ABSENCE makes the heart grow fonder, even if it is only a little bit of absence. It has barely been six weeks since Liverpool signed off their title-winning campaign with a 3-1 victory at Newcastle, but this Saturday, the Champions kick off the new season against...
WELL. That was a pretty short summer, wasn’t it? Can you even call it a summer? I mean, the weather didn’t really put much effort in while there was no football for us to consume. And as far as some sections of Liverpool’s support are concerned, that lack of effort...
FOLLOWING a season of ambiguity, ultimately curtailed by a global pandemic, Liverpool Women’s vision for the 2020-21 campaign couldn’t be more clear. Today, their bid to return to the Women’s Super League at the first time of asking will begin as they welcome Durham...
IT’S the best final to lose. But it still becomes losing. Losing is OK in a sense. You get beat from time to time. How you get beat and what you do next matters. This one, a penalty shootout and the width of a crossbar, offers us some positives, some questions...
HONESTLY, I’m struggling to type here. Been laying on a floor all day, I’m like a dog trying to look at the sky. Absolute Gladstone Small neck. Fingers are like big sausages. Fucking Richmond hands. Splatting away on about four keys at a time. Bank holiday weekends...
ON Saturday August 29, Liverpool FC begin again. A new start in the year of the restart. The parading of the Champions starts here. The Champions grand tour commences at Wembley stadium this weekend. Although I’d really rather have a lot less miles on my clock, one...

The Anfield Wrap and Nike have partnered for a community initiative in Toxeth alongside Kingsley United and Earl Jenkins to support grassroots football. Nike has arrived and their partnership with Liverpool is going to mean more than just selling football kits....
IT’S fair to say we all thought we’d have seen a lot more of Rhian Brewster in Liverpool’s first team by now. After joining Liverpool from Chelsea in 2015, the striker was quick to impress. After initially joining the club’s U18 side he was quickly promoted to the U23...
THIS week on The Anfield Wrap, we’ve been recording the summer transfer game. Neil presents us with a list of names and prices for ins and outs, and we get to pretend to be Jürgen Klopp for a fleeting hour. They’re good fun and always give an insight into where people...
With Yan Diomande seemingly set for a switch to PSG with Liverpool failing in their pursuit of the Ivorian where will the Reds look next to strengthen their right hand side?
To go through the alternatives, their strengths and weakness and what might happen are Neil Atkinson, John Gibbons, Kev Reilly and Kieran Molyneux.
Also in the show, John Gibbons is joined by Georgina Hannaway and John McDonough to talk about Claire House Children’s Hospice, the work they do and also about John’s upcoming fundraiser for the hospice.
