WOH! WE’RE GOING TO JAKARTA The players have left on their holidays, sorry very important pre-season tour. Indonesia first. Australia next. Where they will join The Anfield Wrap on our holidays, sorry very hard and important work trip abroad. I’m excited....

TAW’s And What? – 16/07/2013

THE Liverpool squad (minus Daniel Sturridge. And someone else who I’ll get round to later) for the tour to Indonesia has been announced. We’ve had Luis Alberto and Simon Mignolet posing with Indonesian flags (although you’d be forgiven for thinking...

Karl Coppack: Ways To Be A Person

In February 1987 Liverpool played an everyday bog standard home game with Southampton.  As with many Liverpool/Soton games it didn’t have much to recommend it. Peter Shilton was in goal so the game was automatically relegated to an undercard as the Kop preferred...

TODAY I’ve come over all Walter Smith (please don’t transpose any of the words in that sentence). The great Everton manager apparently had a Damascene moment after a few too many goes on Championship Manager, deciding the legendary Ibrahima Bakayoko...

FIXTURES. They’ve moved the fixtures for the television.  And it’s gone alright, I’d say. One absolute stinker  Will somebody just bowl Agar out? This is utterly – Which is Swansea away on a Monday night, but possibly early enough in the year to make a weekend of it...

LUIS LUIS, OH BABY, YOU GOTTA GO? SO Suarez has been on the radio again. They must love him in the Uruguayan press. Every time he goes back he is available for a chat at all times. His commitment to journalism in his home country is outstanding. But what about his...

The Quiet Armenian

I’VE learnt how to pronounce his name. I know how he scores his goals. I could work as the facial recognition guy for the CIA when grainy half arsed photos of him are proffered dubiously forth on social media. I know what his sister’s job is. I know how he has...

TAW’s And What? 03/07/2013

DID you read And What? yesterday – it was boss. If not, have a mooch. The thing with Gibbo is, he cracks on – just does it. Me, I’m worried. I’m here thinking you’re thinking, ‘What’s all this about then?’.  So...
