IT was the best of times. It was the worst of times. The opening game of the Champions League highlighted the differing trajectories of Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, albeit merely weeks into the new campaign. While Liverpool outplayed one of the tournament’s...
THIS is the type of game I look forward to most. Following a team involves so much tense anticipation and trepidation. Who really relishes the prospect of a derby or watching us go to Old Trafford? Yes, there’s excitement at just how important a result could be...
I’VE developed a new app that’s going to be bigger than Facebook, Instagram and Twitter combined. It was a flash of inspiration during The Anfield Wrap’s weekday video Talking Reds with host Neil Atkinson last week, and I’ve already got investors from around the...
PARIS. Have you ever been? Romantic capital of the world, apparently. I’ve never been, but my bird’s auld fella lived there for a bit. Said there is dog shit everywhere and you can’t lift your head off the floor. Jib it. Alisson: 7 He’s massive, you know....
WHAT about that? What about it? Go fuck yourselves, you fucking cowards. They are good, you know. They are good Paris Saint-Germain. Better than good. I will remember watching Angel Di Maria tonight. I will remember being impressed. I will remember being more...

ONE of the theories for Liverpool’s current run of form under Jürgen Klopp is that the core group of players understand what is expected of it. They know where to play, when to go, when to stay – what their responsibilities are. And The Reds are reaping the benefits,...
IT’S all getting a bit too much. I feel like Bobby Firmino. It would almost be relief to sit this one out. Happy to be half blind. Liverpool’s intensity in these early league games has been something to behold. Sure, they haven’t yet been truly electric, but...
