LIVERPOOL v Manchester City — the prevailing battle. Liverpool v Leicester City — the evening’s affair. Mathematics v Feelings — the inner struggle. Had both Liverpool and Manchester City won you’d be bouncing, but we’d be as you...
ANY matchday where we increase our lead is sound by me. That said, someone hold this bevy while I twat me self over the head with this shovel. Alisson: 7 Give it away a bit first half, but so what? He’s so good at sweeping up lad, his starting position is amazing. If...
MY worst memory as a Liverpool fan isn’t a final we’ve lost, although the FA Cup in 1996 was a particularly dark day. It isn’t a player leaving, although I’m sure we all have one who broke our heart — hiya, Fernando. It wasn’t even...
I WOULD like to be looking back on these previews in the summer and laughing at my own childish anxiety and fecklessness in the face of a Liverpool title challenge. I want to be basking in the summer sun and the glow of Liverpool having been crowned champions. I’d...

QUIET, isn’t it? Liverpool have gone to Dubai and we are hearing very little out of the camp. The players are off social media, it seems — as if they have been asked to hand their phones in at the start like one of those shit stag dos with loads of rules....
IT is fair to say that things are currently going well at Liverpool Football Club. Jürgen Klopp, his players and the fans are all on board the SS “Let’s win the Premier League and then find a shorter, sharper name for our metaphorical ship”, but it’s not...
RIO Ferdinand is a strange one, isn’t he? After repeatedly having his arse handed to him on a plate for ill-advised, and frankly wrong-headed, comments about Newcastle United last week, you would think he might want to keep his head down for a little bit. As I wrote...
YOU know you are alive. My lord, you know you are alive. Isn’t that the point? It is, but you felt that maybe a bit too much. It shouldn’t have been this way. Eight minutes in, James Milner goes on a charging run from back to front, and you think Liverpool...
