LIVERPOOL should not sell Raheem Sterling this summer. I don’t care whether Manchester City or anyone else bids upwards of £40million over the coming months, the club should not let the player leave Anfield under any circumstances. As a fan I don’t want money in the...
YOU know the story. It’s 1984. It’s the European Cup final. A fearless Liverpool side led by Graeme Souness belts out the Chris Rea song that had become their anthem in the faces of the Roma team they were about to take on in their own backyard. And that’s how the...
MOST conversations between footie fans end up boiling down to the same thing: the aspiration, the reality and the unexplained gap that lies in between. What fills that gap — the knowledge of what really happens behind walls, in boardrooms, on training pitches,...
