A SECOND successive Champions League group stage win over Midtjylland would be no small thing for Liverpool. The diminutive Danes may not have the stature of most we encounter in the competition, but any kind of win at this level is no minor achievement. Other...
WHAT are you doing Satdee evening? Yeah? Me too. Cannot think of a better Saturday night out/in/out/shake-it-all-about than one spent watching Liverpool. Especially in the wake of a win. May the game itself never start, but the anticipation of it last for all time....

WE’RE just a game into the new campaign and already we’ve got a season on our hands. Liverpool opened with a wild 4-3 win over Leeds in a game that provided ample ammunition for whatever opinion anyone could choose to hold about this current Liverpool team. What...
LET me be weak, let me sleep and dream of sheep,Oh I’ll wake up to any sound of engines,Every gull a seeking craft,I can’t keep my eyes open,Wish I had my radio…(‘Dream of Sleep’ – Kate Bush 1985) IF you can sleep tonight, you’re a fridge. No backs....
