I’VE always measured out my happiness in points and prizes. If Liverpool are winning, things are generally more right than wrong with the world. As a young man I supported a Liverpool team that broadly kept us in a state of perpetual bliss, but down the decades...
AFTER the glory of lifting European Cup number six in Madrid in June – coupled with gathering a club-record 97 points in the Premier League – many predicted Liverpool would turn to the transfer market with the star shining so brightly. Use the position of strength as...
I DON’T like the derby for a number of reasons. My friends constantly take the piss out of the fact that even if Everton found themselves bottom of the Premier League on no points and faced a Liverpool team who had already won the league, I’d still take a draw. I’ve...
