A LIVERPOOL starting XI made up of players from the last 11 seasons, one for each season. Ok, sound. Boss these, aren’t they? When you can’t even remember last week or last month, never mind games 11 years ago. But go ‘ed, my go. Fucking *hours* later: Done it. Takes...
I’VE enjoyed doing these challenges for Liverpool.com. However, I did do one a couple of weeks ago in which I left out Mohamed Salah and the internet let me know about it more than you can imagine. This one from Josh is, again, harder than it looks. The reason why is...
ELEVEN Reds for 11 seasons… Jamie Carragher has spent the last few weeks compiling various starting XIs based on such varied criteria as nationality, an NFL-style draft and even a combined team of the Soccer Aid players. I never thought I’d see Woody Harrelson...

I SUPPOSE the question for me is which game this season did I know I was watching champions? Wherever this season eventually leads and whatever asterisk opposition supporters will try to place on it, Liverpool played out almost eight months of football in which they...
BOXING Day football is a staple of every English season. Your guts may be stuffed to overflowing and your head might be a bit fuzzy or throbbing, but the Boxing Day programme will usually sort all that out. It’s even better if we’re at home. You simply stumble to the...
‘BEAT everyone, and once you’ve done that, beat them again’. That’s been the theme of Liverpool’s season so far. After playing the other 19 teams in the Premier League once, Liverpool had beaten 18 of them. There was just one outlier. One stubborn opposition that was...
AGAINST modern football? Not really mate, no. However, there are a long list of things about the coverage football gets now that has become tiresome over time. Much of that list has become a problem off the back of the introduction of social media and the fact...
