I HAD promised myself the summer off. No football, no Under 21s, no Women’s World Cup, no transfer rumours. Nothing. But then I read Paul Little’s piece about the reality of supporting Liverpool FC and I felt the need to reply. Firstly, it’s a gutsy piece. It’s not...

MY name is Paul Little. I am a Liverpool fan and I stopped believing some time ago that the club will win the league. In fact, I don’t even expect a top-four finish anymore. Despite these admissions, I still think FSG — and the now under attack FFP rules —...

ON Sunday, May 24, Liverpool lost 6-1 to Stoke City. Remember that day? Shortly before that, on the 16th of May, they’d lost 3-1 to Crystal Palace at home. Both games had represented ‘lasts’ for Steven Gerrard, beyond the procession of ‘last...

SO it seems Liverpool Football Club have a new assistant manager — and it wasn’t who anyone was expecting. Rumours, and a fair degree of hope, were suggesting a LFC legend would soon be gracing the dugout, or at least that a renowned assistant coach in football...

“WE want them to be the decision-makers, we want them to understand their role in the team. Suddenly they’re thinking players. I’m under no illusions that I have to win matches but for me the best way to do that is to have a team that is flexible, made of...

“CITY is a massive club”, was the cry from Mancunians of the blue persuasion, years before Emirates riches were ploughed into the somewhat soulless surrounds of Eastlands, the new council-owned home of Manchester’s hitherto poor relations. The claim — made...
