I’M brimming with something. Not quite confidence. I think it might just be plain old excitement. The Reds aren’t quite on the boil but they continue to simmer nicely. There’s 12 games left and we’ve got ourselves involved in a good, ol’ fashioned run in. I love...
“NEVIN! Where’s your bloody kit?” “Sorry Sir, forgot it (again)”. My classmates trudged off onto the cold, windswept rugby pitch while I tried to avoid a beating. Where school rugby was concerned I was in a state of permanent futuristic forgetfulness and panic,...
“DURING different games, a lot of situations like this happen. “The problem today is that more than this type of situation, I am worried that we are going to change the game that we know, how we know football. “It’s a mix that I am worried that maybe we are going to...

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR are a very decent side. Our encounter with them on Sunday is the 22nd match we have played since they beat us 4-1 at their temporary home of Wembley Stadium back in October. There’s been an ocean flow under a bridge since then. Spurs arrive to...
ANOTHER crazy win? Nope, far from it. Very much far from it. Sanity abounded in Liverpool’s performance, in the setup, in the game management. Liverpool went through the gears against Huddersfield almost at will but what’s noticeable is that the opening...
