YOU know what I love about Anfield? Every time I go there I feel like a child. I was a kid when I first went there. I’m far from one now, but in that place, I will be forever. As Liverpool summoned the gods and overwhelmed Napoli on a chilled Tuesday December night, I...
EARLIER this week, a Swiss research group called CIES Football Observatory announced that Andy Robertson, the magnificent left back and Scottish captain, is now worth £72.12m. The organisation, which provide “technical analysis of player performance and the scientific...
THAT is one of the maddest 1-0s I’ve ever seen. When fate seemed to want to conspire against The Reds on the night, they stood up in the face of adversity and every single one of them were absolutely accounted for. Tonight they made the impact which counts most of...
LEADERS shone through at Burnley on Wednesday night. Leaders all over the pitch, in what was eventually an excellent win on the back of the ecstasy and elation of the Merseyside derby. Last week I wrote about leaders and specifically captains, yet the truth is this...
THE 1986 FA Cup final may just be the biggest football match I ever commentated on. It certainly seemed like it at the time. Yes, there was Istanbul — and didn’t someone else win the Champions League in dramatic circumstances a few seasons before? Just this...
THINK back to the person you were three years ago. Have you changed? Have you matured in any way? Have you ever given it a second thought? I can categorically say that both I and my life have changed for the better. This is likely to do with me evolving past my 20s...

I WAS commentating on the Napoli vs PSG game on Tuesday night. The good news is that it was a draw, the bad news is that it was a bloody good draw. If Liverpool are to play any Champions League football after New Year, they will first need to play some of that...
WE’VE conquered all of Europe. We’ve seemingly decided to have a rest. Let’s get this out the way… Red Star played well in the first half, picked their moments well and produced two excellent finishes. They did sensible things in the second. It...
THEY say consistency breeds success. In a footballing sense, this is not always the case. To be consistently shit will result in a broad sense of negativity, and destroy every grain of hope and enjoyment that you aspire to achieve, from giving your time and energy to...
On this week’s Gutter we speculate about Liverpool’s approach to the managerial job, whether they’ll stick with Arne Slot or, with Xabi Alonso available, they’ll look to bring in the former Leverkusen and Real Madrid manager or look at other alternative candidates.
