THIS week on The Anfield Wrap, we’ve been recording the summer transfer game. Neil presents us with a list of names and prices for ins and outs, and we get to pretend to be Jürgen Klopp for a fleeting hour. They’re good fun and always give an insight into where people...
MY city, my people, my heart. I was OK, I’d held it together last night until a certain point. It wasn’t the lift, Kenny or seeing them on The Kop. It was when Jamie Webster’s latest single, This Place, played out in a special video from Sky. It made me stop, it made...
IT’S only a few days away now. On Wednesday evening Jordan Henderson will get his hands on the Premier League trophy, all wrapped in red, and lift it high above his head to mark the end of an agonising wait. The title will once again reside at Anfield. It will be...
