MANCHESTER City at home on New Year’s Eve. What were they thinking. And yet. And yet, it also seems kind of perfect. The collision that could define a season. The clash of the league’s two best footballing titans. On the cusp of a year. It’s a “see you on the...
HAVING to win to stand still is what we had to do. And it’s demoralising. At kick-off at Anfield yesterday Liverpool trailed Chelsea by nine points at the top of the league. The timing of the fixtures meant there had been no opportunity closing what was a six-point...
I’VE just had a look at the weekend’s fixtures. I already knew Chelsea were at Crystal Palace, but seeing their early Saturday kick-off time heard an expletive trip off my lips. Potentially, that means Chelsea could be nine points clear before the weekend and...
INTERNATIONAL breaks are good for pretty much nothing, but sometimes you’ll find positives out of them. From a personal point of view I put in a full weekend in work which always looks good to do from time to time, well in to the great lads at Sky who are letting me...

WEDNESDAY’S win over Manchester City was a tonic after the disappointment of Wembley, but as we left Anfield some long held concerns came to mind. A grinning Jürgen Klopp — clearly buoyed by the best home performance of the season — was on the pitch...
I DON’T have heroes. I’m 52 — I’m too old for heroes now. I can see the faults in most people — that they’re just people with the same faults as the rest of us and the same ability to be pretty decent or a bit of a knob depending on...
