YOU trudge out of Wembley. You have a face on. The face on. The face of yours that your loved ones know. It’s the football. It was more than that though, you know. It was the feeling you were part of an eternally losing battle. Against the system. Against the...
THE players and manager deserve great credit to go from Sunday to that. Perhaps the Manchester City players, just like their supporters, failed to turn up. But they are still big and good and need beating — and how they were beaten. The tone was actually set by...
EVENING, everyone. Gareth and Neil have asked me to write a regular column after each match because they probably thought I wasn’t doing enough to earn the “contributes to @theanfieldwrap” line in my Twitter bio. Fair enough, I suppose. The column...
WHERE to start. The match at Wembley has destroyed my week and my life. The pain is too much to bear. I rarely go out these days. I can’t communicate with my family and friends are becoming fading memories. This is all since Sunday tea-time. And then I realise there’s...
I DON’T know about you but I had a great day out. One of them where everything comes off. Our minibus turned up when it was supposed to, the driver wasn’t a Bluenose and he was sound (well in, Paul). We got to London without hitting any traffic, found a...

ON Friday 26th February John Gibbons and Neil Atkinson bring you the day’s LFC news. There has been a Europa League draw and Liverpool got Manchester United. We’re coming round to it. Big games are great. Jurgen Klopp was asked about it too. He had a press...
THESE are the moments. Let’s not deny it to ourselves. Why the game got us. Why we became locked into its ways and wiles. We’re always in it for the prizes. Scaling peaks is what sport is all about. Don’t decry any summit. A challenge is a challenge. We have risen to...
