IT happened for the first time on Wednesday night. Not Manchester United being predictably devoid of the physical or mental sturdiness to compete at the levels they once set. Not Manchester City showing a glimmer of their fragility before becoming an overpowering...
IT will be strange at Anfield in Friday night. As we danced and bounced in the Cardiff sunshine last weekend, dreaming of and expecting a Man City slip in their derby, hoping for the break in the case that would open this league up for us, Huddersfield on a Friday...
WHAT’S your perspective on hope? I think that’s where we are now. What it all comes down to. What do you choose? Do you believe it’s the hope that kills you? Or that once you choose hope anything is possible? Do you still believe? Do you dare to allow yourself to...
OH, how far we’ve come. As this season evolves, I find myself often referencing how far we’ve come in these pieces of writing. Thinking back to Gerard Houllier’s cup-conquering machine of 2000-01, and to last season’s rollercoaster of a side. It feels as though this...

WE’VE been in Porto since Monday and finally the promised wet weather has arrived. I’m sat in my hotel room looking across a rainy city rather than the one baked in sunshine that we have been enjoying for the last couple of days. We were warned, though....
THE gleeful face of Kenny Dalglish in the Anfield stands at the weekend was a reminder of a time so long ago now, it seems like another place – a different world. In so many ways it was. When that same face beamed with joy 29 years ago, there was no stand at Anfield...
FOOTBALL fans are rarely in tandem. From debating who’s the better footballer between Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi to analysing the best player ever to play in the Premier League or even just divulging your annoyance at the latest team selection. In the...
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.
