IT’S one of my all-time favourite football clichés; classic manager-speak to polish the turd of cup failure. But, for once, the phrase ‘concentrate on the league’ really does mean something for Liverpool. Today’s FA Cup defeat means there are 12 games – six home, six...
by STEVEN SCRAGG CAN you hear the drums, Fernando? A bumpy, playful but satisfyingly successful night out in West London it turned out to be for Liverpool at Craven Cottage – an area of the world not too far from where an old friend by the name of Fernando Torres...
by TERRY CLAGUE AS A child, some friends and I founded LFC. That is to say that we started a fan club. We made badges and adorned a folder with the greatest drawing of a Liver Bird you’ll ever see. Like many of the best things in life, it had rules. At some...
DEMONS. All day. Demons. They won’t shut up. Fulham away. I hate Fulham away as a fixture. Hate it. The formbook goes out the window. For every Yossi there is Lee Mason sending a billion of ours off. All day the demons. Rory Smith saying Liverpool won’t...

by STEVEN SCRAGG IT WAS around 23 minutes into proceedings at Anfield. I took a glance to my left and puffed out my cheeks, eyes wide and in all likelihood pupils dilated as it washed over me just what I’d witnessed unfold in a remarkable opening 20 minutes against...
“(the) long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is past the ocean is flat again.” John Maynard Keynes...
IT’S shortly before 10am on Wednesday and I’m parked up on a motorway bridge in Skelmersdale waiting for a man I’ve never met to turn up in a Vectra; I’m yet to work as a drug dealer but it felt like I was doing a deal. How did it come to this? It should have been...
The Anfield Wrap’s first live show of the season from our brand new studio where we discuss, among other things, Andoni’s Iraola’s comments about the depth of his Liverpool squad, as well as fresh links to Yankuba Minteh, before looking ahead to the Reds trip to Newcastle on Sunday.
