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...

FANS who believe in the transfer committee versus Brendan Rodgers recruitment schism tend to use that narrative as yet more evidence of Rodgers’ failures, especially when it comes to judging a player, writes PAUL LITTLE. But if you are of that mind, could I suggest...
SECOND-HALF strikes from Dominique Janssen and Jordan Nobbs saw Liverpool Ladies slip to a 2-0 home defeat with Arsenal also missing a first-half penalty. After playing a rotated side against Manchester City last weekend, and losing Becky Easton to a broken arm, there...
THE transfer window’s closed then, a crazy period of time when Premier League clubs buying a dozen players and selling a dozen more to try to magically improve results becomes an accepted norm. What has also seemingly become accepted, by the league at least, is...
