I’D like to have ice in my veins. I’d like to be able to say we should just treat this year’s FA cup with total disdain. Many years ago though, that competition was good to me and it was good to Liverpool Football Club. Bill Shankly isn’t Bill Shankly...
SO, we’re still top. And it seems they still don’t like it. In the buildup to yesterday’s media-driven hyperbole of a “title-deciding” game at the Etihad Stadium, which it never at any point was, sections of passionately timorous social media tribes were collectively...
GETTING beat hurts. It is rubbish. Hold that close, Reds. Remember that pain. Four clear. Seventeen games to go. Arsenal and City completed. You’d have taken it at the moment when Virgil van Dijk slices the ball towards Jordan Pickford’s goal, by god...
Pre Match THE problem with a free hit is you have got to land the fucker well. I mean, when you think about it, who in their right mind is offering up a free crack? Juice heads and fellas with necks like chimney stacks, that’s who. No one gets to waft a dig at these...

HERE we are again. Face to face with the future we crave. All we’ve ever wanted. What we’ve ached for. It’s carved in angry biro into every fibre of our long-suffering, Liverpool-loving beings. We get up in the morning to win the league. We put up with the working...
BEN JOHNSON is on Boxing Day family duties today, so we’re bringing you alternative Anfield Wrap Christmas ratings. The best minds at TAW have put their heads together to score Liverpool’s most important lads from the day The Reds went six clear at the top...
THE Title Truism… “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” It is a marathon and a sprint. It is an 800m race, two laps of the track where you run as fast as you can. It’s long distance, it’s dead fast. It’s tactical, it’s...
