As I write this, I fear that never in the illustrious 118 year history of Liverpool Football Club, has a sustained demonstration of solidarity and protest been so necessary.

I ‘overheard’ a conversation on Twitter this evening, in which the extremely gifted Argentinian, David Nalbandian, was described as the best tennis player never to have won a Grand Slam tournament.
Whilst I think that Nalbandian is a terrific talent, I would personally have saved mention for Tim Henman, although I ...
