WE’RE going to Wembley. Whether we like it or not. I’d rather play at Villa Park, even Old Trafford, but anyway. They don’t involve me in these decisions. Reminder: a 5 is alright. The Reds Are Gnarling Up The Hill Boys. SIMON MIGNOLET: 9 That save...

I TALK to Mick Coyle on his CityTalk show on a Tuesday morning. It’s one of the best things I get to do on a weekly basis. Last Tuesday we spoke about Matthew Crist’s piece on this very website, his ‘manifesto for the modern game’. I spoke...
I’M going to get into the game. But three things I want to bang on about first. 1. Play The Semi Finals At Wembley……if you must. It’s a dreadful affair Wembley. The London night, fractured — the feeling everyone is having more fun. The...
