THEY fucking love getting their hair cut in Watford, you know. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many barbers in one gaff in my life. About 10, in a row, all of them chocker. Mad that, isn’t it? Alisson: 7 Tried to pass one to Firmino at centre half first half but fucked...
IT’S a small away end at Watford. I wish you could have been there with us, I wish it with all my heart. But that wasn’t always the case. Surround me with songs of deliverance, oh lord. You know, it was purgatory at the break. While Liverpool had finished...
“TO play for Liverpool is the dream, the aim, and I can’t see it changing, to be fair. “To say I have done that for the whole of my career is something I have dreamed of being able to say.” Trent Alexander Arnold’s quotes about becoming Liverpool’s next...

EVERYONE remembers where they were when John F. Kennedy was shot, or when man walked on the moon, or when Deirdre Barlow got sent to prison. However, few people probably remember where they were when Liverpool announced the signing of Dominic Solanke from Chelsea. I...
THINK back to the person you were three years ago. Have you changed? Have you matured in any way? Have you ever given it a second thought? I can categorically say that both I and my life have changed for the better. This is likely to do with me evolving past my 20s...
