JOSH EDGAR “WE’VE conquered all of Europe, we’re never gonna stop.” It’s half time at the Ataturk Stadium. Liverpool are 3-0 down to a team regarded as the best in Europe and my seven-year-old self runs to my room sobbing. My mum’s sincere attempt to comfort me with...
WE go to Rome on Wednesday. A city that means so much to the older generation of our fan base, but means very little to us, writes DOMINIC CLIFF. We know about the European Cup wins there — “In ‘77 and ‘84 it was Rome”. You’ve heard the song. You’ve seen the...
DAY one in Rome. For all the buildup to Liverpool’s semi final second leg, it would be easy to worry about the worst-case scenario that potentially greeted the 5,000 Reds who will be descending on the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday. By contrast, what we have found so...
WE have conquered all of Europe. I never want this to stop. Let’s not fall flat on our faces at this stage. Let’s win the fucking pot. ALLEZ, ALLEZ, ALLEZ! At each stage of this European Cup journey I’ve said to myself “just let us reach the next round”. I’ve not...

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...
CAST your mind back to Brendan Rodgers’ time at Liverpool Football Club. What abiding memory jumps out at you? For most it would be 2013-14 season, when the Northern Irishman harnessed and developed a talented, yet threadbare Liverpool side to the point of title...
