SOME things I love and hate about weeks like this one: 1) I hate the waiting I hate the way I put my life on hold. The treading water. The way the days just drag. The way my work suffers and my relationships become distractions. I force the time away, in the manner in...
THE fury on social media could not match the fume on the team plane. Margins. The smallest of margins. One minute away from an accomplished European away performance against a Villarreal side incredibly formidable in front of their own fans, the final 60 seconds at...
IT’S a question we can never truly know the answer to. One we can theorise and ponder over without truly nailing a definitive. What comes first, the passion or the performance? After fearing the trademarked famous European Anfield nights had been lost forever,...

VERY much like Liverpool under Hicks and Gillett, The Anfield Wrap currently have a home and an away team. While John Gibbons and Andy Heaton toil away in Sunny Spain, Neil Atkinson and Gareth Roberts are holding the fort in Liverpool and they are joined by Rob...
WHEN Liverpool are through to the next round in European competition all we want to know is who are we going to get? Where next? Who next? And are they any good? Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have been seen off. They were really tough ties but were...
