I’VE gone. I’m a broken man. I wasn’t nervous before West Ham. I honestly wasn’t. In my head I’ve allocated different percentages of nerves to different games and I had West Ham at 10% panic. No (or little) sweat. Yes, there’s the Carroll...
SUNDAY’S 4-0 drubbing of Spurs made it 9-0 on aggregate for the season and sent the Reds back to the top of the table with the title in their own hands – but it’s not the first time Tottenham have been on the wrong side of a thrashing from Liverpool....
THE chippy was shut. That wasn’t good. Everything had to be right and in its place. I’d met my mates, we’d shook hands and we’d discussed who would miss out in the midfield. I was a bit worried about the lack of Allen and felt that Coutinho...

THE latest application from the South Yorkshire Police to receive public funds to meet legal costs of the new Hillsborough inquest has been met with disdain amongst Liverpool fans. The families themselves received no such monies during their long fight for justice so...
This has been an extraordinary season. Logic and order have taken a back seat as we’ve rode the steepest of roller coasters. A flying start, a rival bested early on, the routine hammering of the dross, two narrow defeats against title contenders and the utter...
THIS is not The Old Trafford Wrap. I appreciate that. Yes, I know there’s the ‘who is obsessed with who’ thing going on but this is a special case. It’s not often you get to write about United having a poor season so I’m grasping the nettle while it’s available. I...
