THERE are games. There are big games. There are iconic games. On Tuesday, Liverpool Football Club takes part in its most iconic game in years. It wasn’t that long ago that people would talk about The Reds as a former force, as a team that was somewhere between the...
WE all offered silent prayers a week ago. Pleas to higher powers not to spoil this for us. We should trust more. I like to keep my expectations modest. A not very wise man once said to me “don’t cry before you’re hurt”. That can fuck right off. I like to...
DEFENDING things like this always come with a caveat so here it is. Throwing bottles in the street is not a good thing. I’m dead against it. Presumably apart from the lads who were doing it, we all are. I’m less concerned about the safety of the Manchester City coach...
THAT contained multitudes. First of all: Don’t say they weren’t rattled. Don’t say it all doesn’t mean something, this thing supporters do. Don’t say that and never say that again. In truth, it took more than some noise. City were...

SOMETHING about these nights, isn’t there? Something that makes you giddy from the minute you get up in the morning. It’s hard to explain. People can poke fun; Evertonians can poke fun, but ask their lads if they were affected by the crowd. They settled quite well,...
LIVERPOOL are in the latter rounds of the Champions League again and have set the stage for another atmospheric European night at Anfield, writes JOEL SANDERSON-MURRAY. It’s been too long, nearly a decade, for a night like this to come along. Anfield has been yearning...
THE buildup to what promises to be a classic of its kind at Anfield has been slightly strange so far to these eyes. Manchester City – despite carrying that name and coming from that place – don’t really generate any kind of raw emotion. They’re from what is...
partisan noun a strong supporter of a party, cause, or person. HERE we are again, Reds. These are my favourites. I’m happy to write about how well Trent Alexander-Arnold has done or why Emre Can’s self belief should be applauded, not derided, but these articles are...
