SUNDAY’S Capital One Cup final feels a bit of a weird one. A one-off showpiece occasion, with Liverpool slight underdogs against the financial might of moneybags Manchester City. And yet, it lacks the edge of a clash with more traditional rivals; the existence...
FOOTBALL is rich on million-dollar questions and here is another. Had Brendan Rodgers led Liverpool to the Premier League title in 2014, would he still be manager? Many treated Rodgers suspiciously from day one. Surely the goodwill generated would have ensued trust: a...
SO here we are again. Stuffy faceless blokes in suits wanting to rewrite the game we love with moves that seem to benefit the few and ignore the many. This talk of scrapping FA Cup replays, consigning cup weekends to the bin with rounds played midweek instead and...
LIVERPOOL go into tonight’s Europa League match with Augsburg with a proud record gainst German sides to protect. The Reds have played 36 matches against German opposition (including sides from the former East Germany), winning 17, drawing 12 and losing seven. Here...
I INTERVIEWED John Barnes for Goal.com to discuss being third on their list of the greatest 20 players to ever turn out for Liverpool. Typically, he wasn’t fussed over such an accolade and shared some brilliant insight into what made the club so special and what...

“I WERE looking at him all game and he were quite far off his line so as soon as Riyad’s played it through and it’s bounced quite high and I’ve got no support, I’ve just took me chance and luckily it’s gone over the top of...
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...
