I MET Malcolm McDowell once, writes ROB FRASER. I’ve been a [sort of] journalist for nearly 20 years but this wasn’t an interview. I was on holiday in Taormina, Sicily and their film festival was taking place and Malc was being honoured [so was shampoo spokesperson...
LIVERPOOL FC, please buy some belief. Sensible. That’s what Liverpool’s transfer business has been termed thus far. Sensible. Let me get this out the way: I’m a James Milner disciple and thoroughly looking forward to following his ‘whatever it takes’ ethos. He is...
LIVERPOOL should not sell Raheem Sterling this summer. I don’t care whether Manchester City or anyone else bids upwards of £40million over the coming months, the club should not let the player leave Anfield under any circumstances. As a fan I don’t want money in the...
