THERE is a game of football on this weekend. You may have heard. But the city of Liverpool beats on and there is plenty going on to distract nerves on Friday or help you celebrate Saturday (and into Sunday) if you find yourself about this wonderful city. Our gig of...
STEVEN Gerrard has scored 10 goals for Liverpool against Everton, second only to Ian Rush with 135. He’s also scored five and assisted two in the last six derbies, which should be taken into account when discussing whether he is better starting in the team or on...
