IF Liverpool fail to qualify for the Champions League, it won’t be the defence that’s to blame. It’s commonly accepted that Liverpool are electric going forward and porous at the back, a Kevin Keegan-esque Newcastle reincarnate, intimidating on the front foot but...

WHEN it comes to stealing a living, few people pull it off as well as certain football pundits. I’m not talking about the ones who make predictions about particular football matches that end up going spectacularly wrong — that can happen to the best of us. I’m...

FRIDAY night I drove to Nottingham with The Shipbuilders. It was fun but I couldn’t drink and it was a late one because Nottingham is always slightly further than you think. I also woke up on Saturday earlier than I wanted to and couldn’t get back to sleep...

PAUL. Konchesky. Did he really play for Liverpool? Seriously? How did he ever get to wear the red shirt? A man who somehow manages to make it into everyone’s worst ever Liverpool team. It’s his birthday today, so it only seems fitting to provide some horrible...

“WE’RE the best behaved supporters in the land (when we win),” goes the chant. “We’re a right shower of bastards when we lose,” it adds. Perhaps it’s time for amendment to that last line in 2017. Because that’s been an accurate description of much of the...
