IT took nearly 30 seconds. Practically the moment that the final whistle blew on Sunday lunchtime’s capitulation, my Twitter timeline kicked into life. Suddenly, I was seeing Twitter screenshots of an article that I wrote here back in August (“We Will Win The League...

SINCE my dad did his fatherly duty and ensured that I cared more about watching football than I did watching cartoons (“You’re 27 for fuck sake!”), I have suffered plenty of heartache. In fact, as my morning has largely been spent trying to figure out just who the...

IN April 1990, Liverpool beat QPR 2-1 at Anfield. A John Barnes penalty won the game and, by extension, the league with two games to go to finally see off the threat of – yes – Aston Villa. All wrapped up to the extent that Kenny brought himself off the bench for the...

HUNG on at the whistle. Hung on to give one more ‘is right’ and one more ‘cop for that’ and one more ‘up the Reds’. Hung on to see the manager and the captain in the middle of the pitch and to see them give it the big one, and I...
