THERE are many things about at the moment that have this feeling of inevitability. The English moaning about the good weather, tennis players beating tennis players who aren’t as good as them at tennis, and the transfer of Christian Benteke from Aston Villa to...
SO it seems Liverpool are on the verge of signing Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino. As a self-confessed football hipster, I’m punching the air/cat in delight. At the time of writing, Sky Sports News are parading Liverpool’s agreement with Hoffenheim for...
AFTER what has felt like months of speculation (it’s been two-and-a-half weeks…), the manager situation has finally been put to bed. Brendan Rodgers will remain as Liverpool boss… for now. There had apparently been leaks of information —...

BY now I’m sure you’ve read Neil Atkinson’s terrific piece on midfield maestro and genuine Welshman Joe Allen. In it, Neil mentions that Allen divides opinion, and in the interest of backing that up, here’s the other side. If you are a...
