BEFORE this season began I speculated that Liverpool would challenge for the title. My logic was that Arsenal always finish fourth, Tottenham would be heartbroken at not taking Leicester to the wire last season — much as we were in 2014-2015 — and...

USUALLY in a two-sided scenario people have an opinion one way or the other. Often, someone is plain wrong, and someone completely right — such as when someone tells you that the earth is flat. Other situations aren’t so clear. Such as when people go to...

THERE was a time, a moment, when all that money Liverpool shipped off to Newcastle for Andy Carroll, suddenly made sense, writes GREG STANLEY. In the sheer euphoria that followed not just his thunderous long-range strike that almost took Joe Hart into the net with it,...

In the wake of Liverpool’s draw-that-felt-like-a-loss with Bournemouth last night I wondered what I could write about today. I considered talking about how the two Merseyside derbies at Anfield appear to have bookended Divock Origi’s year, with the injury he suffered...
