YOU can tell me there are more important issues in football in 2015; that in the grand scheme of things it matters little. You can say it’s harmless, insignificant, a mere side issue when held up alongside things that need tackling with urgency: like spiraling ticket...
VLADIMIR SMICER volleyed a stoppage-time winner against Chelsea at Anfield to put Liverpool top of the league on this day in 2002. The Czech had replaced Steven Gerrard in the 28th minute and his winner for Gerard Houllier’s side came after Jari Litmanen had...
THERE has been a lot of conjecture over what went wrong. I think it was more a question of what didn’t go right. Similar, but a subtle difference. Liverpool’s first league defeat in over four months does not mean the wheels automatically come off. But no-one does...
I HAD an exchange with a United fan this morning. I expected him to be full of the joys of Spring, what with it being actually Spring (definitely helps) and the fact that his team had just bested their rivals, in their rival’s own back yard. Oh, and to add to all the...

ON this day in 1991 Liverpool chalked up their most emphatic away win for almost a century as they won 7-1 at The Baseball Ground against Derby County. Peter Shilton was in the County goal but could do nothing to match the rampant Reds as Jan Molby from the spot, John...
NEIL Atkinson, John Milburn, Gareth Roberts and Jay McKenna clatter through the defeat against United. Bad language. Tons of bad language. And referees. And Gerrard. And bad language.’ Direct Link – THE PINK: POST MAN UNITED Podcast RSS feed. Get the TAW...
THERE’S a Mancunian contingent with us today in the boozer. Good lads. Head the ground before us. They are eager about the post match. Trying to impress upon them this one thing — you’ll have a better night if The Reds win. If The Reds win it will be...
THAT first half wasn’t fun. Watching Liverpool outclassed on our own pitch for the first time since Real Madrid. The team from Manchester better at everything. Watching Steven Gerrard getting sent off wasn’t fun. Seeing one of our own essentially cost us the game. It...
