It’s another special podcast from The Anfield Wrap. It’s live from the 12-seater luxury minibus which is taking us to the final in Kiev, and we’re getting nostalgic about previous European finals; the stories surrounding the places, the games and the...
I ALLOWED myself to wallow for half an hour on Wednesday night. Immediately after the final whistle, I was overcome by a need to sit down. To sit down and worry about how long it was going to take to get home, how much I had spent in the process to date, whether we...
Gareth Roberts and Jon Jones are uphill and down dale on the road to Basle. Going via Copenhagen they have recorded a little audio diary to get TAW Player subscribers in the mood this morning of the Europa League. Memories of finals past and looking forward to...
OKAY, first things first about Basel. You pass through passport control at the airport. You arrive at a sign. There are flags and colours. Take the left turn and you will end up in Germany or France – in Freiburg or Mulhouse. Take the right turn and you are in...
HERE we go then. Gathering cups in May…hopefully. The waiting is over. The planning done. Put the laptop away and turn off the phone. Christmas-type fervour is in full effect. The Reds are coming up the hill, boys. Liverpool in Europe just feels right. Part of...
I’M NOT going to Basel. A week of tossing and turning. Thrashing in the darkness. Trying to still a restless mind. I’m not going to Basel. I can’t go to Basel. I really wish I was going to Basel. Circumstance is my enemy. You surely know me well enough by now,...

I’M getting bored of the recriminations. It’s easy to talk about whose fault this season is. It’s easy to talk about fixing it with knee-jerk sackings and ‘I never thought he was any good anyway’ tirades. Easy to point out the positions...
THE last time I cracked my fingers and wrote a little piece for The Anfield Wrap I was defending Brendan Rodgers’ team selection and the Reds’ performance in Madrid. It was a positive article backing the manager and trying to silence the naysayers. This...
MUCH of the talk before the game was of Olympiakos and the Road to Istanbul. That team too had stumbled through the group and early season consistencies to see the season explode into life with a swing of Gerrard’s right boot. I’m not sure how the night...
