WHAT a strange week of football that was. Manchester United beating Manchester City with a second-half turnaround, Roma coming back from 4-1 down to beat Barcelona, Juventus nearly doing similar to Real Madrid, Red Bull Salzburg coming from 5-2 down on aggregate with...
DEFENDING things like this always come with a caveat so here it is. Throwing bottles in the street is not a good thing. I’m dead against it. Presumably apart from the lads who were doing it, we all are. I’m less concerned about the safety of the Manchester City coach...
THERE was so much talk going into this game. So much talk that it almost felt like the buildup to this Champions League quarter final first leg against Manchester City wouldn’t live up to its own hype. Champions League first legs can be drab affairs, focus laid...
LIVERPOOL are in the latter rounds of the Champions League again and have set the stage for another atmospheric European night at Anfield, writes JOEL SANDERSON-MURRAY. It’s been too long, nearly a decade, for a night like this to come along. Anfield has been yearning...
THE buildup to what promises to be a classic of its kind at Anfield has been slightly strange so far to these eyes. Manchester City – despite carrying that name and coming from that place – don’t really generate any kind of raw emotion. They’re from what is...
partisan noun a strong supporter of a party, cause, or person. HERE we are again, Reds. These are my favourites. I’m happy to write about how well Trent Alexander-Arnold has done or why Emre Can’s self belief should be applauded, not derided, but these articles are...
THE 200th meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United was a huge step towards deciding who would be “best of the rest” in the Premier League. A win for The Reds would have put them a point ahead of their north-west rivals, but it was Jose Mourinho’s side who came...
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR are a very decent side. Our encounter with them on Sunday is the 22nd match we have played since they beat us 4-1 at their temporary home of Wembley Stadium back in October. There’s been an ocean flow under a bridge since then. Spurs arrive to...

What Should Happen To Manchester City? | TAW Unwrapped
Following the fallout from Liverpool’s defeat to City at the weekend, with many people not really knowing what it meant, or if it indeed mean anything at all given the ongoing furore and speculation around City’s punishment for cheating, we ask the question what SHOULD happen to Manchester City when a punishment is finally handed down?
Also in the show we look toward Liverpool’s evenings fixture in Austria in the Champions League against LASK.
John Gibbons hosts Adam Melia, Kev Reilly and Josh Sexton.
