I’D warmed up for Plymouth by doing a mixture of watching and listening to Lincoln v Ipswich the night before. Great, wasn’t it? Full house, good footy, great ending. A journeyman striker, who was paid for by a crowdfunding scheme, becomes a hero. The BBC...
Mike Nevin reflects on why opposing fans hate Liverpool so much after the reds FA Cup tie vs Plymouth Argyle where anti-scouse songs rang around the Home Park. I MANAGED to get myself really wound up while watching the Plymouth cup replay in midweek. What irked me...
WHERE’S the balance for this? Where is the tone? Because it is the rhetoric which tends to let these affairs down. For all the talk of the magic of the cup, and while acknowledging that tonight was a significant game for Plymouth Argyle and for two or three...
GOD, I don’t half feel sorry for Gibbons, although I’m sure he’s had a great time. Hard watching that. Anyway, the ratings… Loris Karius: 6 Good, strong hand on a long range effort in the first half that had ‘upset’ written all over...
PRETTY dull that, wasn’t it? Liverpool got their goal and then created little else. The senior players didn’t really lead the young lads, in fact Harry Wilson and Sheyi Ojo look the most likely once they came on. Not So Unlucky Lucas Lucas Leiva scored his...

I’M alright with this tie having gone to a replay. The Plymouth people notwithstanding, I suspect I’m in a small demographic. Most fellow Reds I’m talking to are seeing this fixture as something of a hindrance. They’re very wrong about this. The reasons...
I REMEMBER 1986 for two reasons, writes IAN RYAN. It was a World Cup year — a tournament which introduced me to famous names such as Careca, Voller and Butragueno, while giving me my first taste of England failing gloriously at a major tournament, this time at...
‘LIVERPOOL Football Club exists to win trophies’. That’s the old adage, first espoused by Bill Shankly back in the 1960s. I completely agree. I also agree with a lot of what Phil Blundell wrote in his piece yesterday. Jürgen Klopp was right to go with a strong line-up...
I GENUINELY love the FA Cup. It’s my first footballing memory. I remember being five and watching Michael Thomas and Ian Rush bag Liverpool the cup against Sunderland in 1992. I remember being gutted in 1996 when Eric Cantona bagged a late winner. I celebrated Michael...
