WOKE up on Sunday morning after 600 pints of Guinness with 99 problems. The previous nights 600 Guinness being one of them and the subsequent brain demagogue playing the headache drums another. Prising open my eyes I stumble across a photo on Twitter of two auld...
HEADS are falling off. Not at a title challenge or anything that actually makes real sense. Oh no, we’re sat top of the league, scoring goals for fun and things look great but there’s a common thread that the world is ending and that Philippe Coutinho has already...
JÜRGEN KLOPP has given Liverpool gravitas, reach and respectability. In one fell swoop, his appointment as manager made the football world take notice. It was a statement that Liverpool meant business again — no longer a project and instead aiming to be a...

IT’S always a slog, the international break. Those barren two-week intervals depriving us of watching the Reds put their latest opponents to the sword. This one has been particularly grim. Following the apocalyptic outcome of the US general election, I find myself...
THERE has been no shortage of praise and admiration for the manner in which Liverpool have started the new season. Despite being unfancied by many outside Anfield at the start of the campaign, Jürgen’s Reds have laid waste to a potentially tricky start to find...
YET another international break and heightened irritation at not seeing the Mighty Reds light up our weekend. Of course, we’ve been here before – being the third occasion already this season – but in the wake of Liverpool’s dazzling, free-scoring shows since the last...
SO formidable are Liverpool’s front three in how they attack together with the vibrancy and verve shown this season that it could be regarded as unfair to highlight the importance of an individual, rather than eulogising over the trio as a collective. At the weekend...
