THINK back to the person you were three years ago. Have you changed? Have you matured in any way? Have you ever given it a second thought? I can categorically say that both I and my life have changed for the better. This is likely to do with me evolving past my 20s...
LIVERPOOL are stuck in a bit of a rut. It’s the kind of rut that gets you 30 points from your first 12 league games. As if the results of the first three months of the season were not encouraging enough, the sense of optimism is somehow heightened by a feeling that...
IT was nice to see Fernando Torres this week, wasn’t it? Thought he was looking well. Japan seems to suit him. If you missed it he’s been talking about how he has “feelings” for both Liverpool and Chelsea and wants them both to win games, but...
“IF you ever find yourself near Ramses, get down on your knees.” Liverpool supporters may well be feeling that, after a start to the Premier League season that has seen them concede only five goals, a little prayer of thanks is in order to our new goalkeeper. Alisson...

WHOEVER is responsible for early kick offs needs to understand that they are absolutely shite. Every fucker is scrambling round like the clocks have gone forward three hours, the ground has moved to just outside Birmingham and they haven’t been to bed in a month. The...
JÜRGEN Klopp has done so much good since he took over three years ago. The German has established an identity that was missing for so long. He has got the supporters back onside after years of continued disillusionment caused by questionable decisions at board level....
‘YESTERDAY I got so old I thought that I would die…’ (In Between Days – The Cure, 1985) There are abiding clichés in football about “regret”. Usually trotted about before cup finals by managers and pundits. There’s always talk of “leaving nothing in...
