SO it’s happening then. I’ve spent most of the morning like Michael Scott in The Office US, pacing round my house telling myself to “stay fucking calm”. After spending what has felt like the best part of eight years, though it has actually been the shortest...
“PREDICTION is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.” This quote from Danish physicist Niels Bohr feels particularly pertinent at this time of year (I know that’s a bit highbrow but don’t worry, there’ll be a smutty joke along in a...
THERE is an episode of Frasier replaying in my head. It’s the final episode of season one, 24 episodes in (a quite ridiculous achievement really considering they maintained that pace over 11 series). Mispronounced, cliched English accents and Kelsey Grammer’s...
WELCOME to the 2020-21 season. Furthermore, welcome to the Champions of England. In the same way I never grew tired of referring to the lads in red as the European Champions last year, I’ll be adopting a similar moniker, albeit more domestic, for the following...

IT’S fair to say we all thought we’d have seen a lot more of Rhian Brewster in Liverpool’s first team by now. After joining Liverpool from Chelsea in 2015, the striker was quick to impress. After initially joining the club’s U18 side he was quickly promoted to the U23...
NORWICH was hot. Roasting hot. Anfield feels different when it’s warm. Don’t be fooled by the televisual sight of the ground basking in glorious sunshine. A lot of the time it’s cold or at least ‘coat weather’, but when you can put shorts on and leave your forearms...
WE are Liverpool. This means more. A glorified marketing slogan used by opposition fans as a stick to beat us with? Maybe. It would be a bit pretentious of us to pretend that what we’ve got going on is more important than at other clubs, after all. You only have to...
SO that is that then. Thirty-eight done. This is how it feels. Liverpool top of the league. You spend your life looking in the mirror brushing your teeth and thinking about the title. You catch yourself jogging and thinking of what hasn’t been. Stare out of...
