THE eve of Liverpool’s Champions League semi final second leg in Rome. It was all action in Rome yesterday. Post breakfast, a few of us made our way to a small off licence just outside Campo de Fiori where we would be speaking to a couple of Roma fans about their...
AS a child, I was a big fan of the Asterix books; a series of French comics about a village of Gauls that continually keeps the invading Romans at bay. It’s all a lot more light hearted than it sounds. Asterix and his friends would take a magic potion brewed by their...
LIVERPOOL’S performance against Roma on Tuesday night is one to be enjoyed, writes HARRY HAWTHORNE. To shun the prospect of savouring such a result, achieved in such a way, could be construed as lunacy. As fans, it’s what you love the game for. It’s why you accept the...

FIFTY-six minutes in at the Etihad and Mo Salah is the coolest person in the ground. The away end had barely finished appealing for a penalty to be given for a foul on Sadio Mane when the Egyptian king deftly lifted the ball over a collapsing Nicolas Otamendi, to put...
WHAT a strange week of football that was. Manchester United beating Manchester City with a second-half turnaround, Roma coming back from 4-1 down to beat Barcelona, Juventus nearly doing similar to Real Madrid, Red Bull Salzburg coming from 5-2 down on aggregate with...
