THE well-worn script has been shoved down our throats so many times that you know the lines off by heart when it’s regurgitated for public consumption once again. Liverpool are finished. Liverpool are a relic. Liverpool are living in the past; a famous name but an...
AFTER a morning at the Liverpool Academy in Kirkby watching the Under-18s with Jürgen Klopp (well, ok, not WITH Jürgen Klopp) it was a short drive through the West Lancashire countryside to sunny Southport and the catchily-titled Merseyrail Community Stadium. I even...
INJURY-HIT Liverpool Ladies crashed out of the Continental Cup at the semi-final stage as two first-half goals from Ellen White sealed progress for Notts County. Liverpool’s bad luck with injuries has been relentless this season and Gemma Bonner, Martha Harris...
