ON Sunday morning, as I readied myself to be put through the wringer of the Merseyside Derby, I allowed my mind to drift to an idea for an article I had been turning over for a few weeks. Next week will mark five years since New England Sports Ventures, now Fenway...

QUIETLY, in the background, it is building. While the focus is on the potential exit of Brendan Rodgers, work has begun on a different Liverpool outgoing. With most stood at the front door waiting for a new manager to come in, the stories of Philippe Coutinho being...

BY now you know the stats. The facts and figures. You’ve seen the league table and you know the form. It’s been an underwhelming start to the season. In seven games in all competitions, Liverpool have managed only five goals. The manager is the favourite to ‘win’ the...

I HAD promised myself the summer off. No football, no Under 21s, no Women’s World Cup, no transfer rumours. Nothing. But then I read Paul Little’s piece about the reality of supporting Liverpool FC and I felt the need to reply. Firstly, it’s a gutsy piece. It’s not...
