THERE is a strong argument that Liverpool had everything, and subsequently nothing to lose in Napoli on Tuesday. A fixture which produced one of last season’s worst displays required no real shot at redemption, given that it was the first group game between the two...
WHAT came first, the chicken or the egg? Just how vast is the galaxy? What is Georginio Wijnaldum? With two late goals for his native Netherlands during the international break against both Germany and Estonia, he has looked every inch the class act he often portrays...
MICHAEL Owen achieved some pretty remarkable feats during his career as a footballer. Winning almost every major honour the club game has to offer — barring a glaring Champions League triumph of which many on Merseyside are only too happy to remind him about — Owen’s...
THE Bobby Duncan situation which exploded on social media yesterday was surprising in a number of ways. From questioning how the situation managed to get to the point it did, to reading words and phrases so unbelievably unprofessional and bordering on farcical you’d...
STREET footballers at an elite level are a joy to behold. Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard were all phenomenally talented players who held an unnerving amount of raw abandon and instinct, honed into them on the streets of Croxteth, Huyton and Salto,...
I’M not sure where Jermaine Jenas has been for the past year. Joe Cole – on the other hand – I can hazard a guess at snazzy tailors which specializes in maroon-tinted suits, or maybe a gastro pub on the West End, telling people how “The Chels” ruled...

ARE you not having fun? How can you not be? This isn’t the current state of mind. I’m on a train from Madrid to Barcelona the morning after watching Liverpool win their sixth European cup. The trophy is intoxicating in its sheer presence. It engulfs you, it is a...
WHAT is momentum? Well, I know what it means in definitive terms. “The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.” Yet in its social format its scope is much broader. Momentum can be a call to arms, the start of an ethical...
THERE are some things you should never look back on. This is a mantra I have embedded as a coping mechanism when it comes to football. There are things I have witnessed in stadiums that I point-blank refuse to watch on a screen in acknowledgement of their gravitas....
Having stabilised their form in the league and put themselves firmly back in the pack chasing Champions League qualification, despite some questionable performances, Liverpool head into Spring with a favourable run of fixtures, can the Reds build on their momentum as business end of the season edges closer?
Rob Gutmann hosts Neil Atkinson, Beth Lindop and Ian Salmon.
