DEATH, taxes and Liverpool victories. They’re not the three only certain things in life, just three things that seem to be annoying the vast majority of the nation at the moment. The latter seems to be particularly annoying to former Manchester City player Trevor...
IN Paris on Monday night, the titanic clash between Liverpool and Barcelona was again on show as the best players from both teams waited to see who had been named the 2019 Ballon d’Or winner. It would turn out to be Lionel Messi’s night as he pipped Virgil van Dijk to...
AMONG the oddest games in living memory. The draw helped neither side in a sense, but both seemed far too happy with it. No one appeared to have done the maths, the counting. Start with the guests. Napoli can expect to get a result against Genk. If they fail to beat...
THE weeks before the game that follows the international break fortnight are nervy affairs. Continuity, for better or for worse, is broken. The season, pre Christmas, is like watching a movie with numerous, needless, elongated intermissions. They would make little...
JUST prior to England’s 4-0 win over Kosovo on Sunday, our own Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain took centre stage. Chamberlain’s international career began seven and a half years ago, in a 1-0 win over Norway – incidentally Roy Hodgson’s first game as England manager. He...
UNLESS you’ve been living in a wi-fi wilderness, you’ve probably noticed the fall out from Liverpool’s victory over Manchester City. Away from the piss-boiling of the VAR outrage, official complaints about the referee and Raheem Sterling’s meltdown, a question can be...
I’M in a difficult moment. Still struggling to live in the here and now. I simply cannot wait for this epoch-defining game to be over and simultaneously for it to never happen. Same for this season as an entirety. Liverpool being good again is forcing me to wish my...
ASTON Villa 10-0 Liverpool Football Club – December 17, 2019. What does that feel like? Forget that it might be a competition which for whatever reason you hold no currency. Forget that the teams’ average age on the night was 15 years and two days. Forget even...
MATTERS are out of hand. Things are out of hand. Liverpool go 1-2 and if every fibre of your being isn’t bedlam then you are doing life wrong. If every fibre of your being doesn’t scream at you that these are the greatest men who have ever have been...
THE game before the game is a dangerous game. Liverpool have eyes only for Aston Villa, legs ready to run through brick walls in Birmingham on Saturday, but hearts that are surely beating faster knowing that the day of reckoning with Manchester City is ebbing ever...
Liverpool failed to capitalise on the previous weekends favourable results to lose their 10th game of the season, this time with a miserable display on the road to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex.
Beth Lindop is joined by Ian Salmon, Rob Gutmann and James Sutton.
