HIS face told the story before his words could; the frown lines deeper than usual, the eyes heavy and wrestling weariness, writes MELISSA REDDY. Steven Gerrard is clothed in anxiety ahead of his Anfield farewell, and the threads are incredible weighty. He tries his...
IT’S going to be a long summer. Hell hath no fury like a Liverpool fan scorned. Hell hath no fury like a Liverpool fan yet to be scorned, but expecting to be scorned. At times hell even hath no fury like a Liverpool fan faced with the rumoured arrival of a James...
MANY of you will not like this, writes MELISSA REDDY. Some will scoff and spit at it. Quite a few won’t even finish reading it. These words won’t be fashionable, but they’re required at a stage when the vitriol coursing through popular opinion is continuously more...

THE breath drawn to blow the final whistle had barely been exhaled when it began: a cyberspace rubbing of hands. A virtual crack of the fingers. The post-match interview was awaited by some with the glee reserved for Christmas Day unwrapping. Time to dig at the...
PROMISING enough stuff from the Reds, albeit it in a type of game that is hard to take too much from. Plenty of lads showed they belonged at that level. A few didn’t. But we knew that already. Anyway. Numbers and words. Simon Mignolet 7 Has the mad punch,...
