Politics and paranoia have Anfield divided

THE PEOPLE bidding to buy a divided Liverpool are themselves divided. Of course they are. How could it be otherwise in such crackpot times?

It’s best not to believe a word you read sometimes. Perhaps it’s a sign of encroaching senility, but I keep forgetting the internet is a strange place.

I’d written in cryptic terms about the manager having to explain why he made Skrtel right back. After putting Mascherano there for Sunderland I felt sure he’d crack especially after he took a pasting for the original decision from Hansen and Lawrenson, who ought to know a thing or two about defending.
