THIS is the one we’ve waited for. Like a beacon at the end of the diary. The year ends with Manchester City at home. Big game, big day, big drink, big everything. There was a lot of talk of it making or breaking a night. I was more worried about starting 2017...

A VERY different sort of win, but isn’t that what we craved? Backs to the wall. Resolute. The Reds don’t mind it up ’em. Throw the kitchen sink and we’ll volley it over the gasworks. Unlucky, you Manc bastards. Have a go next year. Simon...

INTERNATIONAL breaks are good for pretty much nothing, but sometimes you’ll find positives out of them. From a personal point of view I put in a full weekend in work which always looks good to do from time to time, well in to the great lads at Sky who are letting me...

THINK back to Tottenham away last season, it’s a huge compliment to Jürgen Klopp that his aura and reputation went before him and had such a positive impact on the players. It’s easy to take that for granted when a new manager comes in. It took him so little time...

DID you listen to The Pink — TAW’s post-match reaction show — immediately after the Borussia Dortmund match at Anfield? If you did, you probably remember hearing that John Gibbons took his top off and started whirling it over his head (if you...
