PARTNERSHIPS is a word I have heard a lot on our shows in the last week or two, to the extent that I realised it has somewhat slipped out of vogue. This week on part 1 of the 85-86 version of What We Call History, Mike Nevin spoke as eloquently as ever on the strength...
THE transfer window’s closed then, a crazy period of time when Premier League clubs buying a dozen players and selling a dozen more to try to magically improve results becomes an accepted norm. What has also seemingly become accepted, by the league at least, is...
ALMOST three months ago to the day, I wrote an article looking at the types of signings that had been a success for us in recent(ish) years and whether this could form a strategy for us this summer. If you can’t be bothered reading it again, it concluded, based on...

TENSE at the end that. Tense at the beginning as well, to be honest. With some tense moments in the middle thrown in. But Liverpool Reds 1 Bournemouth Tories 0. And When The Reds Win We All Win — and all that. Here are some footballers and numbers which you...
HANDSOME Emre was a much discussed player among Liverpool fans this summer. Some wanted him straight in the first team on the opening day, believing his power and athleticism were much needed in a side that had finished last season lacking energy and fight. Others...
