AS far as sucker punches go, that’s up there. Liverpool were absolutely undressed by Manchester City in a manner that demands an immediate response. But fuck the result. Having been clearly the better side for most of the opening period the game was taken away...
LAST-minute change of plan. I was planning to write about the returning Phil Coutinho this week but someone has got there before me. However, I can’t let it pass without a mini lecture for the hypersensitive. When the errant Brazilian rascal reappears in red, treat...
