FAVOURITE moment from Saturday? For many of the 3,000 lucky enough to be there, it would have been this one. Martin Skrtel, having just slid on his knees towards the away fans, holds his arms aloft in front of the delirious crowd joined by team-mates so keen to join...
IT’S back again. The exuberance by virtue of another win. The restoration of hope, over-optimism and delusion. The revitalisation brought by a new manager who pleads with his players to have fun, and to have fun winning. And I’m having fun. Still smiling through...
WHAT a day. What a glorious day. A day that’s left husks of Liverpool fans wearily smiling in work today after celebrating the unlikely to the max ever since. Well that’s the scene in our office anyway. As anyone who listened to Friday’s show on CityTalk can attest, I...
THE best nights are the unexpected ones. This is what you are in it for. Turn up at the best team in the country after getting beat at home last time out, and absolutely whallop them. Joe Hart their best player and we still score four. Show them the way to go home....
