At White Hart Lane on Tottenham’s High Road, Liverpool’s latest hotly anticipated football revolution will begin again. Perhaps not in the sparkling splendour of the blistering sunshine of August 2004, when a trim and sharply dressed Rafa Benitez first stepped out into the away dugout as the new LFC manager, embarking on his mission...
I’ve ummed and aaarghed about writing this. It’s a personal tale really, but that’s sometimes what’s needed to express thanks to someone.
Many years ago, in 2008 to be precise, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. That illness effects my heart and the initial prognosis wasn’t great. As you can imagine, the news shook...
A decent first-half display in the 225th Merseyside derby was the last thing Brendan Rodgers had to shout about as manager of Liverpool Football Club. The final result (1-1) was by the by for the Northern Irishman, as he soon learnt what many fans had known since late last week (thanks to a clued...
I always said to the mighty Anfield Index Godfather, Gags, that I’d write one article for him. Just never thought it would be this one!
Brendan Rodgers aka Janet Jackson - what have you done for me lately?

The Calm before the Storm.

When I was a child I was kind of obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I know the follow up question to this and the answer is Raphael, the red one, obviously. I'm sure you're all familiar with the story of these four turtles so I won't bore you with that.
I was obsessed to...
Ah the “Friendly Derby”, one of the great derbies in English football. This is a spectacle that divides households, particularly for fans in Merseyside, who happen to follow one or the other side. This match however somewhat failed lived up to that hype. Anger, passion, goals, top class saves and Mama Sakho all added...
It all went a bit sour in the last 12 months of Brendan Rodgers’ reign.
Turgid football, plenty of excuses and pathetic digs about a bloke whitening his teeth and getting a tan.
But it wasn’t always like that. Once upon a time, we were all on a rollercoaster which kept on going up and up...
