As a kid I'd sit there and watch VHS tapes of our history or 'Six of the best' for hours and hours on a loop. I even managed to get hold of a C90 audio tape of an interview with Shanks just after he r

First match I ever attended at Anfield was 87/88 against Spurs as an 8 year old. My dad had managed to get hold of a pair of season tickets for the day in the Kemlyn right at the end next to the Kop s

And why is that bad? It's not just about Barcelona, Madrid and Munich.   The teams you quote actually won their leagues rather than finishing 4th. Yet they still have to jump through a load of hoops

Fucking state of officiating. What the fuck is the point of anything when you've got utterly abysmal refereeing like yesterday. I've just rewatched the highlights and I wish I hadn't as I'm fucking furious all over again. Ali booked for diving, Lamela and that big chinned cunt both guilty of the same but unpunished. The pen given for the tongueless wonder's dive when he was clearly offside, and not a fucking mention from anyone about the fact there was no contact made on him by Karius. As for Lamela throwing himself at Van Dyke and being awarded a pen, the mind just fucking boggles. That cunt of a linesman needs calling out. He needs fucking sacking.

Not to mention (which nobody seems to have done) Calvert Lewin trying to pull the same trick that won him the penalty at Anfield in their drubbing at Arsenal - but not getting away with it. Presumably because the ref knew what was coming, having seen it before.

supposed 'professionals' on-field arguing with each other about who takes penalties or free kicks. don't they sort that out clearly in the dressing room with the manager these days? never seemed to happen in the past

I am willing to guess that some players are on goal bonuses so scoring a pen is an easier(not in our case) few quid.

I noticed during the game on Sunday on that animated signage around the pitch these days revealed.........'Canada Petro-Lubricants - The official LFC lubricant partner'.

 

I wouldn't want it any other way..

 

Are Rainham Steel still going, reminds me of the old days when they were on hoardings round the pitch

Guardiola on a crusade to get special protection for his players. Apparently his team get butchered by oppos out to stop them. So he wants special talks with the PGMOL and other stuff. Now we all know yarddogs will play rough house football but I am pretty certain there are rough house tactics in Spain and Germany. I might be mistaken but I do not remember him running crying to the refs there.

Not sure about Bayern but he did used to bitch and moan at Barcelona every now and then. Guardiola's sides are bound to have more fouls and bad tackles against their players simply because they have so much of the ball, and the other side spend most of their time trying to keep them out and win it back.

The BBC used a copy of a certain rag to highlight this apparent 'story' on Football Focus today. I urge people to protest against that rag showing anything to do with football news at all.

Which just proves that rather than use any of the dailies as I imagine the story was run in most of them,the BBC use the biggest piece of shite to highlight it. Cunts.
