LIKE a lot of people, I’ve been enjoying the new Planet Earth series on BBC One. If I feel half as relieved when Liverpool win the league as I did when that little lizard made it away from those snake bastards the other week then I’ll be surprised. It’s made me...
WE decided to ask Anfield Wrap contributors what they would do this summer with clubs that weren’t their own; how they would resurrect Aston Villa? How can Arsenal make the next step? Who would you hire and who would you fire? Each got to advise, be...
NEIL ATKINSON was joined by Dan Vincent, John Gibbons and Jonathan Northcroft for a rather deflated free podcast after Liverpool contrived to throwaway a two-goal lead against Southampton. The group chat about why they think Liverpool collapsed so badly in the space...
BEING brutally honest with you I’m not entirely sure where to start with that one. Liverpool were simply so dominant but every change made Liverpool weaker while every change made Southampton stronger. Normally you walk out of away grounds and just keep your...
HOW annoying. At half-time we are all laughing and joking and picturing Flanno lifting the Premier League trophy in 2017. At full time we’ve thrown it away, a limp second-half performance that only looked like finishing one way after The Saints equalised. For...

Stonehenge Where the dogs bark and the cats meow I will take you there I will show you how – D. St. Hubbins, Spinal Tap 1981 STONEHENGE is on the way to Southampton. Just outside Salisbury. It takes forever to get from Liverpool to Southampton so you look for...
THIS is the problem. Or this is a problem. One of the two. Whichever it is, the problem is this: I can’t get anything done. I mean, I get days like this sometimes — I presume we all do — where the things that we’re supposed to be doing seem...
THERE was no Philippe Coutinho, Nathaniel Clyne or Mamadou Sakho. Roberto Firmino, Christian Benteke, Simon Mignolet and James Milner were not needed off the bench. There were five changes to the starting line-up that scorched Manchester City, and yet, Liverpool still...
MISSED the first few minutes because I was in a band rehearsal that over-ran (Amsterdam, Saturday night, Arts Club, bring your friends). Hearing Liverpool had gone down after 40 seconds was hardly the news I wanted. Watching the next 15 minutes didn’t exactly...
