THIS Sunday the players of Liverpool Football Club will form a guard of honour to herald the arrival of the new English Champions. Whether we like it or not Chelsea are the victors and should be lauded as such. Not by us, you understand, but by the club. In the true...
IT’S been one mother fucker of a season. Horrible really. Apart from the long sustained good bit in the middle. We’ll finish fifth. Triffic. Do you want to know what makes it such a disaster ? I ask because, taking last season out, Liverpool FC’s average...
FOOTBALL minus supporters is nothing so let’s begin with one, writes SIMON HUGHES. I bumped into an old friend last week — an Evertonian. He’s been a season ticket holder for as long as I’ve known him. That’s roughly a quarter of a century....
WELL there you go. We’ve done it again. We talked about this on The Anfield Wrap Unwrapped (TAW player, fiver a month, it’s quality, give it a go if you haven’t already); Tony Barrett had said that the negotiations with Memphis Depay had stalled a week ago. No...

COUTINHO swings it in and he rises resplendent, red resplendent, and he nods it across goal and it is there, it is there, and we are there and I surge forward and fall backwards and I am seven and I am just in awe of this hero; of this man who has gone and done the...
A deserved win eventually, admittedly against a poor side. Should keep the planes away for a few more games anyway. Numbers and words. Simon Mignolet: 6 Can he do more with the goal? Probably sees it late. Shouting more, which is good Glen Johnson: 5 He’s...
CAN you imagine the conversation? Because I can’t. “Alright lads, yeah, what we’ll do is all chip in and get an aeroplane to fly over Anfield with a banner on the back saying ‘Rodgers out Rafa in’.” In any group of Liverpool fans I...
