Generally, I have a high threshold for pain. Shingles before an international flight and three weeks in Turkey? Tooth fractured two days before I leave for a month in a place where people use giant millipede exoskeletons as dental tools? Giant, unidentified lump on my shin that may or may not be a burrowing insect? I'm sure I've felt worse. At the moment, though, I want to cry. I feel like someone's...

Liverpool might well have been very convincing in beating Manchester United on Sunday, but Mark Murphy is less than convinced that this result says very much about the medium to long-term stability of a club that may have become very dependant on perpetual Champions League money.
