THEY say good things come to those who wait. Those of us who queue for hours in lines at the post office will disagree, or when you wait for two hours to get a table at a posh restaurant only to get served something that looks like an old shoe drizzled with marmite...
IT’S turning out to be a strange old season, this one. I genuinely don’t know how I feel about it. I mean, I’m happy, I think. Yeah, I must be. A good barometer of my football contentedness is my inclination to watch other teams play football. I’m watching any old...
EXACTLY one year ago, if you picked up the papers as a Red, or clicked on something about Liverpool online, it didn’t make for easy reading. The Reds had been on the end of a 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham Hotspur and the boots were flying in on a side that sat ninth in...

IT is never the best idea to begin a Anfield Wrap column by talking about Manchester United – but then United are talking lots about Liverpool… Jose Mourinho said it’s about time Jürgen Klopp lifted some silverware, Gary Neville said he believes the German may...
ONE of the main themes of Liverpool’s season has been the emergence of unlikely heroes. Daniel Sturridge has had something of a renaissance in 2018-19, reminding everyone what a world-class goalscorer he is amid conversations around Liverpool’s misfiring front three....
ONE of the funny things about growing up is that you realise everyone’s dad basically tells the same jokes. I don’t know if there was a joke book that they passed out at Oxford Street Maternity Hospital back in the ’80s — “here you go,...
