EIGHTY eight points. I whisper things the city sings them back to you. I am my age. I can’t argue with the facts on that one. I am my age. These lads have more points than anyone since 1988, at which point it was 90 points from 40 games. The 78-79 team were a...
LIVERPOOL beat Porto to get to the Champions League semi finals. They beat them 6-1 on aggregate. It is the fourth time in Liverpool’s history they have made back-to-back European Cup or Champions League semi finals. The fourth time. These are the good times,...
