THE League Cup doesn’t matter? Someone forgot to tell Liverpool. When I heard the team read out on Radio City as I drove towards the ground it prompted a scowl, a nod and a clench of the fist. Not just because Liverpool were taking this seriously, but because...
LUIS Suarez stands five paces from the ball; 25 yards from goal. The Kop stands, expectant. Something brilliant is about to happen. Jaws prepare to drop and spines ready themselves to tingle. Approaching the ball side on, the Uruguayan whips it goalwards with his...
DERAILMENT is such an ugly word. Even at Liverpool’s most wild and wonderful best last season you could never really accuse them of being ‘on track’ at any time. We were free-wheeling down a very steep gradient, never totally in control but seemingly following an...

LOOKING back at this season, it’s hard to shake the feeling of ‘what could have been’, writes PAUL McCABE. The Chelsea defeat and the surrender of a three-goal lead to Crystal Palace prompted many to accuse Liverpool of bottling it; of coming up short when it mattered...
ALMOST four years ago to the week, I wrote a blog post on my old Well Red blog entitled ‘Why I’m sick of being a Liverpool FC fan’. I wasn’t sick of the club – after a lifetime supporting it you can’t turn that off. It was just the actual being a match-going fan bit....
