ANY matchday where we increase our lead is sound by me. That said, someone hold this bevy while I twat me self over the head with this shovel. Alisson: 7 Give it away a bit first half, but so what? He’s so good at sweeping up lad, his starting position is amazing. If...
MY worst memory as a Liverpool fan isn’t a final we’ve lost, although the FA Cup in 1996 was a particularly dark day. It isn’t a player leaving, although I’m sure we all have one who broke our heart — hiya, Fernando. It wasn’t even...
I HAVE often questioned the “is the glass half full or half empty?” proverb. Mostly because I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “half empty” in any other context. I’m not convinced it’s a real saying, like Fred Astaire suggesting that some people pronounce potato...
AMONG the favourite go-tos for the football “banter” tribe is the idea of a club’s fanbase – often running into many millions worldwide – being “deluded”. It’s a barb often aimed at Liverpool supporters. You’ve heard it, you’ve seen it, you know it....
I WOULD like to be looking back on these previews in the summer and laughing at my own childish anxiety and fecklessness in the face of a Liverpool title challenge. I want to be basking in the summer sun and the glow of Liverpool having been crowned champions. I’d...

I LIKE footballers but they don’t half tell fibs. They obey the laws of the game like I stick to the speed limit — when they think someone is watching. We each draw our own red lines across the game’s rule book. It’s no more than a guideline, a paper for...
QUIET, isn’t it? Liverpool have gone to Dubai and we are hearing very little out of the camp. The players are off social media, it seems — as if they have been asked to hand their phones in at the start like one of those shit stag dos with loads of rules....
IT is fair to say that things are currently going well at Liverpool Football Club. Jürgen Klopp, his players and the fans are all on board the SS “Let’s win the Premier League and then find a shorter, sharper name for our metaphorical ship”, but it’s not...
RIO Ferdinand is a strange one, isn’t he? After repeatedly having his arse handed to him on a plate for ill-advised, and frankly wrong-headed, comments about Newcastle United last week, you would think he might want to keep his head down for a little bit. As I wrote...
