ENGLAND have done it again. Roy Hodgson has succeeded in what he does best. In a highly favourable looking group, England have still contrived to finish second best, behind Wales. Tepid, turgid football, characterised by dominating the ball against meagre opponents...
TWO years ago, a big group of us went to Brazil for the World Cup. I might have mentioned it. We had such a great time, we were determined to head over to Euro 2016 in France, to take part in another carnival of football. A nice weekend in the South of France was...
Our special show on the Euro 2016, a look at who is impressing, what games were tactically fascinating, great goals, and good laughs at the summer tournament. We’ll have guests from across the country and beyond. Hosted by Neil Atkinson with Glenn Price and John...

DURING the football season itself — when Liverpool FC are my first, last and always — I have zero interest in international football. It is only a needless distraction from the main event. An interloper in a perfectly sufficient festival of red-rooted...
LAST day of term. Farewell to Anfield for the summer. It’s been a strange year with the old ground. She’s put us through the mixer for half the time, but come good in the end. Anfield never lets you down for too long. Eventually Anfield becomes Anfield again,...
I HAD every intention of using this column to write about our current songbook this weekend; a critical analysis of the songs that are in heavy rotation and a reflection on the impact they are having on the atmosphere in the ground. There was going to be a big section...
