I’M a cynic by nature. People ask if I am really an old man. But it’s just a natural curiosity about things — wondering why someone might be doing something, asking questions why. I have been like this about going the match and about Liverpool FC in the past. My...

AND the rain will come down. We’re going to Leicester. We will drive into the wet and windy night for the Reds. It is all about Leicester. And we won’t get home ’til tomorrow. And we are doing it all for Leicester. Not for City. For what the Reds must do. The...

WEST Ham United come to Anfield and it all feels very 2001 all of a sudden. I was 20 years old on January 21, 2001 and on January 27, 2001 I was a wreck. Liverpool kicked off against Leeds United at 12 noon and I had been out in Leeds the night before, got lost, fell...

ANOTHER Wembley date for the Reds! Jürgen Klopp could barely watch Tuesday’s victory on penalties over Stoke that sets up an intriguing clash with Manchester City. In his post-match interview he dismissed winning in the shoot-out as “just luck” but a trawl through our...

LIVERPOOL’S defending often still feels like getting someone else’s sick on your shoes during a wild night out. Liverpool’s attack often still stumbles like they’ve downed a stream of Jägerbombs on a wild night out. Liverpool’s midfield often still feels...
