IN your job, who digs you out of trouble? Who do you expect to pull things round when you make a mistake or everyone is having a bad day? Someone who maybe even just makes a cup of tea at an appropriate time. I hope you have that person in your work. I hope you have...
OUR man John Gibbons in the ground at half time. God, look at him. My days, walk around him. Resplendent in a Hat Scarf and Badge bobble hat. You should have seen him. John Gibbons half time: “You’ve got to do 100 words minimum on Joe Allen. What a first...
BATTLING Liverpool return from Stoke City and their ASDA price dugouts with bags of character and a precious 1-0 lead after the first leg of the League Cup semi-final. The victory was not without its cost, with both Philippe Coutinho and Dejan Lovren succumbing to...
LIVERPOOL fans everywhere came down with a bad case of the January blues on Saturday after another meek performance on the road in the Premier League at West Ham. Within 37 hours of 2016, Michail Antonio had raced 87 yards upfield to slam the ball into Simon...
