In our long look at Liverpool’s win at Southampton we discuss the different phases of the game. Liverpool putting early pressure on the Saints, the home side coming back to donate the ball in the first period but unable to carve Liverpool open, and the Liverpool...
BEFORE taking a break from social media in 2017, I wrote a fair bit on the subject of how Liverpool’s footballing structure seemed to be quietly changing behind the scenes. I started out pissed off, talking about how the club seemed headed for a kind of half-assed...
I LOVE magic. Since I was a young boy I’ve been captivated by someone’s ability to make things disappear or to make something materialise from nowhere. I was always amazed by how even the most hardened of grown ups around me were astounded by these magical moments,...

I’VE been trying to listen to every song there ever was to flush The Archies out of my head over the last couple of days. The ever-reliable Andy Williams and his version of “The Impossible Dream” popped up on Spotify last night, and not only did it succeed...
I’ve got a conundrum for you which, if you can solve, wins you a dream job that pays around £5million per year with bonuses, plus a legacy as one of the most important men or women in the history of association football. It goes like this: How can you combine having a...
The Anfield Wrap after all the madness as Liverpool succumbed to a late defeat at the hands of Manchester City at Anfield, despite another phenomenal Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, who later saw red in a tangle with Erling Haaland.
