BLANK was the greatest manager blank never had. Go on, ask someone to fill ’em in, writes ROBBIE DEIGHAN. Invariably, the blanks will be filled with Brian Clough and England. After all, it is surely the most famous footballing marriage never to be consummated....
ON this day in 1991 Liverpool chalked up their most emphatic away win for almost a century as they won 7-1 at The Baseball Ground against Derby County. Peter Shilton was in the County goal but could do nothing to match the rampant Reds as Jan Molby from the spot, John...
THE last article I wrote for this illustrious website was a critique of Joe Allen and my concerns that he wasn’t pulling what little weight he has. Since then he’s been simply immense, which I like to think is entirely down to me and my motivational words...
THE last few weeks have been brilliant haven’t they? Not only have the Reds been great and look to be getting somewhere back towards where we all want to be, the football’s also been flying in thick and fast. You’re walking out the ground, or sat in the pub and you’re...

EIGHT Liverpool players that started in the 3-2 win over Spurs were aged 25 and under. Five of them were under 22. Remarkable numbers in a sport where trust is traditionally placed in experience for high-pressure games such as the one Anfield witnessed on Tuesday...
ON June 2 2014, Rickie Lambert lived every Liverpool fan’s dream. He appeared close to excitement, potentially leading to spontaneous combustion, while signing a contract to play for the Reds. Exactly eight months later, Lambert received word from the club that...
