A TYPICAL Friday which began – as always – with tea and chocolate biscuits. They must be opened by the same people each week and the gaffer has first go and his packet must have two chocolate sides together like a sandwich. It is just part of the amazing...
IT’S the easiest thing in the world, accusing players or a team of not trying. It appeals to our basic mindset as humans. It’s not going well? Run harder. There is plenty of debate about how much Liverpool tried — or indeed should have tried —...
LAST week, when we decided to do player ratings, John said: “Do you want to do Besiktas at home as the first one?” And I said “Well, as you’ll do most of them, you do the first one and set the tone. So hang on for Southampton.” The tone he set was dead funny....
