JAMIE BRAIDWOOD IT’S been eight years since Tony Pulis and his merry band of rugby players and ex-javelin throwers arrived in the Premier League. Since then, the Welshman, complete with tracksuit, baseball cap and gleaming trainers, has become an established Premier...

HERE we are the other side of Manchester United. Slightly confused by events, but unbowed, unbeaten. Normal life can begin again. West Brom at home on a Saturday at tea time is normal life. In a sense, these are my favourite type of games. In a sense they are also the...

WITH every passing day, the point from Monday’s literal stalemate against a dogged, ultra-conservative but supremely well-drilled Manchester United looks better and better to me. In the wake of the 0-0 draw there was an eagerness; a desperation to put thoughts of the...

LIVERPOOL manager Jürgen Klopp has insisted that his side must show West Brom respect, as they showed how they can hurt teams the last time they met. In last year’s fixture at Anfield the sides drew 2-2 thanks to an equaliser deep into injury time from Divock Origi....

MONDAY night’s are no time for football. I spent the weekend decorating. Decorating! And people ask why I watch so much football. If that’s the alternative I’ll swap a scraper for a rattle and go to the match until I’m 100. It does liven up the...

TAW contributors with 10 talking points from Liverpool’s 0-0 Premier League draw with Manchester United at Anfield. 1. Loris Low On Confidence? We are going to be arguing about that goalkeeper for quite a while, I think. @Danny_Austin14. The ‘keeper is...

THE worst part about the point is that it feels like Jose Mourinho’s point. I like him. I know you don’t and I know I am not supposed to, but I loved the substitution of Ashley Young at the end of the game. It was needle pure and simple and if caps...

Beat the shite and win the league, well on today’s showing we might struggle. One Phil Coutinho shot aside, we didn’t look like we could break the massed rank of blue-shirted bellends to get a potentially huge three points. Anyway, the ratings –...
