FIRST things first. I’m struggling to accept it was 40 years ago today that Liverpool won the first leg of this final at Anfield. Sorry, but it’s not possible. It just isn’t. Because that means I am hurtling through middle age at a rate Mo Farah would struggle to keep...
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...
THIS was a strange one to ‘scout’ as it was hard to decide which game to watch. The easiest of the Spanish side’s recent fixtures to find a full 90 minutes of was the 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid last Wednesday. However, although I watched it, it was...
I’VE watched last Thursday about 20 times. The Lov leaping like a salmon out of the Kupa river and sending the Kop into raptures. Not a clue if they even have salmon in Croatia but you get my point: He jumped dead high and he’s Croatian. I’m struggling to figure...

WHAT a week. What a gang of lads. What a set of Reds. Did you have a little cry? I know I did. 4-3 and I am full of joy, that angry joy, that ‘stitch that’ joy, that joy unconfined, that joy that is the language of heaven with the noise of hell, that joy...
Dortmund (h) Morning seems strange, almost out of place. Searched hard for you and your special ways. These days, these days Ian Curtis (Joy Division & England, 1980) God knows what Ian was on about. He was mooching about in Macclesfield/Manchester neck of the...
