AS The Kop poured into the streets with leaden shoulders and a collective stooped gait, a lone voice roared above the hubbub. ‘Libpool, Libpool – top of the league. Libpool – top of the league.’ It was an act of defiance. It spoke of a heart...
by Dave Martinez ‘It appears to me that the dark has a lot more territory’ THE final scene of the phenomenal HBO drama True Detective sees Woody Harrelson’s character – Marty Hart – utter that sentence with a resigned, pessimistic tone as he looks up at...
WE woke this morning to headlines alternately heralding a tactical masterclass from Mourinho, alongside claims that Brendan Rodgers had thrown bitter barbs in Mourinho’s direction, highlighting his ‘two buses parked’ comment. The reality is different...
by IAN SALMON IT’S the small moments that give you the true measure of a man. Leaving The Kop at the end of the memorial service via Back Rockfield Road (go on then, it’s the alley way down to ‘The’Arry’) we noticed a small gathering surrounding a van at the end...
