IS there a danger, however small, that we may be becoming spoiled watching this incessant winning machine week in, week out? It was a question some dared to air over a post-match pint on Saturday afternoon. In Sheffield, the travelling support from Liverpool wasn’t at...
WINNING while playing poorly. Sign of champions, they say. There is a rush to say it from them, on both counts. Any tight frustrating victory which doesn’t purr becomes poor, especially when you are a 97-point and six-from-six outfit. And there is such a long...
WHEN the EFL Cup third-round tie between MK Dons and Liverpool began last night in the Stadium MK, it didn’t take long for the song book to open. Yet despite all the things you would expect from the tie — a feverish home crowd who are hounding their Goliath opponent...
THERE’S a certain bias towards Scousers playing for Liverpool and, I’m bound to say, I’m all for it. We can point at Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Terry McDermott, Ian Callaghan, Jimmy Case, Tommy Smith, David Fairclough, Sammy Lee and now Trent Alexander-Arnold as...

“FOOTBALL is fantastic when it’s a morning match…” (Frank Sidebottom, “Football Is Really Fantastic” – 1983) I’ve quoted the late great Chris Sievey (aka Frank Sidebottom) before for this column. I love Chris/Frank, a man out of and ahead of his time, but he’s...
