  1. I think you don’t like the 2% of Gerrard that fuses the Daily Mail and Geordie Shore and expression in ways that basically blame homes for not having the infrastructure around him which turned his m into a tragic hero archetype.
  2. I think he just saw Bellingham. That boy is something else. I can’t wait until we’re back to our best European traditions with Real Madrid beating us every other year* and Bellingham starts picking you out to shush you personally after his goals. Maybe Trent will shush him back after one of his. *possibly in consecutive years sometimes. Let’s not rush to rule anything out.
  3. Yeah maybe but the desire for some of these lads to hit comic book levels of noble intent and embody everything that one’s narrow definition of what a Liverpool hero should be, is crazy. If you look at his body of work and ultimately his loyalty you have to wonder that if you can’t give him a break for God knows what level of minor indiscretion then what do want from another human being. That’s not how anyone is in real life. I’m hoping the d****eads don’t get me combined Christmas and birthday presents. I want all the spoils if I’m gonna be a broken home statistic.
  4. This is harsh. He would he probably only played in one team that genuinely should have won the league and he wasn’t the reason it didn’t. I was eye rolling a lot of that 04/05 season and when he scored that OG for Chelsea of all teams given the circumstances… You’re right in what you always say about him being a Shakespearean character. So much going on there. Was he better than The Queen though? I think Gerrard was probably better than Neil Mellor and Florent Sinama-Pongolle.
  5. I reckon he was part victim of personality and his surroundings in terms of general and club culture. The idea that he would have drunk less in Kenny’s era is wild.
  6. I think the Venables and Fowler thing was different. There was really good complementary partnership then. Look back at the strikers we had. Collymore didn’t get a sniff. If he existed in his 94-97 version now then the clamour would be unbelievable. Then there’s Ferdinand and Wright even Cole. Take your mind back if you can. These fellas could really play and not a sniff of being the main man or even a man. I still think Robbie was a genius and the best (I am deffo biased) and there probs would have been an even greater clamour (because there was a clamour) if he played for Spurs or something. On Gerrard and Lampard, I used to think that you could stick Hargreaves or Carrick in between them. We did that for a couple of games in the 06 World Cup and it didn’t really shine. In fact I think the only thing that happened was that Hargreaves was outstanding v Portugal. The team should have just been about how to get Gerrard and Rooney in dangerous areas. Rafa tried to free him but he was too into his Roy Keane posters. I’d say let this go. You’ll be crying in 5-20 years time about a significant proportion of them. I bet you would have said Hendo was the absolute best among them and the epitome of all that was right as recently as the last time is was sunny in the mornings.
  7. ‘kin ell. Everyone has a cause don’t they.
  8. He did have a rep as a ladies’ man somehow.
  9. It’s used for people who engage with football differently to me. I now mainly like football because I want context for Dominus Maximus’s character.
  10. There are other numbers though and I remember watching him in there with Fab and Hendo and genuinely being the only fella trying to win the ball back
  11. Last time Salah came back not a winner from this thing he went from best player on the planet to just brilliant. Him and Mane literally swapped out there. Anyway long story short, probably need to factor in that he’s a human and hope Egypt do well.* *I am not a fan of this either
  12. That is annoying but only when it happens against us. I don’t know where I stand on balance. I don’t think you can really fix everything so y’know. John Oliver can be really informative and funny but I’ll not forget that ride or die for Clinton piece with the hit job on the Green candidate and clearing student loan debt. Was badness. There you go. That was deffo on John Oliver.
  13. Fair enough Fair enough again. The ones where it is obvious are silly I think
  14. I don’t know why his language is so big but this is what Klopp kicks off about every single time. Lucky it wasn’t us on this occasion and that it is a key player for the other team that matters.
  15. Without reaching into last season, we have lost 1 in 20*. That’s wild! *Yes. I know the context of the loss too.
  16. It was funny them not winning the CL but thru have now and the world didn’t end. Everything else is just very easy to write off unless they stop us winning it.

  19. Klopp made that comment about De Bruyne’s return the other week. If he inspires City to the title I reckon Jurgen gets some of the credit for seeing it coming. Win Win!!
  20. Bergkamp said we’re arsenal’s main challengers for the league. He said it about a month ago tbf. They had definitely worked out how to cause City issues but I can’t imagine Howe wanted them to give up quite so much territory and possession in doing so Imagine losing to us an City the way they have on their own ground. That’s something to enjoy.
  21. Can’t believe Klopp has this new team back at it. He’s a f***ing genius. Obviously the universe won’t be completely aligned until we batter Porto at theirs.
  22. Yeah that’s different to some of the tangential s*** that gets added on. This is just what a title race is against them. You don’t get to feel comfortable. The one time where the ride was there to be enjoyed, everyone was seeing their a*** on whether they were going to claw 12 points back on the European Champions. Teams at the top tend to win. Imagine competing against us. How f***ing annoying would that be? Plus we’re leading and have the second place team to come at home. We’re going to win one of these head to head title races. We’ve got too much about us not to. Like the sign says We Are Liverpool
  23. Let’s get to there to make that a possibility. Let’s see if they get to there to.
  24. For those of you who like being wound up by things, I bet people say City against Everton and today are signs of champions but when we do the same we are imperfect and can’t defend. Oooooooh!
  25. I thought he looked chunky. It’s all I’ve got in the hope that City will fall away stakes
