THIS is the greatest day of our lives. There will be analysis and there will be chat, and there will be talk. But this is the greatest day of our lives. There is a piece. It is the only piece I have written in advance. I wrote it three years ago. The piece is 800...
GETTING beat is rubbish. Yes it is. The fact is that Liverpool are a good team. No wait, a great team. But still, even a great team gets beat. From back to front there is effort. As discussed after the match, the goalkeeper is probably the man of the match. The...
IT’S a small away end at Watford. I wish you could have been there with us, I wish it with all my heart. But that wasn’t always the case. Surround me with songs of deliverance, oh lord. You know, it was purgatory at the break. While Liverpool had finished...
ANDY Robertson. Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy Robertson. What a performance from the Liverpool left back, one man who is the very best of us. He does this thing second half when Liverpool are 2-0 up, when he is firmly man of the match, when he has set up Xherdan Shaqiri for...

MO SALAH scores. Gambles and scores. Cardiff City have thrown their bodies on the line, done everything they can to stop the goal and yet the ball is in the back of the net, Anfield is in raptures, Cardiff in shreds and there isn’t yet 10 minutes on the clock....
YOU say you’ve got to go home. It is always someone’s first game. Always someone’s first time. This is important to remember when you rock up to Anfield giving few fucks, striding through the gloaming as the nights draw in. Remember this is...
LIVERPOOL answered a few questions and raised a few new ones at the John Smith’s stadium. Jürgen Klopp was the manager who rotated the most last season in the Premier League, but we haven’t seen anywhere near as much of that this campaign. That all changed...
NINETY minutes of sheer hell, John Barnes said years ago. The words echoed through today. Liverpool 0 Manchester City 0. Unbelievable we pay good money to be made to feel like that. If it wasn’t hell it was purgatory. The prospect of losing loomed large, the...
