LIVERPOOL buried a ghost this afternoon on the south coast. A big Toxic Thunder-splashed ghost of Christmas past was well and truly consigned along with the memory of Ryan Fraser embodying a combination of Lionel Messi and David Fairclough at the mere sight of a...
I DON’T know about you, but I’m knackered. This glut of games before New Year isn’t even half complete and I’m flagging already. Imbued with Bill Shankly’s notion of “professional” support; pre-match drills, the matches themselves, and even the warm downs involve a...
TWENTY-SEVEN years. The cross we all continue to bear every day of our lives, writes GEORGE BEVAN. At first this seems a rather excessive remark and a statement that can become somewhat tired, particularly when drawled out endlessly regardless of adequate context, yet...
