There isn’t much to be said for getting old.
As the years roll by certain truisms land and hit you in the solar plexus. For example, it is looking increasingly unlikely that I'll ever play centre mid for Liverpool. Oh, don’t give me that ‘if you just go to the gym a bit more and stop...
Birthdays can be a real source of emotional volatility as one gets older. On the face of it, it's a great blessing to have lasted another year in a world moving at such a distressing pace, in a direction which no longer seems certain, but on the other hand, one is afflicted with terrible...
What defines world-class? Every football supporter has a different way of seeing it.
To some, it is only those truly elite players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Neymar, while others could name 100 who fit into that bracket.
For me, it is someone in and around the top 10 players in...
One evening when my classmates and I were out on the school playing field having a Rounders tournament, our collective attention was grabbed by the sound of approaching helicopter rotors. Now, I should probably mention that the school was a small rural one and the pupils were 80s Irish country kids, so as the...

There has been plenty of talk of Liverpool's inconsistencies throughout the 2016-17 campaign. After a hugely impressive start to the season, it's been another disappointing year and what had the potential to be a successful campaign, has turned into an unpredictable final few months.
Liverpool have the best success record against teams in the top...
Irritation was the name of the game yesterday at Latest News Towers. Irritation with life's vicissitudes (which is not the fodder for these paragraphs), irritation with the media, irritation with the Redmen and, finally, seeing that irritation gloriously manifested in the exasperated form of Jamie Carragher (himself a regular source of irritation to this columnist,...
With many great Liverpool players, there are often moments that come along that make you realise how special they are.
With Steven Gerrard, it was his thunderbolt against Man United at Anfield. For Luis Suarez, it was his incredible assist for Dirk Kurt against the same team. Fernando Torres’ ruthless finish against Chelsea on his...

It was as though Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp, and the players, set out to troll the fans today. The 2-1 win over Burnley was by no means pretty but three points are three points no matter how you pick them up. At the end of the day, the team did what they had to do...
Liverpool have tended to oscillate between the joyful highs and the gut-wrenching lows. Today was somewhere down the middle and it was a great sight to see. Liverpool did not just win, but they found a way to win when they were way below the normal standard. Three points have never felt sweeter.
Considering the...
As is always the case with a club that are almost exclusively in transition between coaches and have a relatively high turnover of players in their squad, Liverpool and their fans are inundated with links to players from around the globe.
Whether it is agent posturing, touting his players’ availability around in the media in...
Liverpool will be wrestling with inconsistency as they look to continue their hunt for a top four place this Sunday, with a hime fixture against Burnley.
THE DETAILS
Match:Â Liverpool vs Burnley
Venue:Â Anfield
Date:Â Sunday 12th March

The rampant Reds defeated Arsenal last weekend with a style and brand of football that's not been seen enough since the turn of...
Sometimes things just pan out, don't they? This morning, as Latest News queued for coffee, the friendly gent who runs the shop offered complimentary ciabatta to your correspondent. A glorious breakfast ensued. Later, whilst scanning the news on Planet Liverpool and quite literally ruminating, there came another moment of serendipity.
Following this column's recent lamentations...
Philippe Coutinho has risen to the potential and exceeded the expectations fans had of him since joining Liverpool FC. After signing from Inter Milan in 2013, the little Brazilian has proven to be worth much more than the 8.5 million pounds paid for him. He has been Liverpool’s Player of the Year the last...
Ah yes, that feeling’s back.
Following the elation Liverpool provided its fans at Anfield against a top-four rival in Arsenal, the mood should be all smiles and utter confidence. So why the sense of trepidation, the caution, and the preparation for disappointment at home to a newly promoted side?
Well, it’s probably to do with the...
2017 just hasn’t been Liverpool’s year, has it? Three wins in 13 games since New Year has all but ended their chances of securing silverware this season - something that looked like an absolute certainty at one stage of the campaign.
The Reds were eliminated from the two domestic cup competitions in January and Jurgen Klopp’s side...
Today's is going to be one of those Latest News columns that relies heavily on the words of others, not out of authorial laziness, you understand, but because they are there to be quoted and they are saying interesting things. Well, I say 'interesting,' but I'm not so much talking about the content. What's...
Liverpool need 77 points to qualify for next seasons champions league, that's not my words, a "super computer" has taken the rest of the fixtures of all the top 6 teams and worked out all the possible results and the team to get 77 points will 100% qualify for the Champions League. With 76...
Make no bones about it, Liverpool are far better against their top-four rivals than those in the bottom-half of the Premier League.
The statistics show that, and we can see with our own eyes that that is the case.
The Reds have undoubtedly been poor when a number of so-called lesser teams have stood before them...
We’ve been through a difficult patch. Liverpool squandered the momentum of late December with a string of lacklustre performances against substantially lesser sides, and we found ourselves teetering on the edge of the Champion’s League spots and crashing out of both the FA and League Cups. A byproduct of this disappointing run is the...
When Liverpool beat Manchester City in a tense game at Anfield on New Years' Eve, the Reds were well placed for a serious title tilt. Back then, Jurgen Klopp's men were just six points behind EPL leaders Chelsea, while the mercurial Brazilian Philippe Coutinho was poised to return from a prolonged injury absence. At...
In a move that is guaranteed to cause more groans and whines of petulant exasperation than gasps of excited wonder, Liverpool Football Club today revealed images detailing the projected appearance of the planned state-of-the-art training complex in Kirkby. The plans for the £50m campus, which will house the extant Academy along with the first team,...
Liverpool's win over Arsenal on Saturday was filled with a lot of standout performances and memorable moments. Sadio Mane was rightly lauded for yet another goal, Roberto Firmino looked back to his best and Adam Lallana was praised for the fact he was practically everywhere throughout the match.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp even reserved special praise...
One of the best things about following, supporting and sharing any views on football is the unerring ability to be wrong.
Seriously.
Being wrong is great. It’s an incredibly underrated skill.
Imagine a scenario where the opposite is the case. You go to the match or a pub or to someone’s house and you call everything with...
Sometimes, the worst thing you can do is look at the league table. The very worst. In fact, because I care about you, lovely reader, don't look at the league table. This morning, unnaturally early, Latest News gave what was supposed to be a brief, fact-checking glance at the Barclay's Premier standing of the...
Back in mid-November 2016, the Mighty Reds were widely tipped for Premier League glory this season.
Having scored 40 goals in 14 games, we were having our best start in 121 years. Fast-forward to 2017 and defeats at the hands of Sunderland and Leicester City and it looks like we won’t even make the top...
It was going to happen eventually. It was just inevitable so long as Jurgen Klopp was in charge but I doubt many envisaged it happening quite so soon after being diagnosed with a metabolic disorder.
Mario Gotze is once again being linked with a move to Anfield just six months after rejecting a move to...
My Desert Island Line-Up is made up of players who have represented Liverpool from 1989, when I first started supporting the club, to the present day. The formation is 4-3-3:
GK Pepe Reina
Liverpool have had some truly dodgy goalkeepers in the past 28 years (David James, Sander Westerveld, Jerzy Dudek to name but three) so...
Before Saturday's kick-off and throughout much of the match, Latest News found the rare leisure time to indulge fully in the online experience of the foreign Red. Essentially that boils down to scanning Twitter relentlessly and resisting the urge to berate the stunningly huge amount of gloom merchants who seem to positively thrive on...
