IN a surprisingly relaxed press briefing earlier this week, and with the return of Rafa Benitez on the horizon, Jürgen Klopp was predictably asked his opinion on a man still held in the highest regard by most Liverpool fans. And the German couldn’t have been more...
FOOTBALL’S a bit of a mad one, isn’t it? The tricks it can play on you, the anxieties it can bring out despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the way it’ll make you reach for straw of despair and yet keep you hoping for the impossible. I’m not having it...
