ON the CityTalk show on Thursday I said something that has caused people to tweet me such things as, “Can’t believe you said that line. Infuriating”. It’s brought Everton supporters out of their shell, with one tagging their mate in a tweet and saying, “Get on to...

LET’S be honest, it hurts. And it’s going to for a while. There’s no enjoyable way to lose a final, and particularly one built up as a shortcut back to the big time. It felt like we’d cracked it. Back in a European final for the first time in nine years. The...

I’VE been meaning to write this for ages. You may not have noticed, but normally I’m that bloke banging on about things that happened 40 odd years ago, pining for a past that probably isn’t coming back any time soon. The fella more concerned with the aesthetic...

THE manager on Danny Ings: “Maybe it’s not enough time for him, but next season, we’ll have a lot of fun with him for sure.” We’ll have a lot of fun with him for sure. Shall we really over-analyse? Let’s do it. It has been repeatedly...

JÜRGEN Klopp’s journey from touchline to press room after the final whistle fascinates me. I would like to be able to follow him and observe, especially after occasions like Villarreal where it seems as though passion has carried him to another place. How does he find...

A SLOW start, a drastic mid-season change, an upturn in form and new hope. It feels like we’ve been here before, doesn’t it? Déjà vu isn’t just a banging Beyonce joint, it’s also something the Anfield faithful have experienced over many a season and, as the Reds find...
