I’VE been thinking about social media a lot recently. Or, to be more specific, about Twitter. I’m a big Twitter fan. It took me a while to get into it, not understanding what it was about at first. But now I’m on it all the time. In so many ways it’s a brilliant way...
JAMIE BRAIDWOOD JORDAN Henderson had a hard act to follow when he was appointed Liverpool captain. Not only did he have to take over from perhaps Liverpool’s greatest ever player, and indeed captain, but by joining the long list of legends who had led the club,...
The epic continues. Neil Atkinson and Mike Nevin are joined by Paul Johnson and Steve Graves to talk about Liverpool’s winter of discontent which ultimately results in one of Liverpool’s finest European away performances in the South of France. From Bolton...

I WAS travelling up to Liverpool on Monday afternoon and remembered I had to write a piece for Wednesday. So I made some notes of things I could talk about, broadly surrounding that match. Unfortunately for me, Jose Mourinho basically created a situation whereby there...
IT was inevitable really, wasn’t it? How many times have Sky Sports built up to a big game by labelling it the most important human occurrence since the Renaissance, or Anthony Joshua’s last fight, only for it to peter out into a damp squib? ‘Red Monday’ was dull. It...
MONDAY night’s are no time for football. I spent the weekend decorating. Decorating! And people ask why I watch so much football. If that’s the alternative I’ll swap a scraper for a rattle and go to the match until I’m 100. It does liven up the...
IT’S the day after an anti-climatic end to 17 days of highly-anticipated build-up to the visit of Manchester United to Anfield, as the Reds had to settle for a goalless draw. Jürgen Klopp would have left the least happy of the two managers, as Jose Mourinho clearly...
