I bumped into a good Red friend this week at a GSCE awards night at my daughter’s school. Peter Harvey and I go back years, to school days in Crosby, Merseyside but more memorably to the local betting shop throughout our student days in the late 1980s. Post...
TWENTY-SEVEN years. The cross we all continue to bear every day of our lives, writes GEORGE BEVAN. At first this seems a rather excessive remark and a statement that can become somewhat tired, particularly when drawled out endlessly regardless of adequate context, yet...
IT’S beginning to rock along a lot like Christmas. Games coming thick and fast. Away trips to towns in the dark with cosy pubs with fires. Freezing your bollocks off at places like Stoke. Never feeling warmly dressed enough but not giving a fuck because The Reds...
THEY flit. Sadio Mane comes across and Mo Salah sees him. Goes the other side and fills the space. No one sees this because right in front of all of us, the Stoke players, the Liverpool end, everyone is fixated on Mane. How can you not be? The pace and the power of...
LAD. Getting here was like Whacky Races. Whacky Races with additional chat. We went through Wales. We went through England. We ended up in the heart of this weird little country, parked on a motorway, literally started to run down the motorway, ran back to the car,...
WE’RE about half way between when matches are moved for TV in January and February. At some time in the next couple of weeks Sky and BT will have a look at our games at home to Tottenham Hotspur, away at Southampton and at home to West Ham United and have a think...
A FEW weeks ago, I was chatting off air to the esteemed host of many Anfield Wrap shows, Neil Atkinson, about an aspect of the recruitment of football managers that we very rarely discuss and, therefore, don’t tend to factor into our expectation levels when someone...
THE least arsed I ever am about Liverpool is when they are shite. I honestly don’t care, I can detach myself from it, it just doesn’t hurt. I still pay my money, I still go, I still enjoy the wins but the horrible slog of watching a team on a downward spiral with very...
I LIKE Jürgen Klopp. You can’t really know a “celebrity” but I think I’m not miles away with Jürgen. I’ve watched, I’ve listened, I’ve learned. He’s exactly the same age as me — give a take a month — and I feel I’ve got a decent...
AS sliding doors moments go, this week has been a pretty unfortunate one for Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool team. If they clear the corner against Sevilla and win 3-2, elation and praise follows. If Willian doesn’t mishit his attempted cross and The Reds win 1-0...

On your Thursday ‘Breakfast Wrap’ on the morning after England broke Congolese hearts and Belgium staged a late comeback against Senegal.
Neil Atkinson is joined by Teza Simukulwa and John Gibbons to reflect on yesterdays fixtures before trying to make sense of what’s going on at Nottingham Forest.
