IT was nearly a clean sweep for Liverpool in the men’s categories at the FIFA’s “The Best” Awards in Milan last night. For the main award, Virgil van Dijk was denied by Lionel Messi – which must have been an odd feeling for both as it was the other way round at...
WHEN is an unbeaten run not an unbeaten run? While Liverpool stand at 14 straight victories in the Premier League since the latter end of last season, the defeat in Naples brings with it a sense of a return to Earth. That’s by no means a bad thing. Two-nil flattered...
JÜRGEN Klopp wants to move on from winning the Champions League. It is wise counsel. Sustained success is difficult enough without dwelling on prior achievements, though it would admittedly be easier to do if it weren’t for the inevitable emotions stirred upon hearing...

I’M not sure where Jermaine Jenas has been for the past year. Joe Cole – on the other hand – I can hazard a guess at snazzy tailors which specializes in maroon-tinted suits, or maybe a gastro pub on the West End, telling people how “The Chels” ruled...
ONE of the best things about football is the way it produces the most unlikely of heroes. From Jerzy Dudek in Istanbul to Divock Origi in Madrid, it’s nigh on impossible to predict who will seize the glory. Sometimes the stories it conjures up are so...
The Champions of Europe are heading back to Istanbul to face Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup, but how up for the cup are we feeling? John Gibbons is joined by Gareth Roberts, Lizzi Doyle, Kev Walsh and Josh Sexton to preview Wednesday night’s game and guess what...
