THERE we go then on the Newstalk website. Philippe Coutinho. Too lightweight and like a schoolboy. It’s immediately tiring, but it does need to be said that the diminutive Brazilian isn’t above criticism and that he was both poor and a dope — a big,...
AN ARTIST recently approached me on Lark Lane asking me who the next Liverpool legend was. This is actually true, these things happen if you hang around Lark Lane too much. He likes painting cultural icons in a classical style. He’s the fella who did John Lennon...

IT’S not eloquent, and it’s not inventive, but sometimes the ‘ooooohs’ and ‘aaahhhhs’ are the only things that suffice, writes MELISSA REDDY. The tap of superlatives runneth dry, and you’re fresh out of smart 140-character odes. You look around the ground, at...
AFTER Liverpool’s terrific 2-1 home victory against Manchester City a somewhat hoarse Neil Atkinson is joined on this week’s podcast by Steve Graves, Jay McKenna and Phil Blundell to talk about how good Joe Allen was and how odd Manchester City...
