BIG seasons, league championship seasons are built on consistency first and foremost. Scattered through them there are defining moments that are looked back on time and again. Moments in time where your watch seems to stop and the actual consequences and gravity of...
IN April 1990, Liverpool beat QPR 2-1 at Anfield. A John Barnes penalty won the game and, by extension, the league with two games to go to finally see off the threat of – yes – Aston Villa. All wrapped up to the extent that Kenny brought himself off the bench for the...
EVERY so often, in different walks of life, an individual comes round who turns out to define a generation. In football, a player might go down as one of the all-time greats to play the sport. Steven Gerrard is certainly one of those figures, yet his is a legacy which...
ANFIELD hosted an international Rugby League match on Sunday between Australia and New Zealand. The Aussies won the game 34-8. While the action unfolded, anyone legally old enough among the 40,042 crowd could sip from a beer while sitting in their seat if they so...

JÜRGEN KLOPP has given Liverpool gravitas, reach and respectability. In one fell swoop, his appointment as manager made the football world take notice. It was a statement that Liverpool meant business again — no longer a project and instead aiming to be a...
IT exists to win trophies. A bastion of invincibility, the league its bread and butter. A holy trinity made up of the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors? They don’t come into it. We’re part of a family. People who can hold our heads up high and say,...
IT’S been just over two years since a servile Anfield blew kisses at the visiting Real Madrid before proceeding to roll over and have their belly tickled as Liverpool played grateful host to their regal guests. Madrid left a tepid L4 that night three goals to...
