MAYBE TIME TO CASH IN ON STEVIE G

STEVEN GERRARD has long been Liverpool’s saviour. Who will ever forget the way he inspired his team’s astonishing second-half comeback in their glorious Champions League final triumph against AC Milan in 2005?

CITY WIN BUT WE STAY FOURTH AS JOVANOVIC SIGNS?

Man City beat lowly Bolton 2-0 at home to go level on points with Liverpool in the League, however they are only in 5th as we have a superior goal difference, so we remain in 4th place. That makes tomorrow night’s game against Arsenal all the more important. We have not won at Highbury or […]

FOURTH? WE CAN FINISH THIRD

What a match! A titanic tussle between Merseyside’s rivals which was as physical and intense a derby I have witnessed. Liverpool played the game with just ten men for nearly an hour. Dirk Kuyt’s 50th goal for the Reds early in the second half was enough for Liverpool, who played like men possessed throughout the […]
