A QUARTER-FINAL tie at Anfield looms large. A breather from the breathless chase for the title. The last eight and, by common consensus, the best draw Liverpool could have hoped for. And yet, the story around The Reds’ European Cup foray of 2018-19 feels like a...
IS there a noun for feeling simultaneously excited at the prospect of an event and yet dreading it in equal measure? The Germans surely have such a word. This is all Liverpool games for me now. This my life. It is hard, without the benefit of hindsight, to appreciate...
IF the Premier League insist on inscribing “Lucky Liverpool” on their trophy next month, I don’t suppose it will spoil the title celebrations for any of you. Champions are rarely popular. They are never lucky. Liverpool got a little lucky just before...
I READ the news today, oh boy. Seriously though, have you read it? And I don’t mean the April Fools stuff. Try the football. It’s glorious. This game brings with it many joys, and few are as good as a probably undeserved, and definitely very lucky, last-minute own...
