NATASHA Dowie scored all four goals for Liverpool Ladies as the Reds booked their place in the Continental Cup semi-finals with an emphatic victory over Bristol Academy. Dowie had looked isolated during the 2-0 defeat to Manchester City midweek but led the line for...
YOU go to Old Trafford. You don’t play well. They don’t play well. They win. I think I’ve seen this film before. I’ve seen games decided by set pieces. I’ve seen blunt sides overwhelmed by the occasion. I’ve seen vaguely...
A REAL strange game. Where we create more but still look toothless. Where we are part unlucky but mostly clueless. Where things could have been much different, but you still wonder what the plan is. At both ends. Tough month for the manager ahead. Simon Mignolet 5...
THIS one. The one I stopped going to from 2002 til 2014. A decade and a bit in which we stormed the citadel four times (two Danny Murphys, the 4-1 one, and the 3-0 one). I went back for the first time for a league game there last December and we were flukily thrashed...

THIS takes me back to February 1986. I’m walking to the ground with my mate Chee on our way to watch Liverpool and Manchester United play out a 1-1 draw. It was the day of the gas attack thing, and it was all about to kick off in the Main Stand car park, but at the...
I READ with interest Richard Felton’s emotionally-charged piece on TAW yesterday about how he’d made the life-changing decision to eschew his love for Liverpool Football Club and instead follow non-league Marine. Such was Richard’s evident disillusionment with the...
THE photographer’s car keys lay hidden high on a ledge in a Melwood anteroom for most of the afternoon. I had long returned home when my mobile phone started buzzing. “Where are they, lad?” “What?” I asked. “The keys, you’ve done something with them haven’t you?” With...
