ON February 21, 2015, Ken Meech, a 50-year-old sheet metal worker from Cleethorpes, travelled to London to attend the Barnet v Grimsby Town game. As a Mariners fan, Ken — along with the 968 other travelling Grimsby supporters — wasn’t going to miss this...
ALL eyes turn to Wednesday. All thoughts remain on Wednesday. No-one was at all arsed about that yesterday, where they? I mean, I thought we might get battered given the last time we played them Kloppo squared up to Pulis and allegedly threatened to eat his cap and...
JOHN GIBBONS is making Neil Atkinson talk to a Leicester City fan and there is nothing he can do about it. But even Neil is buzzing by the end of a chat with Pete Selby from For Fox Sake Podcast. Pete also works as a commentator at Leicester and so is ideally placed...

LOADS have done it — given up going the match. Temporarily or permanently, whether it’s the rise in ticket prices, the ‘match-day experience’ or just falling out of love with it all, the make up of the Anfield crowd has changed as long-term...
IT OCCURS to me that this is an example of a game where a match review might need to be that bit more of a match report. We have a non-televised game in the UK where around half of Liverpool’s travelling support have chosen to stay away in protest at ticket...
NEIL ATKINSON was joined by Gareth Roberts, Adam Smith and Jay McKenna on this week’s podcast after another deflating result for the Reds following a frustrating performance against Tony Pulis’ West Bromwich Albion. The lads also get into tomorrow’s...
