AS the temperature dropped from late summer to midwinter, without hesitating for a second to remember that there’s a little thing called autumn, I retreated indoors to spend the weekend binge watching series two of Stranger Things, interrupted only to see the Mighty...

LAST week we weren’t happy with Jürgen Klopp and his gang of defeated urchins. This week Klopp wasn’t happy with us and our gaggle of silent urchins. Thankfully the team on the pitch won comfortably, but we got absolutely slaughtered by Huddersfield Town in the fan...

THERE was something almost comforting about Jürgen Klopp’s demeanour on the touchline at Wembley yesterday. As his Liverpool side were getting picked apart by Tottenham Hotspur like a cruel child pulling the legs off a spider in between licks of an ice cream, the...

I DIDN’T see the game on Tuesday night. I was otherwise engaged, but as ever when I can’t watch the game live, I spend 90 minutes constantly refreshing Twitter to see how things are going. The first 65 minutes went like this: “Liverpool have started brightly.” “The...
