MO SALAH scores. Gambles and scores. Cardiff City have thrown their bodies on the line, done everything they can to stop the goal and yet the ball is in the back of the net, Anfield is in raptures, Cardiff in shreds and there isn’t yet 10 minutes on the clock....
WASN’T the prettiest at times that, was it? Still, there was nothing better than sticking it to Cardiff’s weird support — completely obsessed with libraries, the employment rate in Liverpool and a Steven Gerrard mistake that cost Liverpool the...
“I COULD hear the distant drums, “The sounds of bugles were coming from afar, “Can you hear the drums, Fernando?” (Andersson, 1975) Mo Salah could hear them. Sadio Mane could hear them. Bobby Firmino too. Three hearts beating as one. Once...
FOOTBALL is a fickle sport, not for the faint of heart. There will be highs, Liverpool’s scintillating ride to Kyiv last season was one. There will be lows, such as the dreary Roy Hodgson era that tested even the most optimistic supporters. It’s the heartbreak that...

YOU say you’ve got to go home. It is always someone’s first game. Always someone’s first time. This is important to remember when you rock up to Anfield giving few fucks, striding through the gloaming as the nights draw in. Remember this is...
IT’S been an interesting start to Xherdan Shaqiri’s Liverpool career. In one way, low key. In another, full of incident. He missed half of pre season due to his World Cup exploits, and then scored an amazing acrobatic goal in a 4-1 win against Manchester...
