Last season was a highly successful one for Liverpool on and off the pitch. For supporters there were countless memorable nights and incredible experiences to enjoy. Yet British society has seen an increase in racial tension during this time. In March of this year, a...
AS my Nan might have said, thank Christ for that. It’s funny building up to these things these days. It’s strange being a part of other people’s stories. It’s fascinating meeting you in person and hearing how this impacts your life when we’re all just normal fans...
RECOVERED yet? Sobered up? Stopped being ridiculously dehydrated? Stopped hugging friends? Smiling to random people on the street? Looking at videos of The Reds on Twitter and only stopping to look at The Reds on Instagram? Same, mates. It’s a good job my job is...

WHAT was the image of the summer for you? Xherdan Shaqiri’s acrobatic finish? Mo Salah turning into Bob Latchford in New Jersey? (Ask your grandad.) All the lads bored senseless in the Nascar museum? Curtis Jones strutting around like he owned every place?...
IT’S a good time to be alive, isn’t it? A few days till the league starts and The Reds are all on the karaoke. The Instagram videos of new boys Alisson Becker, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri all having to sing in front of their new teammates, showed just a...
