"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, or make me frown. I had strings, but now I'm free. There are no strings on me"
That could well be the theme song for Liverpool's captain in waiting next season, Jordan Henderson.
For well over a decade Steven Gerrard has been the cornerstone...
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...
Only just introduced from subs' bench, Andros Townsend looked on as the player who’d dispossessed him faded into the distance and fired a well placed shot past Hugo Lloris. Whilst the sight of a pacey left-back gliding down the wing to score at White Hart Lane may have stirred some fond memories amongst Spurs'...
Jurgen Klopp has certainly built up a reputation over the past few years and rightly so has many admirers throughout Europe. He managed to take Dortmund to great heights and implemented a style of play that the great Pep Guardiola has taken on at Bayern in certain games. Imitation is the greatest form of...

Liverpool showed some arrogance and confidence in their win against Newcastle, especially in the first half....
The summer of 2014 saw Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers spending £117m in the transfer market in an attempt to boost the club’s title aspirations. After a season that saw the Reds finish second and qualify for the Champions League, the plan was to strengthen the squad in preparation for a crowded fixture list. Of...
Judging. There’s a lot of it going on lately. The manager, the players, the owners, and the judges themselves, are all being judged.
Football is about being a good judge. From the owner choosing whether or not to buy a club, to appointing the right manager, instilling the right philosophy, employing the right staff and...
One of my all-time favorite books is titled 'The Hover Car Racer' by Matthew Reilly, who incidentally happens to be my favorite author too. I have read this book around 15 odd times and I am sure I will read it a lot more in the future. The fast paced novel had its fair...
Liverpool's highly rated central defender, Tiago Ilori, is now beginning to blossom at Bordeaux after a tough start to life on loan in Ligue 1.

Since his return from injury, however, the...
