LIVERPOOL go 0-1 down in the wind and the hail and you wonder if they are going to break. It’s cycling up a mountain, a Tour de France stage with yellow jerseys and polkadot tops, loons running alongside the bikes. Cycling up a mountain and teeth are gritted,...
I’M saying that is The Reds’ best win of the season. It’s not an understatement to say that the weather all but tipped the balance in favour of them. Balls in the air were a coin toss, the wind was howling in some bits of the pitch, but not others. If Burnley...
I SOMETIMES wonder what we’re all in this for. Will most of us ever be happy? Is there really any meaning to any of this? What is the fucking point? Those questions have been more prominent watching a Liverpool title challenge from afar and witnessing the amount of...
I’M always surprised when a footballer answers back. I’ve only experienced it a couple of times. Whether that was an ex-Liverpool player who muttered the word “prick” to a disgruntled and annoying Paddock regular who felt the need to constantly tell him he wasn’t very...
Bad things, It’s a lot of bad things, That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’, They wishin’ on me, Yeah, yeah, Bad things, It’s a lot of bad things, That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and...

“EVERYONE was looking around as if to say, ‘Is he fucking serious?’,” Glen Johnson would later reflect. For some, it’s up there as the watershed moment of Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool career. Captured in the untimely, fly-on-the-wall documentary Being: Liverpool,...
I’M starting to go off Sundays, to be honest. The last two have produced the same bright mornings and shiny optimism of what may lie ahead, only to be doused by the waters of disappointment as Liverpool fail to win away to a bitter rival, allowing said rivals – and...
ANOTHER draw. Another afternoon of misfiring in front of goal. And another draw there, which has resulted in some supporters of 10th-placed Everton having a little gloat about it all. They’ve not had too much else to shout about so fair play. I remember those days....
The Anfield Wrap’s free podcast reflecting on the demoralising draw against Burnley at Anfield where Liverpool continue to frustrate at home against promoted opposition.
