WE all have to get up and go to work. Later we will go to Anfield for the fourth time 11 days hoping for much, much better. But for now we have to pretend to be normal human beings. With jobs and to-do lists and all that. I get through a surprising amount of mine....

AHEAD of tonight’s title showdown, TAW contributors looked back on eight times Liverpool conquered Chelsea at Anfield. Liverpool 4 Chelsea 2 — October 5, 1997 AH, Paddy Berger. It’s funny how certain players do well against certain clubs. And Paddy seemed...

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...

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...
