IT says a lot about the damage Manchester United have done to my psyche that at 1-1 with half an hour to go against Arsenal, I still fully expected them to win. Even as each substitution lessened their quality and their side becoming increasingly unrecognisable, I...
MANCHESTER United and Liverpool have traded places once again. The Old Trafford club are down, further than we could ever have hoped and imagined in on Merseyside. They are in the midst of their worst start to a league season in 30 years, while Liverpool are seemingly...
I’M not falling for it. Liverpool’s next opponents currently sit in 12th place with nine points having won just twice this season. The opening eight games represent their worst ever start in Premier League history. Their last away win came at Selhurst Park back in...

WE are Liverpool, this means more. A statement that is to many as antagonising by its ambiguity as it is motivating. Yet enter any tangible or virtual Liverpool FC platform and you will see the slogan plastered around in various forms. Visible throughout any such...
JÜRGEN Klopp will tell you it means nothing. That’s where we and he differ. While the manager will be looking at the next three points rather than where Adama Traore’s late salvo puts the title race, we can’t stop looking at the league table and wishing it was early...
