QUIETLY, in the background, it is building. While the focus is on the potential exit of Brendan Rodgers, work has begun on a different Liverpool outgoing. With most stood at the front door waiting for a new manager to come in, the stories of Philippe Coutinho being...
THERE we go then on the Newstalk website. Philippe Coutinho. Too lightweight and like a schoolboy. It’s immediately tiring, but it does need to be said that the diminutive Brazilian isn’t above criticism and that he was both poor and a dope — a big,...
AN ARTIST recently approached me on Lark Lane asking me who the next Liverpool legend was. This is actually true, these things happen if you hang around Lark Lane too much. He likes painting cultural icons in a classical style. He’s the fella who did John Lennon...
THE MORNING AFTER. Insides blackened, sweat cascading, kidneys begging for relief. The morning after and the toll feels too great, the day felt too long. There is a burden. There is a cost. How many more of these have I got left in me? It’s only August the...
IT IS DIFFICULT to pinpoint exactly when it started. PHILIP GREENE certainly cannot put his finger on it; the moment when the global transfer market shifted just enough towards the very richest clubs in the world that the rest (and unfortunately Liverpool are now part...

IT’S not eloquent, and it’s not inventive, but sometimes the ‘ooooohs’ and ‘aaahhhhs’ are the only things that suffice, writes MELISSA REDDY. The tap of superlatives runneth dry, and you’re fresh out of smart 140-character odes. You look around the ground, at...
AFTER Liverpool’s terrific 2-1 home victory against Manchester City a somewhat hoarse Neil Atkinson is joined on this week’s podcast by Steve Graves, Jay McKenna and Phil Blundell to talk about how good Joe Allen was and how odd Manchester City...
