AT some point between the advent of the Premier League and today, it was decided that footballers in England’s top division weren’t human. Obviously they’re human in the sense that they’re made of flesh and blood, yet somehow they’ve ceased to be seen and judged in...
YOU may or (probably definitely) may not have noticed that I didn’t meet the Monday morning deadline for my weekly column to go up. I noticed. To be honest, I pre-empted it. You see, I was in Magaluf from Friday night to Sunday morning on a whirlwind tour. Magaluf,...
I ALMOST feel it’s often forgotten by many that when Liverpool play there’s another team on the pitch, and by that I mean how that other team approaches the game. Unless Liverpool are able to do something brilliant, such as Emre Can scoring a wonder goal at Watford...
