WE’RE at one of those junctures already. One of those proverbial fork-in-the-road moments. Last season we built a lead on City but once we allowed it to slip, the margin just withered as if it had all been so illusory. Liverpool had two spells last campaign in which...
THE International Slavery Museum may not be the most obvious place to start a piece for a football website, but stick with it. I’d been to the museum at Liverpool’s Albert Dock before, but not for a long time. Recently, I went there with my children. The stories...
THERE is never a shortage of talking points when it comes to Liverpool Football Club. While the current topics relate to court battles over kit sponsors and VAR controversies, there is an ever present which never fails to raise debate among Reds across the globe. The...
SOMETIMES, there’s no harm in admitting that the opposition just played better. It hurts and can only be said through gritted teeth, but it’s true. Liverpool v Man Utd is usually a war of attrition rather than an exhibition of pure football and Sunday’s bunfight was...

SINCE Liverpool last played a match, Trent Alexander-Arnold has celebrated another birthday. He turned 21 two days after the 2-1 victory over Leicester. It’s an age when elders traditionally handed over a key to the door. An age when it becomes legal to drink alcohol...
IT says a lot about the damage Manchester United have done to my psyche that at 1-1 with half an hour to go against Arsenal, I still fully expected them to win. Even as each substitution lessened their quality and their side becoming increasingly unrecognisable, I...
I’M not falling for it. Liverpool’s next opponents currently sit in 12th place with nine points having won just twice this season. The opening eight games represent their worst ever start in Premier League history. Their last away win came at Selhurst Park back in...
YOU can never truly trust social media. There I was, harmlessly scrolling through Twitter on Sunday night, when I saw a number of posts to the effect of “What a goal from Wijnaldum,” “What has Wijnaldum just done?!” and even “OMGini!” It was tremendous news that...
