THE thing about the football that never fails to surprise me is how it never fails to surprise me. My relentless, forever recurring amnesia. That year on year, season upon season, decade upon decade, I never remember to treat those twin imposters — victory and...

FOOTBALL supporters can be fickle, and I certainly am at times. At any football club around the world there are moments when you really admire a player, and then there are moments you basically despise them, look no further than Dejan Lovren for the latter,...

STOP it, Liverpool. Just stop it. I have had enough of the nonsense around Liverpool lacking ruthlessness at both ends of the pitch; had enough of the nonsense inviting ruthlessness from opponents who deserve credit for hanging in but too often little else. Stop it....

WHAT do you think of Michael Owen? It’s a question that has been popping into my head pretty frequently over the past couple of weeks for various reasons. I’ve noticed myself subconsciously referencing him on multiple occasions and, when I do, the collective reaction...

NICE of Liverpool to warm up for this special night with a tonking. The kind of tonking that makes all of Europe sit up, take notice, and scoff. The beating of Arsenal and the euphoria that followed stylish Champions qualification, seem a while ago now. The...

IN the aftermath of the shambles that unfolded at the Etihad on Saturday, the positive vibe around Liverpool after a highly encouraging start to the season ground to a halt, replaced by swathes of criticism and inquests into the culprits behind the 5-0 drubbing. Much...
