpool could have hoped for. And yet, the story around The Reds’ European Cup foray of 2018-19 feels like a...
I’M away for this. On holiday. Feels a bit mad to be away at this most crucial phase of our season, but we are where we are. Watching football alone in bars in warmer places is a guilty pleasure of mine, though. I’m at peace with it. My sons kick off whenever I book...
Everything is emotional. Everything hurts. Everything feels fabulous. Every song I write’s about you. After 30 minutes I was glad you weren’t there. Glad you weren’t putting up with it. Glad you weren’t watching Liverpool’s first, second...
Turning all our attention towards the Reds’ upcoming Premier League encounter with Manchester City at Anfield. Neil Atkinson is joined by Josh Sexton, Abigail Rudkin & John Gibbons.
