IF at first, you don’t succeed… I got changed in a bog last night. Student/truck driver behaviour (delete as appropriate) for a supposedly urbane man of 47 years. The much-improved services at Rivington North — a hop, skip and a jump from the Macron/...
WELL we got there in the end. History is written by the winners and stories are changed reflecting results. With five minutes to go in normal time I was wondering how such a talented squad performing so well couldn’t manage a goal in 175 minutes against a...
NEIL writes the match reports. Neil or Gareth or Gibbo. But Gibbo’s living the life fantastic in Utah and Neil and Gareth are on a stag do, so they asked for volunteers and here we are. Not long after I said I’d do it a mate of mine offered me his tickets....
I actually qualified for a ticket for the AFC Wimbledon game in the third round when just 825 of us got the chance to go. The only problem being I couldn’t go. Apparently my mate Sue had a fantastic time. I still have a picture of ‘my ticket’ somewhere on...
WE left for Wimbledon at 2pm on Monday. Which is a time most people are normally in work. Lots of Liverpool fans will have had to try to ask for time off, bully workmates into swapping shifts or talk their boss into letting them leave early on what is traditionally...

ERIC Cantona’s smug face. That’s the immediate image that flashes in my mind whenever the FA Cup is mentioned. Eric frigging Cantona. The build up seemingly started at about 3am. My mum was on snack duty, diligently replenishing my supplies throughout the day as I sat...
FIFTY-SIX years ago to this day – July 29, 1958 – a bonafide legend signed for Liverpool Football Club. “Sir” Roger Hunt was spotted playing for Stockton Heath in the Mid-Cheshire League by Bill Jones, himself a former Liverpool player, and the grandad of...
NOTHING said ‘cup final day’ more than a dog in full football kit. The FA Cup Final used to be the biggest day on the football calendar. It was absolutely massive and the country would grind to a halt to decorate front windows of houses, to hand over good money to buy...
by STEVEN SCRAGG A CUP TIE tie lost but momentum maintained and a readjustment of mindset. I’m trying to grasp the vibe I’m meant to be experiencing after we tumbled out of the FA Cup to Arsenal at the Emirates. On one hand, I will never do anything other than...
