WORLD CUP 2014: MY SOUTH AMERICAN DREAM

WORLD CUP 2014: MY SOUTH AMERICAN DREAM

THROWAWAY remarks about future events that eventually come to pass. Well, threaten to come to pass. Odd things they are. You get a self-satisfied hum of contentment that you saw something before anyone else did, but usually for me it’s offset by a dull thud because I...

LOUIS VAN GAAL: A CAUTIONARY TALE

IRRITABLY, Manchester United fans have a renewed spring in their step this summer, writes JAMIE CASEY. While us Reds are dealing with the loss of our flawed genius, left wondering what will become of this flamboyant side without him, that lot are lauding the arrival...

LUIS SUAREZ: THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS

THE SUMMER OFF (WE GO AGAIN)

IT WASN’T always this way, but I enjoy the end of a season these days. Maybe it’s age or the effect of non-football life washing over me, but I’m glad of the rest. People often draw the analogy of your club being akin to a high-maintenance girlfriend...
