THE Reds are top of the league. The wriggly arms are back. What a time to be alive. Liverpool didn’t need to get out of first gear to finish off a West Ham side who were there for the taking, and even a convincing 4-0 flattered The Hammers in the end. In truth,...
“I LOVE the first day, man, everybody all friendly and shit.” Namond Brice in The Wire had it right. School is in as of this weekend and we all get to go back to an environment where fun and enjoyment is just as fundamental as the learning process we continue to go...
JÜRGEN Klopp’s Liverpool are a big noise. Like beating drums. A rumble a year ago, intensifying with each passing month. A cacophony in the league, a march in Europe. By April, Reds were pounding. Manchester City were deafened, Roma drowned out. Tempo is everything in...
WHAT was the image of the summer for you? Xherdan Shaqiri’s acrobatic finish? Mo Salah turning into Bob Latchford in New Jersey? (Ask your grandad.) All the lads bored senseless in the Nascar museum? Curtis Jones strutting around like he owned every place?...

HIS face is everywhere. On billboards across the world, on the side of planes, even in Times Square in New York City. Mo Salah is a world-renowned superstar. Twelve months ago, to many outside of Egypt and Rome, he was still that Chelsea reject who cost too much and...
NEW season eve. Reds all over the land will go to bed on Saturday dreaming of what the football gods will bring like kids dreaming of Father Christmas. The World Cup was a good distraction, but that is all it can ever be. I can’t wait for the real football to start. I...
“IT’S always this little plus if they come from Liverpool. “If I have two players, same quality, but one speaks proper English and the other one speaks Scouse, the Scouser is in! “That’s why we are Liverpool.” It’s a small statement from Jürgen...
