TERRY’S header hits the net and Steve Graves turns to me and says: “What next?” What next indeed. What the hell next? What could be next? A wrecking ball sweeping through the boozer. A personalised rainstorm like in The Truman Show following you...
I GEGGED in to a conversation on the train on Saturday. Heading to Anfield for the QPR game, three lads were discussing the Mayweather v Pacquiao fight — or more specifically the estimated $300million (£198m) purse and Mayweather’s 60 per cent share of it win,...
NEIL ATKINSON, Melissa Reddy and Jim Boardman go through the game against QPR with obvious focus on Gerrard and the importance of being bold. It’s The Anfield Wrap on your Bank Holiday Monday. Direct Link – PODCAST:ONE FINAL PUSH?/a> Podcast RSS...
COUTINHO swings it in and he rises resplendent, red resplendent, and he nods it across goal and it is there, it is there, and we are there and I surge forward and fall backwards and I am seven and I am just in awe of this hero; of this man who has gone and done the...

NEIL ATKINSON was joined by Adam Smith, Gareth Roberts and Ben Johnson for Monday’s regular Anfield Wrap podcast. The lads talk about Steven Gerrard’s LFC Foundation match on Sunday and the return to Anfield of some past heroes, including the crowd’s...
I’M not sure why I’m here today. What exactly is this game? I’m broadly aware there’s a charity involved. Hasn’t Gerrard already had a testimonial? I’ve heard some people refer to it as “the Gerrard memorial game”, but...
