THESE two statements are equally true: Liverpool had the hardest of hard lines Liverpool were lucky to take a point from the game. It was a crazy evening at Anfield with Liverpool spending much of the game either acting — or being — second best. Second...
“If you can’t make decisions in life, you’re a bloody menace. You’d be better becoming an MP.” ON a day when the great Bill Shankly has been the subject of much discussion amongst the Liverpool faithful, this particular quote felt quite apt in the...
