ROBBO’s article for Mirror Football caused quite the stir yesterday. Apparently suggesting that a football team should sacrifice the battle for sixth place in a bid to win a cup is quite controversial. Someone even tweeted him telling him to hang himself. Have a...
AND the rain will come down. We’re going to Leicester. We will drive into the wet and windy night for the Reds. It is all about Leicester. And we won’t get home ’til tomorrow. And we are doing it all for Leicester. Not for City. For what the Reds must do. The...
I WAS going to write about the January transfer window this week, but as Monday rolled into Tuesday, I became progressively more underwhelmed by the prospect. Let’s face it — it’s all a bit boring and nothing much happens. Then Wednesday night and the thriller...
THERE has been lots of talk this week of the dilemma facing Jürgen Klopp as Liverpool prepare to face Exeter City in the FA Cup third round tonight. The manager is in an almost impossible position with a squad down to the most calcium-deficient of bare bones. Amid a...

I WAS told by my lecturer when studying journalism in Sheffield that it is inappropriate to start any article with a question, but the theme of the unfathomable will run here and I’m not in the mood for travelling around the houses to cross the road. So, is it safe to...
CHELSEA supporters love Jose Mourinho. They love the absolute bones of him. They will sing his name on Saturday at their game. They will say things on social media that will be mocked because they are deemed over the top or too emotional. They will be angry with their...
“NOW I know what everybody is talking about.” You can interpret Jürgen Klopp’s quip post six goals at Southampton in two ways. The first is the realisation that statistically the finest goals-to-game finisher in Liverpool Football Club’s history of competing in the...
