THE Premier League title race will not be won by a tactical system. The numbers that count are not 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 (or whatever combination that was at Burnley), they are the digits in the far right-hand column of the league table. Liverpool’s tally is a record 39...
VITALITY and purpose. Nothing other than the title is our business. Our business is nothing other than the title. There is a purity to that. Tonight told you that story and told you how much it matters to this club, this manager and his players, and what everyone is...
ARE we still doing this footy watching thing? I mean, seriously? I thought we all decided that it couldn’t get any better than Sunday, for as long as we live, even if we find the pool off Cocoon and double bubble it with the magic mouse off The Green Mile and live...
YESTERDAY we discovered Jürgen Klopp’s punishment for running a bit on Sunday was an £8,000 fine and “a warning about future behaviour”. Basically like your dad telling you to pack it in. Which, to be fair, is probably what my dad would say if I ran...
WE have a drill for Burnley away. It’s often felt like a rush to be getting there. It’s close, but there’s never quite enough time to fulfil all ambitions and expectations. This Wednesday will be a challenge. We’ve got to scoop my youngest, Rafael (Benitez) Gutmann...
DIVOCK Origi is my world. Divock Origi is my reason to be. Divock Origi is my first, my last, my everything. However, Gareth Roberts already wrote a terrific article on him yesterday, so here’s something on Virgil van Dijk. I rather enjoyed Sunday. It was a...
THE Kop was transformed into a living picture of flailing limbs. Screaming faces and a wild outpouring of raw emotion that only an injury time winner against your rivals can paint, but few will have thought of the man responsible for that moment of beauty at the time....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Honest to god, I’ve never seen anything like it in me life. That might have to do. Everyone gets 10. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Fucking hell. We should have known. Three little mings dressed a bit like Father Christmas except in...
THIS is the greatest day of our lives. There will be analysis and there will be chat, and there will be talk. But this is the greatest day of our lives. There is a piece. It is the only piece I have written in advance. I wrote it three years ago. The piece is 800...
THE Blues. The fucking Blues. And I guess that’s why they call them The Blues. I just cannot be arsed with them right now. And annoyingly, inevitably, they will be so invested in this weekend’s derby. Blues, blue men, blue people, you may well get your win, that win,...
