THERE’S a reason Nike fought so hard for Liverpool. It isn’t just because they’re world, European and soon to be domestic champions. It is because Nike loves the idea of selling fairy tales of achievement, resolve and making the impossible possible. They, therefore,...
I SUPPOSE the question for me is which game this season did I know I was watching champions? Wherever this season eventually leads and whatever asterisk opposition supporters will try to place on it, Liverpool played out almost eight months of football in which they...
LIVERPOOL were going nowhere. There is something about a title-challenging season that tells you things about football support you didn’t know existed. It takes you on a journey, both in a literal and spiritual sense. Sure, we’ve had them in our recent lifetime, but...
I RECENTLY said on an Anfield Wrap Review show that the 2017-18 season might be my favourite under Jürgen Klopp. That’s quite the statement given the highs achieved and still to come, but I stand by it. The sweet-spot moment of football support when you know your team...

I RECKON my early experiences of the match aren’t that typical of a footie-loving lad growing up on Merseyside. Those romantic ideals of dad and lad going to the Liverpool match together, passing down the traditions, sharing the routines, becoming versed in ‘the way’?...
I’M not sure this was my first game. In fact, I’m pretty certain it wasn’t. But rather than subjecting you to a fleeting, millisecond memory of a Graeme Souness side toiling against some claret and blue blur around 1992, I thought I’d recall the first game which...
