THERE GOES THE FEAR AGAIN

THERE GOES THE FEAR AGAIN

IT’S the music. It’s all about the music. Superstitions are all well and good, and I have my fair share of them, but when push comes to shove are we really going to miss out on the title if the regular chippy is shut? Are we really going to miss out on the title...

WEST HAM UNITED 1 LIVERPOOL 2

THE gauntlet. I love the word “gauntlet”. I guess 2 perfect weekends in a row was too much to ask. Gauntlet thrown down. Tomorrow the response. — Craig Rimmer (@Craig_Rimmer) April 5, 2014 West Ham United felt like a gauntlet. Won six from the last...

SPURRED ON BY THE DOUBTERS

SPURRED ON BY THE DOUBTERS

SHERWOOD wasn’t the only one. We bristled with indignation at the very suggestion. Asked who he was, with his comedy cob ons and misplaced arrogance, to question Liverpool’s title credentials. Brendan Rodgers spoke publicly to turn the tables back on a club that had...

Liverpool 4 Tottenham Hotspur 0
