SURELY we have to beat Wolves. Surely. My dad says he is picking me up “between 10:45 and 11″. Which is a tricky one. For my mates this would be 11:15. But my dad is more punctual. He predictably arrives at 10:46. I’m predictably wearing a towel. A...

IT was May 3, 2005. I was 24, about to turn 25, and had spent my whole life being regaled with stories told by older Liverpool fans about great league and European Cup victories down the years. I was 10 when we last won the league and remembered nothing of it. I was...

I CRACKED a bit on Wednesday. Which was problematic because I cracked a lot on Saturday. There isn’t that much more to crack. I realised I’d cracked when I dropped to my knees on the aisle and slapped the concrete repeatedly after Daniel Sturridge’s...

HERE are some funny things that happened on Saturday: 1) I’d been quite sensible on Friday night. I went to a brilliant gig, with Dream Wife being supported by Her’s and Haarm, but was tucked up in bed by 12am. It’s still a rush for a 12.30pm...

AS I write this it’s 9.30am on Wednesday. The Liverpool team and coaching staff will be on their way to Plymouth for tonight’s match, but I don’t care. I know loads of people do and that’s fine. I didn’t want us to actively lose, I just didn’t care one way or the...

THIS is the one we’ve waited for. Like a beacon at the end of the diary. The year ends with Manchester City at home. Big game, big day, big drink, big everything. There was a lot of talk of it making or breaking a night. I was more worried about starting 2017...

WEEKS before this. This: What a game this will be. Two sides who will want to play and be able to play without fear. First vs second or third. A close affair to see in the New Year. Can’t wait to take it to them. Stick it to them. Show them who is better. Should...

BOXING Day was a bit rubbish, wasn’t it? Footy-wise at least, all the eating and drinking was sound. But no Liverpool game and having to sit there watching everyone else win, even bloody Everton and they’re shite, was a bit galling. Well. We know what to...

AS we approach the halfway mark of the Premier League season with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City next up at Anfield on New Year’s Eve, Liverpool have recorded their joint highest ever points total from the first 18 matches of the season, already hitting the 40-point...

I’M penning this note on Boxing Day 2016. George Michael is dead. Rick Parfitt is dead. And Bobby Firmino’s been busted on a DUI. To put a top hat on it all, there’s no game today. It feels like the end of days. It’s been over a fortnight since Anfield was last...
