THIS 2013/14 variation of Liverpool FC seems to have attained the power of humour most surreal. In the days following the wins against Arsenal and Swansea, whenever the manner of those victories flashed across my mind – even upon beautifully random occasions...
TO be honest, I still haven’t got over Stoke away. Stoke was the season. It was 0-0s and defeats only prior to the current insanity. Stoke is Jon Walters, long throw-ins, getting smacked all over the park, always cold and that nervous walk back to the car across...
NEIL Atkinson was joined in the studio by Rob Gutmann, Sean Rogers and James Sutton as they revel in the afterglow of the brilliant 3-0 win at St Mary’s, and yet another step towards the League title. Get issue 7 of TAW’s monthly digital mag free...
BROCKLE (Neil’s girlfriend – Ed): “Your articles are horrible.” People seem to like them. Came as a surprise to me, actually. “Sentences without subjects. Subject. Verb. Object. That’s how the English language works.” It’s malleable. And it’s fascinating to make...

THIRTY one years after The Pale Fountains released their debut single Something On My Mind – and seven since the last Shack album, The Corner of Miles and Gil – Mick Head is back: gigging, releasing an EP and planning an album with The Red Elastic Band. Telling the...
IT might be the dullest smartarse pub quiz question in the world. Which professional club’s ground is closest to the Mersey? Astonish your friends by revealing it’s Stockport County. Then look deep in their eyes and realise how little they can stand you. But Edgeley...
