AFTER THE ARSENAL LEAGUE GAME Roy: Once upon a time there was a Liverpool side that skittled Tottenham 5-0 (going on 10-0) at White Hart Lane, obliterated a resurgent Everton 4-0 (going on 9-0) at home, and marmalised Arsenal 5-1 (going on 12-1), a side that led the...
By PAUL McCABE A LOT can quickly change in football. Nine years ago, Liverpool were on course for winning the Champions League. Five years ago it looked like the League was a possibility, and only four years ago the club flirted with extinction. Success, following...
IT’S one of my all-time favourite football clichés; classic manager-speak to polish the turd of cup failure. But, for once, the phrase ‘concentrate on the league’ really does mean something for Liverpool. Today’s FA Cup defeat means there are 12 games – six home, six...
WOULD you swap a win here for three in the league? Would you rest Suarez and Sturridge? It’s only the FA Cup… I want Liverpool to win everything. Every game. Every cup; from The Liverpool Senior Cup to The Champions League. I want silverware tied up in red and white,...

By MARCO LOPES IT’S a fascinating time to be a Liverpool fan. There are varying degrees of mini-tribalism that have seeped into the fanbase and their perspectives are sometimes divisive. Often emphatically so. There are those who distrust FSG. Some belittle Brendan...
By Craig Rimmer OKAY, so the above title may have been undermined somewhat by recent defeats away to Manchester City and Chelsea. But, on reflection those results have done little to alter the overall complexion. In fact, they may actually have gone some way toward...
THIS is not The Old Trafford Wrap. I appreciate that. Yes, I know there’s the ‘who is obsessed with who’ thing going on but this is a special case. It’s not often you get to write about United having a poor season so I’m grasping the nettle while it’s available. I...
DO we dare to dream now? It’s been a strange season so far. While Liverpool have been racking up results, briefly topping the table and maintaining a top four spot throughout, nagging doubts have remained about whether the attempt to finish in the Champions League...
