LIKE a lot of people, I’ve been enjoying the new Planet Earth series on BBC One. If I feel half as relieved when Liverpool win the league as I did when that little lizard made it away from those snake bastards the other week then I’ll be surprised. It’s made me...
THERE is a select group of Reds players past and present that have managed to score on their first appearance for the club. Titi Camara is one of the more memorable of recent times and as it’s his birthday today, we thought we’d celebrate by looking at 12...
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...

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...
