REMEMBER the dress that took over social media a few months ago and made you question yourself? The one that you swore was blue and black while your mates told you it was white and gold and no matter how hard you looked the colours wouldn’t change? That’s how I feel...
QUICKLY, declarations of interest: 1. I’m hosting the launch of the book with Simon and Jamie Carragher. 2. I consider Simon to be a friend. After reading Men In White Suits I worry about the second declaration of interest. Simon’s inherent relaxed, open...
LIVERPOOL have played great teams many times, writes PETER FURMEDGE. Quite a few times we have been behind illustrious opponents in terms of what we can put on the pitch. Sometimes quite a distance behind. What always prevailed, something that brought grudging...
Dear John W Henry and FSG, I’m writing to express my sadness at the announcement of 2015-16 season ticket prices, and in particular the absence of any concession for 17-21 olds. My son, Sam, turned 17 in December last year and is now being asked to pay £725...
IT wasn’t the best Liverpool performance you’ve ever seen. No DVDs will be burned and few will seek out the ‘highlights’ today. There were 7,000 souls in Blackburn, Lancashire, but it wasn’t the best support from those congregated in the Darwen End either. There was...

WE’RE going to Wembley. Whether we like it or not. I’d rather play at Villa Park, even Old Trafford, but anyway. They don’t involve me in these decisions. Reminder: a 5 is alright. The Reds Are Gnarling Up The Hill Boys. SIMON MIGNOLET: 9 That save...
ORGANISED horse racing in the UK predates professional football by more than 100 years and the Grand National, first run officially at Aintree in 1839 and won by an aptly named beast, “Lottery” is the most world-renowned race on the calendar. It seems odd that the...
IT does rather feel like it’s just the FA Cup left for Liverpool now, making tonight’s quarter final replay a massive game for the club. Many will argue that we shouldn’t be needing to play a replay at all. Surely we should be beating Blackburn (and...
HUMANS are a funny bunch. By nature, we tend to expect the worst. The train will be late or cancelled, that girl/boy we fancy won’t like us back, and they will never replace that boring tosser on The One Show with Gordon the Gopher. The glass is invariably ¼ empty. We...
