LIVERPOOL absolutely tore Arsenal apart at Anfield, again. It’s becoming a regular occurrence, but no less pleasurable to witness. Yes, the Gunners had their problems with their midfielders deciding that defending was an optional extra, and Arsene Wenger’s bizarre...
BRING. Bring on. Bring on your. Bring on your Internazionale. Liverpool are not immovable, never entirely not irresistible but good lord were they very good indeed at times this evening. The key times were these: 0 – 22. During that time they took the whole tie...
LIVERPOOL are back in the Champions League. Where this club belongs. Anfield deserves to host it. Jürgen Klopp deserves to manage in it. These players deserve to play in it. We deserve to watch it. And it will, and it will, and he will, and they will… and we will. I...

THERE should be a word for the pain of a draw which feels like a defeat. In fact, there should be a word for the pain of a draw which feels like a defeat, after snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Because that word is the word. That word is the most the...
