LIVERPOOL FANS: IT’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU

https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldGlory/status/511972310530928640 https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldGlory/status/510859691770273792 I’M sorry, but you’ve driven me to this. I don’t want to shout but I’ve really got to say something. Something about Liverpool fans....
THE TRAGEDY OF FERNANDO TORRES

THE TRAGEDY OF FERNANDO TORRES

FERNANDO Torres is about to pack his bags and head off to Italy. He’ll leave a rich man, he’ll leave with almost every honour in the game and, if he has any humanity, he’ll leave with a sense of waste. He’ll be replaced at Chelsea by a man who failed a medical at...
DALGLISH – THE KOP GETS ITS KING

DALGLISH – THE KOP GETS ITS KING

LIVERPOOL manager Bob Paisley paid a British record £440,000 to bring Kenny Dalglish south from Celtic. As a player at Anfield, Kenny won six league titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, three European Cups and one Super Cup. It’s widely recognised as the best...
KENNEDY: STILL A RAY OF SUNSHINE

KENNEDY: STILL A RAY OF SUNSHINE

I MIGHT be guilty of over-doing the Ray Kennedy stuff. There will be mates of mine who are cackling at that sentence. Might be?  I’ll come clean. I’m more than guilty. I never shut up about him. Growing up, Ray was my favourite player. Kenny came close and...
THE SUMMER OFF (WE GO AGAIN)

THE SUMMER OFF (WE GO AGAIN)

IT WASN’T always this way, but I enjoy the end of a season these days. Maybe it’s age or the effect of non-football life washing over me, but I’m glad of the rest. People often draw the analogy of your club being akin to a high-maintenance girlfriend...
FERNANDO MORIENTES BROKE MY HEART

FERNANDO MORIENTES BROKE MY HEART

DOES anyone remember Clubcall? I don’t know if it’s still going but I used to ring it when I was at work. It was a phone service which gave you club rumours and interviews ‘direct from Anfield’. I can still remember the opening bars and a...

Ghana (I): And Now You’re Ghana Believe Us

IF THINGS are getting easier, maybe you’re headed downhill. – Ghanaian proverb I like this proverb. I like its suggestion that struggling is merely a step on the road to progress and that the easier path isn’t always the right one. Ghana has had its fair share...

More Surprises Please Liverpool

THERE are going to be numerous season reviews following the mighty Reds missing out on the Charity Shield qualifier yesterday but they’ll mostly focus on the individual games, goals and tactics. I’m going to try something a little different as, for me,...

LET’S GET ANGRY

AS The Kop poured into the streets with leaden shoulders and a collective stooped gait, a lone voice roared above the hubbub. ‘Libpool, Libpool – top of the league. Libpool – top of the league.’ It was an act of defiance. It spoke of a heart...

QUESTION TIME

I’M not sure when this started but as the weeks have rolled on I’m relying less on tricky language, pleasing similes and passionate ravings. No. I’ve dropped from the polysyllabic to the monosyllabic to mere grunting in different keys. Iv-a-pool....
