ANOTHER nervy finish but another Liverpool win. I’m not sure we want to become 1-0 specialists. I’m not sure it suits our abilities or my stress levels. But you’ll take it for now. Liverpool actually should have had much more. We’re getting...
TO WHOM it may concern. (To some it may not): Went the loo on the final whistle. Went the loo on the final whistle because I appear to be suddenly attempting to drink all the beer. All of the beer. Went the loo on the final whistle and crossed Steve Graves the other...
IT was 1998. They had torn down the century-old Roker Park and built a shiny new arena for the townsfolk of Sunderland. The desecration and rebuild was one of the first of a wave that became a tsunami as Victorian stadium after Edwardian football ground was razed to...
