IT is the end of days. The faceless masses who have survived gather near the wreckage that remains of what used to be civilisation. Scared and confused, they approach the steps with caution. At the top is a figure. He turns to reveal himself as their hero. The one who...
LIVERPOOL locking horns with Real Madrid in the biggest game of the European football calendar has a eloquent feel to it, writes JOEL SANDERSON-MURRAY. Feels right, doesn’t it? The names bounce off the page at you. Liverpool and Real Madrid, these are the big boys,...
THERE are fewer long-standing social cliques in the city of Liverpool than those who are or have been allied in some form to the amateur football scene. Liverpool, in many ways, is a city which very much acts in the form of a community. There would be no night out...
LOOK at these men, writes CAOIMHE O’NEILL. These men, in their red ties who have fancifully danced us into the elite ballroom of a European Cup final. Another European Cup final and it’s about time. The players have fought tooth and nail to get us here,...
WHAT to write about in a week like this? What to say that hasn’t already been said a thousand times? I wasn’t at the match on Sunday. Jürgen Klopp knocked on at mine after the Chelsea game and told me to have the weekend away. He said I’d put a lot into the Champions...

I DON’T like to start on a bit of a downer and that, but someone needs to do something about these referees, mate. That fucker Friend wants fucking legging out of the city boundaries, like fucking Thelma and Louise, but instead of a load of bizzies, it is Andy...
JÜRGEN Klopp says we must only think about Brighton this week, and that’s the way it should be. I deviated from the script. I also thought about Huddersfield and David Wagner a lot too. Said it before, I’ll say it again, but you get more for your buck at this stage of...
John Gibbons is joined by Will Arnett and John Bishop in the Glenbuck to react immediately to the game and chat about their new film ‘Is This Thing On?’
