WEDNESDAY’S win over Manchester City was a tonic after the disappointment of Wembley, but as we left Anfield some long held concerns came to mind. A grinning Jürgen Klopp — clearly buoyed by the best home performance of the season — was on the pitch...
ON Tuesday 1st March John Gibbons joins a paint covered Gareth Roberts with a round up of the day’s LFC news. Some financial reports are out. John and Gareth don’t pretend to be financial experts, but they stress the importance of looking at the detail...
ON Friday 26th February John Gibbons and Neil Atkinson bring you the day’s LFC news. There has been a Europa League draw and Liverpool got Manchester United. We’re coming round to it. Big games are great. Jurgen Klopp was asked about it too. He had a press...

ON Wednesday 17th February, John Gibbons is joined by Neil Atkinson and a 1987 issue of Shoot Magazine. They have more up to date information than contained in that though, including some interesting statistics on goals per minutes for Liverpool strikers. John...
MOMENTS that change things. I was working in a record shop. Late eighties. Mentioned this before. Lots of times. 1988 going into 89. That summer of 89 when all we did was tell anybody that looked like they’d ever seen a guitar that what they really needed in...
IT will be a bit of a shame to lose Villa. The away trip, not the team. It’s an old-school red brick football factory — and one of the last of its kind. Handily, it’s in the middle of the UK and is an unambiguous there-and-back-in-a-day away job. No...
