BY now I’m sure you’ve read Neil Atkinson’s terrific piece on midfield maestro and genuine Welshman Joe Allen. In it, Neil mentions that Allen divides opinion, and in the interest of backing that up, here’s the other side. If you are a...
EVERYBODY talks about 1988. They’re right to. It was a joyous time to be a Red. The double was still in the memory and we made two enormous signings the previous summer to go alongside John Aldridge and the curious Irish-Scottish crossbreed of Ray Houghton, who...
NEIL ATKINSON, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia are late, are late, for a very important date. They are also in possession of ten great songs and the sort of cauliflower chat you never saw coming. What else? Well it’s hard for us to remember, but trust me, we...

WALKING around the ground in the teeming rain, the absolute teeming fucking rain, after the game there was this enormous buzz of the Red support leaving the ground, songs echoing around, smiles wide. The Reds are coming up the hill, clambering up, dust smeared faces,...
IT’S a debate that has been going on for years. How do we reclaim The Kop? How do we bring back the famous atmosphere that made Anfield different, that made it special and so revered? It’s a debate that needs to be had. Yet it’s a debate that always...
