THERE was a golden moment in the first half that will stay with me for a long time. We were all singing Poor Scouser Tommy – the everyday story of a dying soldier pronouncing his love of Liverpool FC while lying supine and injured when you’d forgive him for...
SOMETIMES, there’s no harm in admitting that the opposition just played better. It hurts and can only be said through gritted teeth, but it’s true. Liverpool v Man Utd is usually a war of attrition rather than an exhibition of pure football and Sunday’s bunfight was...
I’M not falling for it. Liverpool’s next opponents currently sit in 12th place with nine points having won just twice this season. The opening eight games represent their worst ever start in Premier League history. Their last away win came at Selhurst Park back in...
JÜRGEN Klopp will tell you it means nothing. That’s where we and he differ. While the manager will be looking at the next three points rather than where Adama Traore’s late salvo puts the title race, we can’t stop looking at the league table and wishing it was early...

WHEN is an unbeaten run not an unbeaten run? While Liverpool stand at 14 straight victories in the Premier League since the latter end of last season, the defeat in Naples brings with it a sense of a return to Earth. That’s by no means a bad thing. Two-nil flattered...
A CALL has been made for fans attending this Saturday’s game with Newcastle to show their support for local merchants and vendors by wearing their merchandise. This has nothing to do with an attack on the club, though many may see it as that. There will be no walkout...
AND so the records fall. Liverpool’s dismantling of Burnley saw Jürgen Klopp’s men record their 13th successive league win and thus surpass Kenny Dalglish’s record of 12 from 1990. Afterwards, the manager claimed that he had no idea that the record so much as existed,...
THE acquisition of a sixth European Cup comes not only with a sense of pride and joy for Reds all over the world. It also comes with an Owen-esque hand rubbing from Liverpool’s commercial department with the rumours of a possible switch from New Balance to Nike....
