WELL, that hurt. If you’re going to go down to 10 men against anyone, then it’s probably best not to do so against a Pep Guardiola team. Only a few weeks ago Everton had an extra man against them and still got completely dominated in the second half. Make no mistake,...

LIVERPOOL absolutely tore Arsenal apart at Anfield, again. It’s becoming a regular occurrence, but no less pleasurable to witness. Yes, the Gunners had their problems with their midfielders deciding that defending was an optional extra, and Arsene Wenger’s bizarre...

LIVERPOOL are back in the Champions League. Where this club belongs. Anfield deserves to host it. Jürgen Klopp deserves to manage in it. These players deserve to play in it. We deserve to watch it. And it will, and it will, and he will, and they will… and we will. I...

OH European nights, how I’ve missed you. The lights, the songs, the inexplicably terrible officiating that almost makes you pine for the grandiose ‘Blue Steel’ pout of Mike Dean. That and The Reds winning again. Could have done without three individual brainfarts from...

NEW season, same old heart attacks, fear, excitement, joy and crushing disappointment. Thanks a lot for coming back Redmen. I was just starting to become a normal human being again. That was poor from Liverpool. Whether it had anything to do with the selfish acts of...

IT’S transfer season, which means excitement, anticipation, theorising, frustration, fear and mild Twitter addiction. After a slow start by all, deals are happening all over the place now. Even my work team have just had a star striker poached for an upcoming summer...

SO here it is. An entire season comes down to this. It may not be the prize we were all dreaming of when Gini Wijnaldum slammed home number six against Watford in November, but it nonetheless represents an advancement of this football team and the next stage in Jürgen...

PHEW! Liverpool’s insistence on never having a two-goal cushion is a controversial one, but if it leads to enough points to get us over the Champions League line then I’ll take another three games of not being able to sit down. Three points closer. Get in!...

AS with the appearance of Christmas pap in the shops in August, and Easter Eggs in January, the start of transfer rumour silly season seems to get earlier and earlier each year. It’s not even May yet and already people seem fairly certain they’ve got Jürgen Klopp’s...

SATURDAY was enjoyable, for obvious reasons. After days of questioning just how attached my head was following the announcement of Everton’s plans for the Joe-Max Moore stadium (or whatever it’s called), to beat the Toffees in a relatively simple fashion was sweet....
