IT’S difficult to decide on what constitutes success this season for a Liverpool side that is now very much in the image of Jürgen Klopp. The realist in you is pragmatic — he’s talking fourth-placed finishes, mulling over net spends and how problem...
IT’S that time of year again. Hope springs eternal. A nine-month journey that starts in summer brilliance, ploughs through the dark, mist, wind and rain, and the bite of winter frost before the onset of spring. The title run-in coincides with the return of...
THE last time I was in a football ground I walked out before the match had finished in a huff. I was annoyed. An hour earlier Liverpool had walked off the pitch in Basel with a 1-0 half time lead, about 85 per cent of the ground spent half-time singing There She Goes...

I HAVE spent a lot of time recently thinking about Roald Dahl and his sheer unapologetic brilliance. There’s an attitude to what Dahl wrote. It is something about being determined to be awkward and ungainly. That being those things is simultaneously something to...
I RECEIVED a call late last night from Jurgen Klopp. He said: “Gibbo, Wednesday night is the big one. I’m resting 11 players and you need to rest up, too. The fans are just as important to us as the players. I’m telling all the big hitters to stay at...
