SECOND half Liverpool remembered they were Liverpool. Everton were left with the stark reality of being Everton. Redshite that sentence? Perhaps. But this is what happened. One football side expressed superiority over the other and that superiority drained and drained...

TOP fucking that. Simon Mignolet: 10 Could have been N/A. Had nothing to do against the shite. Nathaniel Clyne: 10 Provided an outlet constantly out wide. Hardly ever gets caught out of position. Fucking boss, isn’t he? Dejan Lovren: 10 Absolutely class. Bossed...

1995: It’s ages ago that, isn’t it? I mean really, think about it. What were you doing in 1995? How old were you? I was 15 and I was a bit of a farce. Britpop hadn’t really taken hold, New Labour was in its infancy — two years away from government. That...

AHEAD of Liverpool’s trip to Goodison Park we spoke to Lydia Bleasdale-Hill to get the lowdown on Everton. Everton were on a poor run heading into the game against Arsenal, has that win given fans more confidence about the rest of the season? Yes and no, as far...

I’VE been stoically putting up with an acute bacterial infection of the tear duct in my left eye for best part of a year now. It alternates between feeling dried out, as if it’s been bathed in a bag of stinging salt, and then later sopping wet and flooding like a...

MIDDLESBROUGH. Eight-seater car. By Wednesday morning, that is about as far as we got. No-one seems to know who is driving or really how far Middlesbrough is. Mick Clarke reckons it’s “only two hours”, but he also wears shorts in November, so his...

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...

The Reds, then. Are you excited about the Reds yet? Neil wrote in his match review that this Liverpool side was all about winning the league and I think that’s true. Last night was a demonstration of ambition. Of determination. More than that, though, it was a...

BOUNCING. Absolutely bouncing. Everyone around me, bouncing out of the Riverside after Liverpool scored three goals against Middlesbrough and conceded none. Afterwards, the Liverpool squad came over and showed their appreciation and had that appreciation returned to...

OH when the Reds. We all turned up nervous, worried, doubting. The lads in the bright shirts had other ideas. They put the ball in the goal and discussed their options later. They all say our days are numbered. Simon Mignolet: 10 A MIGNOLET, A MIGNOLET, A MIGNOLET, A...
