MANCHESTER. A town centre so big that whenever you go out there you get a cob on because you forgot to pack Kendal mint cake and a compass just to get from pub to pub. What’s with all the chop houses, Manchester? What the bleeding hell is a chop house anyway?...

THIS Liverpool side has to work harder than any I can remember to score a goal. The stint it has to put in just to see the ball go over the line is ridiculous. When did we get the last cheap one? Firmino scored a belter against Arsenal. It’s either unbelievable...

FOOTBALL is always just about to prove you wrong. This is the most important thing it can do. Picture the scene: Rob Gutmann: I’d do Allen for Can here. Neil Atkinson: Nah. Rob Gutmann: This is a bit of a role reversal. Neil Atkinson: I just think Emre Can is...

WASN’T expecting that! Liverpool came out of the blocks with some sublime attacking play and took the game to the rightful league leaders. But we really should have been able to cope a bit better with what they had to throw back in return, regardless of the...
