By Ian Salmon WE all have stories. We all know what we did today. This is mine. I wasn’t there. I tried to be there but I wasn’t. I was in The Sandon. It was the next best thing. There was alcohol. No food. Alcohol. There was the fact that I didn’t have a ticket....
IT’S HEARTBREAKING, IT REALLY IS. Liverpool pushed all they had but sometimes you can be shut down and stopped. Football is about choices, a series of choices, made by footballers and by football managers. Football isn’t moral. We get far too hung up on...
SHOULD Liverpool win the title this season (as seems increasingly likely), then along with the plaudits given to the manager and the players, there will be many who also credit FSG with the turnaround in the club’s fortunes, writes JIM KEOGHAN. After all, when they...

IN 1990, I went on my first ever holiday abroad, aged 17. It was a roller coaster ride. I went to Toronto with my sister and her husband, to meet for the first time the Canadian branch of our family. I saw The Simpsons for the first time. I ate Tim Horton’s donuts for...
