JONNY GIBSON LIVERPOOL’S poor form since the turn of the year has posed a question that no Reds fan wants to consider. What if Liverpool finished fifth? After a spirited performance against league leaders Chelsea last week, Liverpool fans were heading into the...

LET me take you back to a painful day in our recent history. Sunday April 27, 2014. Liverpool 0 Chelsea 2. That one. I was low down on The Kop that day with my mate Tony. Front row, corner flag. We were so close to the action that we could have tapped Iago Aspas on...

THREE years to the day since the best 20 minutes of your life. Liverpool beat Arsenal 5-1 on this day in 2014. The first 20 minutes were the best 20 minutes of your life or you just aren’t doing it right. Your life I mean — you aren’t doing your life...

Our Review show sees Neil Atkinson, Sean Rogers and Ben Johnson rake over the coals of Hull City away. It’s not for the gentle hearted. Indeed, some are rating it as NSFLFC. In-depth looks at the stats, what they tell us, the spirit, the shape and the questions...

MY mates would tell you I’m too much of a knob to be a full-back, they’re usually a quiet bunch who keep themselves to themselves and keep things ticking along, not causing any trouble or getting drunk. I think my dark side comes from always wanting to be a centre...

I GOT accidentally drunk on Friday. We’ve all been there. After a couple at AFQ we were going to an event at Bluecoat Chambers for their 300th birthday. That’s quite impressive, isn’t it? A building knocking about in town that’s older than The...
