THE more we find ourselves holed up in homes and lassoed by lockdown, the more the idea that football is inconsequential looks ever more daft. When placed side by side with living or dying, then of course there are no comparisons. Everything is on hold now with very...
I RECENTLY said on an Anfield Wrap Review show that the 2017-18 season might be my favourite under Jürgen Klopp. That’s quite the statement given the highs achieved and still to come, but I stand by it. The sweet-spot moment of football support when you know your team...
YOU simply cannot overstate just how good Manchester City were in 2017-18. I struggle to understand how anyone who witnessed that season can try to argue, with a straight face, that the Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ were better, or Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea, or any of Alex...
SO my last few columns may have come across a bit contradictory. In my game of 2015-16 piece on the Villarreal win, I talked about people who say they’d happily go back and relive games that were excruciating at times before a huge pay off, and how I’d much rather...
SO, some cruel fucker in the Anfield Wrap office has somehow come to the conclusion that what my delicate, fragile, mental health really needs at this point in my Kyiv recovery is to think about those Redshite bastards and how they have got on this season, and give...
IT’S been a pretty low-key week for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah wins the PFA and Football Writers’ Player of the Year awards. Zeljko Buvac leaves his position as assistant manager, apparently temporarily. The Reds qualify for the Champions League final, and are...
Sat in the office yesterday chatting the worst Friday wham you can imagine when my colleague Gareth Roberts piped up about the Watford game at the start of the season feeling like ages ago and he had a point, but maybe not in the way he might have meant. Is 217 days...
FANCY being in with a chance to win a Liverpool 2017-18 home shirt signed by Daniel Sturridge? The striker scored his 100th career goal on Saturday against Huddersfield Town, making it 62 in total for The Reds. We were lucky enough to spend some time with Daniel at...
IT’S the final week of the transfer window and The Reds are doing everything to break their club record for the third (or fourth?) time this summer. And we’re giddy. So we’ve decided to give away a new 2017-18 home shirt signed by the Liverpool...
ONE of my best mates in the world is a Sheffield United supporter. We should all have a mate who’s a Sheffield United supporter. Well, not them in particular, there aren’t enough to go around us all and I’m not sharing mine, but a team like them. It...
