IT’S a funny old game. After the media had spent the week laughing at Jürgen Klopp for mentioning the wind as a factor in Liverpool’s 0-0 draw at Everton, it was somewhat ironic that they spent this weekend going “blimey, the wind’s affecting things a bit here”....
I’M starting to go off Sundays, to be honest. The last two have produced the same bright mornings and shiny optimism of what may lie ahead, only to be doused by the waters of disappointment as Liverpool fail to win away to a bitter rival, allowing said rivals – and...
SOMETIMES, you play the game out beforehand in your head. You don’t particularly want to, but you can’t help it. You’re doing the shopping, travelling to work, pretending to listen to your boss, your mind wanders, thinking about the big game, imagining what might...

I HAVE often questioned the “is the glass half full or half empty?” proverb. Mostly because I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “half empty” in any other context. I’m not convinced it’s a real saying, like Fred Astaire suggesting that some people pronounce potato...

ANOTHER weekend, another Liverpool victory. Maybe that line doesn’t scan given the 1-0 win at Brighton and Hove Albion followed back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup, but I stand by it. It was another of a certain kind of...
IT was a brilliant 2018 for Liverpool. The first half saw them reach the Champions League final in thrilling fashion, while the second half was made up of charging to the front of the Premier League pack. A week into 2019 and they’ve suffered two defeats, one to their...
