THE story of England at Italia 90 cannot be told without considering happenings off the field, writes SIMON HART in a chapter from his new book, World in Motion: The Inside Story of Italia 90. Only five years had passed since the Heysel Stadium disaster, when a surge...
IT’S not really where fans thought the club would be, writes SAM McGUIRE. We’re into the second week of June and Liverpool have made just one new signing to add to the incoming Naby Keita. The way in which the club tied up Fabinho painted a picture of a...
FOR many of those that regularly go to watch Liverpool home and away, the battle scars from standing in sections not fit for that purpose have become a bit of a joke. Cuts and bruises from tumbling into, and over, shin-high backs of seats are often part of the brag...
FOLLOWING The Reds across Europe isn’t a new proposition for the Scouse contingent, writes STEPHEN WALMSLEY. It’s a sacred practice steeped in tradition, from the icy roads of Reykjavik in the ’60s to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean and beyond...

YOU play out scenarios in your head. You don’t want to but you can’t help it. What if this happens? What if that happens? How will you feel? How will you react? One thing this Liverpool team does better than anybody, though, is surprise you by coming up with a...
I’M somewhere in Western Ukraine. The arid flatlands, with their pallid yellow grass, stretch beyond the horizon. The belt of tarmac we’ve been tumbling along for 12 hours is the sole sign that civilisation has made its mark on this part of the planet....
FOOTBALL can be so cruel. I’m finding it hard to be disappointed in any member of this Liverpool side after last night. These lads were the best team in the Champions League this season, but come away from the final without the trophy to show for it. For a team that...
With Arne Slot under further pressure after another disappointing result at Anfield, dropping points again to promoted opposition and with certain candidates now available, if LFC do decide to make a change, who would they look to bring in?
Rob Gutmann hosts Ste Evans, Lola Katz-Roberts and Neil Atkinson.
