BEN JOHNSON is on Boxing Day family duties today, so we’re bringing you alternative Anfield Wrap Christmas ratings. The best minds at TAW have put their heads together to score Liverpool’s most important lads from the day The Reds went six clear at the top...
THE Title Truism… “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” It is a marathon and a sprint. It is an 800m race, two laps of the track where you run as fast as you can. It’s long distance, it’s dead fast. It’s tactical, it’s...
I HOPE you’re reading my preview a bit pissed and soaked with Christmas cheer. That way you’ll be kinder with me and my flow. I’m not sure exactly where I’m going with this other than to say it will be off somewhere near the deep end. Keeping it together at the moment...
IT teemed down. It bounced down. It danced down. And you’re damn right we danced. Fucking hell, that was glorious. And fucking hell it was. Mad Friday and a mad Friday night in Wolverhampton, possibly the best night out in Wolverhampton that has ever been had. A...
