There is no right way to leave a club. If nothing else, that’s the lesson that we can take from Liverpool in the last few months and even years. Zeroing in more specifically on Emre Can, it seems to me that there simply is no way that Emre can leave the club that won’t...
The international break has been and gone, and we can all get back to enjoying proper football again.
As March slowly turns to April, Liverpool’s season is alive and kicking, with the Premier League and Champions League promising some great occasions in the coming weeks.
Looking at the short-term outlook over the next two weeks, the...
A few of my writings over the years have had reference to songs or movies of old. This one is no different. As it’s a blockbuster tie, there’s only one way to go which is Frankie Goes to Hollywood!!! We've two legs coming up against Manchester City. The fun all starts at Anfield on...
Fast, high energy, counter-attacking football - Liverpool Football Club has a new identity. When Jurgen Klopp was appointed manager back in October 2015, Liverpool Football Club was a team that lacked any sort of identity, yes we were a historic club who once use to grace & conquer Europe on a regular basis but...
The microphone swayed slowly in the air of the silent, eager room, now abuzz with excitement watching the centre of the ring. Andriy Shevchenko takes hold of the microphone and with a knowing smile, eyes up the audience. ‘Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the heavyweight division. In the blue corner, we have Guardiola, the...
To describe Liverpool and Manchester City as a “rivalry” is perhaps a bit of a stretch.

The Champions League quarter-final draw certainly didn’t do any favours to England’s two remaining clubs, with Liverpool and Manchester City being drawn to play each other in what, with all due respect to Real Madrid and Juventus, has to be the tie of the round.
Whilst the draw could have been more favourable and despite...
As I write this the early days of April 2018 contain the following fixtures.
Wed 4th April: Liverpool v Manchester City
Saturday 7th April: Everton v Liverpool
Tuesday 10th April: Manchester City v Liverpool
Three games in six days that will provide a season’s worth of drama and mayhem. Talk about make or break.
Those are three huge games....
In February 2007 I met the woman who would go on to become my wife.
Very quickly she was introduced to my obsession with football, and Liverpool Football Club in particular. Thankfully for me, she got onboard with this obsession almost from the off and has gone on to become a Liverpool supporter in her...
The 4-3 victory over Manchester City provided the Liverpool fanbase with a great deal of relief following the departure of Philippe Coutinho for £142 million only a few days prior. And to me, that was the end of the matter. Cheers for those stunning goals, it was a delight seeing a young Brazilian talent,...
