Anfield Road

AFTER beating Oldham 5-1 in the Budweiser-sponsored cup at Anfield on Friday night Liverpool were in what used to be a hat (probably) for the fourth round draw this afternoon. The balls were warmed, Jim Rosenthal was excited and the draw was made. Liverpool got another home draw – against Manchester United. Maybe the balls weren’t warmed properly. The match […]

A SERIOUS allegation was made by a visiting football player at Anfield last night and as it should be it was taken seriously by the club and, vitally, the police.

THE BOSS of Kick It Out was quoted on the organisation’s website a couple of days after Patrice Evra’s allegations against Luis Suárez. At this point in time the word Suárez was accused of using was far stronger than the one Evra eventually settled on as the one he’d heard and if it could be proved it was going to […]
