Not sure Foden won't have the same dynamic as KdB. Beautiful footballer and great skill, may not be one to drag you to a late winner or dig in in a stand-up fight - not in an aggressive, physical way, just performing at your peak to make things happen. Both Silva's have had that in the past for them, as has Milner. See also Glenn Hoddle in another setting and era.

Actually stayed at Kenny's house at first didn't he? Another reason Harry let him go - he knew Kenny would look after him. If that story is true - I wonder if he still stayed there for long after Kenny left?

For the first time in ages, I have been really enjoying the Snooker, effortlessly wasting WFH time and getting to bed ridiculously late. As I said, the first time in ages....about 30 years I reckon. There is clearly a psychic connection (for me) between us being champions and the snooker being great to watch. Buried somewhere in there is a revelation about the Human Condition, which I am now off to try to perceive. After the snooker, of course Anyone else getting any unexpected 30-years on nostalgia rushes?

Needs to look more like a pirate. If he has half the intensity, passion and commitment of Kyrgiakos that will do for me; if he doesn't have at least twice the mobility and footballing skills it might not work out for him. Does look like he fancies a bit of a barnstorming run, so that's all good.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but it has set me off tonight. Resonates strongly. I'm the same age as Schofield, and my lad had never seen us win the league in 3 decades until now. Last October, I laid claim on my future Grandson's allegiance (his Dad is a Manc) by taking my pregnant daughter to the Spurs game. "Thanks" to the lockdown, that lad has now seen us win the league at only 3 weeks old. Last week 4 generations of Reds (I hope) celebrated my Dad's 89th birthday; my lad and I now have the 2 Season Tickets my Dad and I first shared over 45 years ago. He took me to the 65 cup final, and he is the first person we ring on the way home from the match - if anything he is more passionate and involved than ever, even if he can't get to the game. God bless these Mighty Reds.

It was thin gruel for making a defence of Terry, have to accept that

Racking my brains to understand the reference to the "full back" story. On the c*** paradox, Drogba seems to be a genuinely decent person irl, and the club were apparently quite impressed with Terry's actions after the kids got beat at Villa.

Klopp clearly telling his own bench to stay sat down rather than picking a fight or getting Frank even more worked up. On commentary a*******s - the MOTD commentator's line that at 3-0 down, Chelsea had matched or bettered us 'except in the matter of scoring goals' *would* have pissed me off more if I wasn't still celebrating us lifting the trophy

David Morrissey (I think) reciting YNWA on Sky got me going. Haven't got a clip, soz.

Virtually identical, except I went for TAA and Nicol as full backs.

Given I went into the post-lockdown period ridiculously nervous, and these boys did the job so smootnly, I am now so chilled, as given the intensity of our approach, and the imminence of next season, this is both a chance to breathe and remember how s*** it is not to win - whilst giving our opponents false hope. No better time to be less than stellar than when you're already Champions of Everywhere. Hate losing, but perspective is that we lift the trophy next week. This just early pre-season stuff now.

I believe so - or drivers license. I can't say for sure as I still haven't got that far.

And tbf, they have just got back to me to confirm it is valid very quickly. The 'check your Inbox/Junk Mail' bit still appplies. It's not in your My Account section if you just log in to that, afaict.

As a Season Ticket holder, I have just received an email - ostensibly from the club - asking me to reset my password then log in again and check/update my details (to ensure the validity of my account and associated identity). All seems a bit phishy, so I have emailed the club directly for confirmation - but don't expect a quick response; the deadlines for not complying are quite tight, and failure to do so means my ST renewal for next year will be declined (submit photo ID by 31/7, update if needed by 14/8) Has anyone else received this? Is it just extending the checks already in place for members to ST Holders to weed out the touts etc.? Why a two-step password reset them update process though? If it is valid - make sure you haven't missed it in your own inbox. OK - searching the website references Help on Fan Update, but doesn't really lead you into it. The above point about checking your own inbox etc. still applies

Robbed us of 2 points with a last-minute dive.

Always loved the song. Ironically, didn't Liam Gallagher geg in and do backing vocals on it?

So we have now won every senior club trophy we are eligible for - in the 21st Century alone. These Boys.

The way we eased ourselves into playing so aggressively, fluidly and with such positivity and creativity was massively comforting. As has been said, as good a home performance as we have had this season - these boys mean business.

I'm with HP taking the bookie's view on Atletico at home - over a 90 minute football game, we won 1-0, the score only so low because their world-class goalkeeper had an exceptional game even by his standards. We were brilliant - for 90 minutes, 100 even. Also - It could be argued that we had even more expansive and explosive teams in the previous 2 seasons than this admittedly magnificent one we are apparently worrying about now, and Everton were certainly worse, and less well managed; yet those games ended 0-0 as well, and were pretty miserable affairs. I'm getting edgy with waiting for it to be confirmed, and careful not to take anything for granted; but no, there is nothing particular about our form to suggest we may be about to put together the worst 8 game run (in terms of collecting points) in our history*. Hodgson's Liverpool team - honest to god, Hodgson's team - could get us over the line from this point. * Made up stat, but probably true.
