ON the opening day of the Premier League football season, three quarters of the pitch at Goodison Park was bathed in sunshine while the remainder rested in shade, such is brooding presence of the Main Stand. I was on duty for The Sunday Telegraph, covering the game...
LET’S talk about strikers — goalscorers to be precise. The players that make the difficult seem unerringly easy. The ones that generally tend to finish off their dinner. They’re the elusive ones, out there for personal gain above all others. And why...
I’M not a fan who obsesses over what ex-Liverpool players and managers are up to. The Liverpool manager in the dug out is the most important person for me and, to quote the gentleman Steve Graves, “my favourites are the 11 lads playing for...
FONDLY remembered as one of the toughest players to wear the red of Liverpool, Jimmy Case won four league titles, three European Cups, a UEFA Cup and a League Cup in his 269-game Anfield career. Bought from South Liverpool for just £500, the midfielder from Allerton,...

AFTER recording yesterday’s episode of The Coach Home, I had a chat with big Blue Dave Downie about Everton’s League Cup tie against Middlesbrough tonight. He was desperate to get up there, but couldn’t find a ticket for love nor money. The...
JÜRGEN Klopp revealed this week that he has met Brendan Rodgers since taking the Liverpool job. I can’t help but wonder what Rodgers makes of everything that has happened since he was sacked following the draw at Everton in October. In recent weeks, Klopp has...
BY now it’s a correlation you can’t fail to have been exposed to. Teams regularly playing Thursday-Sunday matches suffer results-wise. With debates raging about how seriously Liverpool should take the Europa League — and how strong the sides should...
