AS a child, I was a big fan of the Asterix books; a series of French comics about a village of Gauls that continually keeps the invading Romans at bay. It’s all a lot more light hearted than it sounds. Asterix and his friends would take a magic potion brewed by their...
I’VE never known a season with so much quality attacking football. I’ve never known a season where Liverpool are awarded so few penalties, especially at home. I’m prepared to allow for a tactical idea — that sides tend to stand off...
FUCKING Stoke. I’m going home for a cup of tea in a glass. Going to smash the living daylights out of all of me bowls, cups, plates and anything that looks like they might make it in Stoke. Single-use plastic lad, that’s where it’s at. Use it once, lash it in the sea....
SAVE the whatthefuckery till the end of the season, because right now it means absolutely nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, me an all, as soon as Mo Salah, in the third minute of the match, revealed that actually he is in fact the product of natural evolution, of this earth...

AMID the joy of what we witnessed at Anfield on Tuesday evening, there is sadness that one of our own lies critically ill in hospital following an unprovoked attack just yards from The Kop. Sean Cox, a dad of three, did nothing other than what we have all done so many...
LIVERPOOL’S performance against Roma on Tuesday night is one to be enjoyed, writes HARRY HAWTHORNE. To shun the prospect of savouring such a result, achieved in such a way, could be construed as lunacy. As fans, it’s what you love the game for. It’s why you accept the...
IT’S another one of Heaton’s letters to himself, one where the younger Heaton is telling the current Heaton not to be a giant shithouse. I am, of course, referring to Liverpool coming out of the ground tonight three goals to the good having scored FIVE goals. But...
