At around 2 pm on Sunday April 19th 2014, Aston Villa’s players will have looked at the individuals on Liverpool’s team sheet and thought: “You know what? We’re better than these.”
Tim Sherwood will have reinforced this belief, and sent his side out onto the Wembley pitch with plenty of confidence, a clear but simple...
Sunday's FA Cup semi-final seemed to be the perfect opportunity for Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool to answer many questions that had arisen over the course of the season. The pressure was mounting on the Liverpool boss and his neck was firmly on the line. The stage was set, fans had amassed from all over the...
Since Javier Mascherano left Liverpool for pastures new in Spain there has been a gap in the midfield that hasn't really been addressed. We've had the misfortune of seeing the likes of Christian Poulsen, Charlie Adam, Jay Spearing and Lucas Leiva all play that role with varying degrees of influence but they still fell...
It started with Mourinho.
It finished with Sherwood.
There’s a phrase that many seems to have adopted around Liverpool football club; weeks after the initial signs of a gravestone began to manifest itself around the persona of Brendan Rodgers; the term “for whom the bell tolls” seems to hover above his head like a wandering storm;...

It's 19:23 as the Virgin Super Voyager speeds towards Chester. Should I be on this train? Quite frankly no, I had reserved seats on the 21:20 from Euston (sorry Virgin).
How did I get here? Well it all started on Saturday morning with a 4:15am alarm, a quick open of my birthday presents/cards and a 5:50 train to Crewe. After getting on the Virgin Pendolino...
When Valencia’s former manager Juan Antonio Pizzi announced the signing of Rodrigo De Paul last year, he knew what a special player he'd secured for the Bats:
“Rodrigo is the best prospect to come through in Argentina in the last five years. This is great news for Valencia.” “He’s a player who has proven himself...
Villa fans will be making the trip to Wembley with renewed optimism after a surprising 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last time out. There is, however, an element of Jekyll and Hyde with the Midlands club - which side will show up? - the one that battered Sunderland 4-0 or the defensive shambles that...
