WHEN we go behind you’re thinking same old story. When we go ahead you’re thinking we can keep scoring. When we concede late to drop more precious points against lesser opposition you’re thinking what’s the point. Simon Mignolet: 6 Let down for...

THERE’S a video doing the rounds on the internet at the minute showing Lucas Leiva’s absolute joy when greeting Player Liaison Officer Ray Haughan shortly after full-time on Saturday. He’s by an absolute country mile the most enthusiastic of the Liverpool players who...

A FEW years ago I got married. Our reception was in The Florrie in Liverpool 8. It’s a wonderful old building that was reasonably recently restored to it’s rightful glory. It holds a special place in my heart not just for the memories I have there but also...

THE Reds are teasing us now. They’ve been toying with us all season, truth be told. First day of this campaign — the Emirates stadium. Oh look, there are Jürgen Klopp’s all new Redmen smashing title hopefuls Arsenal in the face in their own back...

LET’S face it, the ‘80s spoilt us. We all know this. Trophies by the bucket-load, legendary managers, players of character and consummate ability. We’ve all heard the stories; we’ve all sung the songs. We watched King Kenny play and we counted along as Ian Rush broke...
