Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 3

Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 3

WE walk to the ground full of hope, predictions are flying around on the scorelines and they are mostly in favour of The Reds. We do this more based on positivity than logic. Its simply more fun to go to a game thinking you are going to win. But its also based on past...

NEIL ATKINSON is joined by Mike Nevin, Steve Graves and Rob Gutmann to discuss Gerrard’s big move, Jordan’s big bollocking and a big, big three points Download Issue 12 of #TAW Monthly via iTunes or at app.theanfieldwrap.com for other devices. Like what we...
AND HERE’S TO YOU JORDAN HENDERSON

AND HERE’S TO YOU JORDAN HENDERSON

NOBODY likes to admit they’re wrong do they? So hard nosed and infallible are people’s opinions on football – and I am of course generalising here – that perhaps many are afraid such an admission will destroy their reputation and credibility as a voice,...
MIGHTY RED – WHY HE’S NOT FOR US

MIGHTY RED – WHY HE’S NOT FOR US

EVERYONE remembers their first game don’t they? I think I’ve told you mine but I’ll tell you again. May 1990, I’d just turned 8 years old, and my dad had two tickets for Liverpool vs QPR at Anfield. When he showed me them they may as well have...

FOOTBALL: VICE, VICE (CAPTAIN) BABY

WITH the departure of Daniel Agger back to Brondby we asked a few Anfield Wrap regulars to make their case as to who should replace the Dane as vice-captain. NEIL ATKINSON – GLEN JONO I’M A GLEN JOHNSON man. I’m also a Jordan Henderson man but you...
LIVERPOOL: LUCAS AND GERRARD – STOP IT, BRENDAN

LIVERPOOL: LUCAS AND GERRARD – STOP IT, BRENDAN

ACCENTUATE the positives, eliminate the negatives. That’s exactly what Liverpool did during the second half of last season. Brendan Rodgers’ team was far from perfect during 2013-14 but – crucially – as the season went on he got them focused on what they could do...

THURSDAY NIGHT IS ALRIGHT FOR TALKING

EVENING all. On Thursday me and John are launching our book along with our many contributors. A wonderful group of people. We will be talking aloud for a while mostly about football and then Silent Sleep will play some lovely music. We’re proud of the book. We...

This Is Our Concern, Dude

By David Lynch I DIDN’T WORRY at all last summer. Nope. The ‘Great Spurs Splurge of 2013’ never once raised even mild trepidation in me. Back then, we were regularly informed that Tottenham had constructed a team to end Liverpool’s top four...
THE SEASON THAT WAS: SOME FORGOTTEN GEMS

THE SEASON THAT WAS: SOME FORGOTTEN GEMS

ARE you missing them yet? I know I am. Life isn’t quite the same without a Liverpool game to look forward to at the weekend. This imminent World Cup can’t come – and go – quickly enough as far as I’m concerned. Forget Roy Hodgson and the Three Lions, I...
