WHATEVER the individual take on Tuesday’s team selection – and we had everything from bold and brave to stupid and silly – most agreed on one thing: It meant the intensity of focus on Brendan Rodgers would increase when Chelsea came to town. It was always likely to be...
THIS needs a power crawl. It’s a massive game for us and them and it needs a power crawl. Don’t know who decided that. Me or Graves. One of us. It involves getting in, and being in, the city from 11. Being there and touring it. Hitting it. Being one with...
NEIL ATKINSON was joined by Rob Gutmann, Peter Hooton and Jim Boardman as they look back on the midweek defeat to the European Champions and look towards a crunch clash against Mourinho’s Chelsea Download issue 13 of #TAWMAG via iTunes or at...

I START to write this under these two circumstances: a) not knowing if Gibbo is writing one b) in a taxi with Andy Heaton before the game We’ve just come out of Mercado de San Miguel. Have you been? You certainly should if you are ever in Madrid. It’s a...
SORRY about the delay. Am in Barmouth. Barmouth has a lot going for it. Fantastic, dramatic coastline. Arcades. Boozers. But it doesn’t have much signal. On days like today, this is both a good and bad thing. Good because I am excluded from the internet. Bad...
