Liverpool have had their fair share of bad luck this season but, as Karl Coppack suggests, The Reds can use that adversity to fuel their fire… THERE’S a scene in an episode of The Simpsons where Mr Burns weighs up the chances of his company’s softball...
I’D forgotten all about anger. The aftermath of the Villa game had nothing to do with being angry. In my house at least it was met with confusion. How did we manage to fail so spectacularly? We’d still have been battered even if we discounted their spawny deflected...
I’VE just finished reading George Orwell’s Keep the Aspidistra Flying. Set in the 1930s, it concerns a poet called Gordon Comstock who declares war on the ‘money god’ which dominates the world. He refuses a well-paid job writing ludicrous advertising copy and instead...
