What a victory for the marvellous boys in Red. Liverpool showed their class as they undid Manchester City by 4 goals to 3. It was a performance with 10 men of the match and Liverpool sending a message out to the wider league. It’s a packed overexcited room for...
THE Reds are mustard again. There was a purity to the occasion, a purity to the two performances. A reminder what this thing is. Two sets of lads mostly in their 20s being bold and brave, and playing, and playing, and playing. Two teams running themselves into the...

IN the aftermath of the shambles that unfolded at the Etihad on Saturday, the positive vibe around Liverpool after a highly encouraging start to the season ground to a halt, replaced by swathes of criticism and inquests into the culprits behind the 5-0 drubbing. Much...
The final look at a game a lot of us will not want to look at again – Liverpool’s 5-0 defeat away at Manchester City. What about the game will have annoyed the manager? What could he have done differently? What can you hope to improve on? Sean Rogers, Paul...
THERE’S a scene I love in The Simpsons where Mr Burns hosts a meeting with his highly-paid lawyers in his enormous office. He’s been informed that Homer has a low sperm count due his daily dealings with nuclear contaminants and they need to act quickly to cheat him...
