IT’S silly season again. The Reds are being linked with every YouTube all-star and Bundesliga wonderkid under the sun, while Twitter has already seen its fair share of meltdowns over ‘missed’ targets that they heard about in the pub. However, there...
IT’S silly season. That’s what everyone calls the period in between the end of the last campaign and — at the very least — the release of the fixtures for the next one. This summer we’ve also got the Euros to distract us, so maybe that will help some...
SO the season is over and we have all gone on holiday. Kind of. I stopped thinking about the Reds for about six hours on Saturday morning. I’m in pre-season mode now — wishing Wimbledon would hurry up and piss off and all them boring arse Tories would go...

IT’S easy to name signings Liverpool have made over the last few years that we immediately felt the need to try to justify, writes NEIL DOCKING. There are those of us who are naturally more sceptical and emphatically voice reservations about a player from day...
SUMMER. I love it. As much as Kanye adores Kanye. Probably more (if that’s possible). But if heat is the dog’s dingly-danglies, hot air is its diarrhoea that you have to scoop up. And it’s everywhere. Especially on Twitter. You’ll find truck loads of it there. There...
