THOSE lads celebrating the final whistle in front of an exultant Kop. Those lads — chests stuck out, saluting each others indefatigability. Those lads learning how to win together. I love those lads. Liverpool decided, as teams sometimes do, that they were going...
VERSATILITY can be a bit of a dirty word in football, especially in England. Multi functional players who can fill a variety of roles within a team are seldom elevated to hero status among fan bases or celebrated in the media. Take James Milner. He has played at full...
NEIL ATKINSON was joined by Paul Johnson, John Gibbons and Rob Gutmann on this week’s podcast after the worst Derby in living memory. The lads also talk Spurs with Paul Duhaney from Africa Oye. Like what we do? Buy us a pint! DIRECT LINK – The Nothing...
