JRC

Being old school, I vowed not to sing "we're gonna win the league..." unless we were 4 goals up with 15 minutes to play. These magnificent f***ers just deliver on everything don't they?

Current GD is 10 in our favour. If they draw against Palace, it could only come down to GD with them winning 4 and us losing 5, so a minimum swing of 9 to them...we will win it with points, not GD. I hope.....

Wasn't a corner though, stood one up from the byline iirc.

Winning it at home against Spurs would be great for obvious reasons, but also as an homage to the Paisley years. Edit. Just checked and one of our title wins against Spurs was under Dalglish, the fantastic 88 team. (With 4 games to go...)

15 fouls by us against 8 by them. A common and inexplicable ratio. Let a lot of really physical challenges go, then, for periods, reverted to blowing up every time they went to ground when we went near them. But not the worst I've seen.

Fair to say that being in the Tranmere away end would have been pretty good yesterday, from about 75 minutes onwards at least. Not just the context of the league position and opposition, the nature of the comeback and the extreme lateness of the equalizer (101st minute, I think) all 3 goals were absolute thunderbolts in front of the travelling fans. Justified pitch invasion.

African journalist - Rahman Osman(?) - on Talksport just now enthusiastically schooling Winter and Custis about how great (and underappreciated in England) Salah is and has been, and how huge Liverpool are in Africa now. They've not even been particularly negative themselves (Talksport has been prone to the usual clickbait bad takes before now) but did set the interview up as questioning whether Egyptian fans felt as positive as LFC fans about him signing - and boy, did he put them right. Absolutely brilliant, ended with Custis berating Winter for not voting for Salah as Balon D'Or winner yet. Worth finding it online for a listen.

Still do that religiously, then boo if they don't acknowledge. Have told my lad it's the law and non-negotiable; it's hard to do it for a prick like Pickford, but no exceptions. A fair few on The Kop still did it, TBF, from my Main Stand viewpoint, but not as many as normal.

Who's ye mete?

Saw a documentary on Sky about Souness, heard there for the first time that the main reason he left for Italy was because his wife, as the heiress to,iirc, the Famous Army Stores retail chain, was facing a huge inheritance (or capital gains) tax bill, so they wanted out of the country to avoid it. Which is an ...interesting... perspective

Jari Litmanen Fernando Morientes Brilliant players, no doubt, but never quite got the game time or had the impact I expected and moved on too quickly

Mine did. He's a 32 year old Solicitor.

...amongst our weaponry.... No-one expects a Utd win. (One for the teenagers there)

Phew. Thought I was the only one thinking this. The goal was horrific from any point of view, but other than that I saw it as flatness and overplaying and wasn't worried that we wouldn't or couldn't up our game at any time if it got critical, as it did - and we did.

I think Taylor has improved massively on his on-field demeanour and authority - he could get bullied and looked like a frightened rabbit; Webb, being an ex-copper, had that authoritative demeanour in spades, of course. As with Webb, though, I remain to be convinced that Taylor's decision making is elite, although it is definitely no worse than that of most of the other Refs (and better than Webb's)

He kind of did the Bergkamp thing when he dummied the goalkeeper and ran round and collected it himself - 1970 WC. Then missed the open goal.

Didn't get that as much as thinking Guy Mowbray must have some kind of cognitive disorder. How anyone professionally involved in Football could say the game appeared even as he did beggars belief. And laughed at the suggestion the Salah penalty should have been given with the evidence on screen right in front of everyone. He's a tosser

All the Stuttgart fans were saying this - he would become a cult hero. They were right. Love him to bits.
