PHILIPPE Coutinho is now a firm fans’ favourite and after signing a new five-year contract with the club in February, Liverpool’s No.10 clocked up his 100th appearance for the Reds at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. MELISSA REDDY exclusively interviewed the...
THE breath drawn to blow the final whistle had barely been exhaled when it began: a cyberspace rubbing of hands. A virtual crack of the fingers. The post-match interview was awaited by some with the glee reserved for Christmas Day unwrapping. Time to dig at the...
IT’S been one mother fucker of a season. Horrible really. Apart from the long sustained good bit in the middle. We’ll finish fifth. Triffic. Do you want to know what makes it such a disaster ? I ask because, taking last season out, Liverpool FC’s average...
I *LOVE* Rafa Benitez. I love the bones of him. I’m willing to bet I’m in the top one percent of worldwide Rafa lovers. There are basically his kids, Montse and Antonio Nunez that I’m prepared to acknowledge might be ahead of me. It’s important...

DISCUSSING Liverpool right now feels a lot like the moment Bill Murray wakes up on February 2 at six o’clock to I Got You Babe by Sonny & Cher. Again and again and again. Instead, in the Scouse version of Groundhog Day, we wake up and someone tells us we still...
