SUBSIDENCE is a peculiar concept. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing either. Has your anger subsided yet? A lot of Liverpool fans got angry about the way last season tailed off. A lot of Liverpool fans got angry that FSG didn’t sack Brendan Rodgers and...
SO, KOLO. No player conflicts me quite like Kolo. His enthusiasm, experience and mentality are great assets. The footballer Kolo Toure would have been an unbelievable asset around 2008 as he was genuinely fantastic; strong, and fast and an all-round excellent...
THREE weeks ago this would have been significantly shorter. What’s next for Mamadou Sakho you ask? It all seemed pretty obvious didn’t it? Stay fit and prove yourself to be one of the top centre backs in the Premier League now you’ve belatedly been granted a much...

LAST season ended badly, writes NEIL POOLE of the We Are Liverpool fanzine. Very badly. It seemed like the manager was sinking with along with his team. Yet FSG have given Brendan Rodgers a second chance. Something that — in the modern game at least —...
THE term ‘legend’ is one bandied around all too readily in the modern game but Roger Hunt, who is 77 today, is a player truly worthy of the mantle. Sir Roger, as he was affectionately christened by The Kop, still has a burning passion for football. When we meet in a...
