I *LOVE* Rafa Benitez. I love the bones of him. I’m willing to bet I’m in the top one percent of worldwide Rafa lovers. There are basically his kids, Montse and Antonio Nunez that I’m prepared to acknowledge might be ahead of me. It’s important...
THE bickering is back. The Liverpool fanbase truly divided once again. Bizarre accusations of ‘agendas’ have remerged and everyone is wondering what happens next at Anfield. Questions, questions, questions. Emergency meetings are said to have taken place behind...
SOME years ago I was living in London and I started dating this girl I’d met at work. We hit it off immediately and as the months went by we saw more and more of each other. At some point we figured it made sense to move in with each other. For starters I was staying...
YOU have to be sure. It’s no small thing taking away the Liverpool job, so you have to be sure. I feel like Henry Fonda in Twelve Angry Men, writes PAUL LITTLE. It has to be beyond reasonable doubt for me – or at least that’s how I always feel when it comes to...

LAST week I wrote about the excitement and anticipation of an FA Cup semi-final. While there were traditional nerves, I don’t think any of us envisaged such an insipid Liverpool performance; an absolute dog of show. I’ve had a funny feeling for a while — based...
ACCORDING to reports, Brendan Rodgers has been sent for. As a fan of Al Pacino, this reminds me of the film Donnie Brasco. If you haven’t seen it, and don’t understand the term in that context, a potted history is coming. If you have or are aware of Mafioso lexicon,...
YOU might think this is knee jerk, an overreaction in the wake of a disappointing FA Cup semi-final defeat. All I can do is assure you that I’d planned to write the exact same thing if Liverpool hadn’t stunk out Wembley against Aston Villa on Sunday. So here...
LIVERPOOL’S shambolic sacrifice of a silverware opportunity to a side still threatened by relegation was always going to spark a fresh debate about the future of Brendan Rodgers as manager, particularly with a potential top-class replacement in the shape of Jurgen...
