THIS is the one we’ve waited for. Like a beacon at the end of the diary. The year ends with Manchester City at home. Big game, big day, big drink, big everything. There was a lot of talk of it making or breaking a night. I was more worried about starting 2017...

WEEKS before this. This: What a game this will be. Two sides who will want to play and be able to play without fear. First vs second or third. A close affair to see in the New Year. Can’t wait to take it to them. Stick it to them. Show them who is better. Should...

BOXING Day was a bit rubbish, wasn’t it? Footy-wise at least, all the eating and drinking was sound. But no Liverpool game and having to sit there watching everyone else win, even bloody Everton and they’re shite, was a bit galling. Well. We know what to...

AS we approach the halfway mark of the Premier League season with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City next up at Anfield on New Year’s Eve, Liverpool have recorded their joint highest ever points total from the first 18 matches of the season, already hitting the 40-point...

I’M penning this note on Boxing Day 2016. George Michael is dead. Rick Parfitt is dead. And Bobby Firmino’s been busted on a DUI. To put a top hat on it all, there’s no game today. It feels like the end of days. It’s been over a fortnight since Anfield was last...

HE doesn’t give a shit does he, old Kloppo? There he is going nuts on the touchline against Sunderland; first berating one moaning, negative dickhead, then offering the whole of the Main Stand out. After the game, my Dad — who loved Jürgen Klopp much earlier...

WITH his team drawing 0-0 against the bottom of the table side with 60 minutes of the match gone, Roy Hodgson’s captain drills a pass into The Kop and a 55-year-old bloke in the Paddock groans “oh for Christ’s sake, Poulsen” at a volume loud enough for Roy to hear...

ANFIELD hosted an international Rugby League match on Sunday between Australia and New Zealand. The Aussies won the game 34-8. While the action unfolded, anyone legally old enough among the 40,042 crowd could sip from a beer while sitting in their seat if they so...

I’M considering asking Robbo to change the name of this column to ‘Stuck between a rock and a hard place’. Given the paucity of midweek football the Reds are going to play this year it can be a bit difficult to write something about the weekend’s football just gone...

Philippa Smallwood I HAVE struggled with motivation. I have struggled with anxiety. I have struggled with nerves. I have struggled just to get in my car and drive to Anfield on a match day. It is fair to say that I probably fell out of love with the game for the best...
