STEVEN GERRARD: STEVIE G v STEVIE ME

STEVEN GERRARD: STEVIE G v STEVIE ME

I’VE let the dust settle a bit. There have been hundreds of articles, quite understandably so, lamenting the forthcoming departure of Steven Gerrard for the sunnier climes of Los Angeles. The “Hollywood balls” are going home. The “quarterback” is jetting off to...

THE RIDER – HANDSOME MEN

NEIL ATKINSON, John Gibbons, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia all get round a New Year Campfire and play ten songs. They’ve had to work hard for them but you will not be disappointed. Also – a Denmark digest, Diane Keaton and D’Angelo. Happy New...

LIVERPOOL: HOW REALISTIC IS A TOP FOUR FINISH?

HAVING high expectations is important for a big club — but unrealistic expectations can be destructive for everyone, writes MIKE KENNEDY. They create unhappy fans, affect players’ confidence and managers get sacked for not meeting them. I don’t want that...

LIVERPOOL: THE MIGNOLET EXPERIMENT

STEVEN GERRARD: THE PRICE OF LOVE

STEVEN GERRARD: THE PRICE OF LOVE

STEVE Gerrard Gerrard. So good we named him twice. Like all good things him and us is coming to an end but does it really have to be so soon? On the surface, at face value, perhaps, yes, the time is right. He is nearly 35 and his star is clearly no longer in the...
AFC WIMBLEDON v LIVERPOOL: THE FA CUP GHOSTS OF 1988

AFC WIMBLEDON v LIVERPOOL: THE FA CUP GHOSTS OF 1988

I KNOW that, technically, it’s a different club. I know that, technically, the Wimbledon of Fashanu and Jones, of prototype geezerdom and unbridled thuggery, came to a messy end in 2004 when it relocated to the exotic climes of Milton Keynes and became known as MK...

STEVEN GERRARD: REPLACING A LEGEND

REPLACING Steven Gerrard. I love this title. Gareth Roberts gave it to me. This was the sentence: Can Liverpool replace him – do they need to, should they try, should they break the bank or stick with current spending policy etc. I love this because, firstly,...
