IT is a good job I didn’t write this immediately after the match. I was furious and frustrated. Furious for all the reasons you’d be furious: Liverpool not capitalising on their dominance, being weak as kittens in defence in key moments. Basically what we...
LIVERPOOL 2-1 ARSENAL (Alonso 37, Mellor 90+2; Vieira 57) “MELLOR… My goodness. Where did that come from? The right foot of Neil Mellor… it’s probably the last kick of the game.” Scarcely believable as it is but the footage of a fresh faced Neil Mellor unleashing an...
I MIGHT be guilty of over-doing the Ray Kennedy stuff. There will be mates of mine who are cackling at that sentence. Might be? I’ll come clean. I’m more than guilty. I never shut up about him. Growing up, Ray was my favourite player. Kenny came close and...
By Amy Lawrence WALKING up Wembley way, en route to an FA Cup semi-final in an all-seater stadium for an all-ticket match, it was impossible not to take a moment to look back. What have you done in the last 25 years? I left school, got a degree, landed a series of...

WOULD you swap a win here for three in the league? Would you rest Suarez and Sturridge? It’s only the FA Cup… I want Liverpool to win everything. Every game. Every cup; from The Liverpool Senior Cup to The Champions League. I want silverware tied up in red and white,...
by RILEY BEVERIDGE EVEN accounting for rising inflation, £93 should cover the majority of necessities. Maybe it will supply you with groceries for a month, or petrol for a fortnight. It’s a sum that will accommodate most aspects of everyday life – apart from football....
by STEVEN SCRAGG IT WAS around 23 minutes into proceedings at Anfield. I took a glance to my left and puffed out my cheeks, eyes wide and in all likelihood pupils dilated as it washed over me just what I’d witnessed unfold in a remarkable opening 20 minutes against...
