DOES it always come to this? Or does it just feel like it does? A season on that infernal precipice yet again. It won’t hit us for a few weeks that we’re out of all the cups. Just wait till late February, though, when we realise we’ve only seen Liverpool play three...

I’VE just had a look at the weekend’s fixtures. I already knew Chelsea were at Crystal Palace, but seeing their early Saturday kick-off time heard an expletive trip off my lips. Potentially, that means Chelsea could be nine points clear before the weekend and...

I’M typing this before kick-off on Sunday morning on the hottest train in Europe to watch the Mighty Reds in town. You forget that during a season like this one every game becomes massive. A must win game. The nerves creep up on you from nowhere. On Saturday I...
