THE piece I had in mind if we won was much better if I’m honest. It was half about settling scores, half about The Anfield Wrap going to karaoke and singing Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. It had everything. Atkinson as a flirtatious Juliet, Gibbo as a love...

WITH Liverpool taking on Crystal Palace at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday, The Anfield Wrap’s GLENN PRICE spoke to Eagles legend GEOFF THOMAS, who experienced both the low of the 9-0 drubbing at the hands of the Reds in 1989, and the revenge in the FA...
