LIVERPOOL: THE IFS AND BUTS

LIVERPOOL: THE IFS AND BUTS

YOU can’t live your life by ifs and buts. So why should your football team be allowed to? If Raheem Sterling scored that chance when the ball broke free for him to the left of the Manchester United penalty area? But United scored their first against the run of play....
MANCHESTER UNITED 3 LIVERPOOL 0

MANCHESTER UNITED 3 LIVERPOOL 0

I AM drenched and broadly speaking lost, trying to get back from Manchester after having discussed Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester United live to a nation who would prefer it if I didn’t swear or blaspheme. Bar one shout of “God in heaven”...

COUNTDOWN TO OLD TRAFFORD: GIVE IT SOME BEANS

“HP baked beans; they’re the beans for me.” BANG! More than just a slogan to sell haricot beans in a tasty tomato sauce. It’s an early 1980s visit to Old Trafford – that most friendly and hospitable of away grounds for the discerning travelling Red to tip up at...
