THERE was something about that timing, wasn’t there? Just when we (me, and everyone I know anyway) needed a bit of lift from the despair of what has unfolded in the last 24 hours, up pops Big Jürgen; a knowing look on his face, a soft smile – like he wanted to give us...
AFTER the glory of lifting European Cup number six in Madrid in June – coupled with gathering a club-record 97 points in the Premier League – many predicted Liverpool would turn to the transfer market with the star shining so brightly. Use the position of strength as...
TO the uneducated eye it was just another late substitution to see out time. Gerard Houllier’s Liverpool were cruising to a 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Anfield, with Tony Parkes’ side firmly lodged at the bottom of the league having won only two of their 14...

THE International Slavery Museum may not be the most obvious place to start a piece for a football website, but stick with it. I’d been to the museum at Liverpool’s Albert Dock before, but not for a long time. Recently, I went there with my children. The stories...
SINCE Liverpool last played a match, Trent Alexander-Arnold has celebrated another birthday. He turned 21 two days after the 2-1 victory over Leicester. It’s an age when elders traditionally handed over a key to the door. An age when it becomes legal to drink alcohol...
ONE of the endearing features of the classic film Back To The Future is that once Marty McFly has seen how things could unfold in an alternative reality, he’s more appreciative of what he’s got around him in the here and now. Jürgen Klopp’s four-year anniversary at...
