No way would that be played these days.

Didn't the team have to play Arsenal about 4 times in the FA Cup that season too? If social media was around back then, what would fans say about the number of games and the need to rest players?

Yeah, I was laid up in hospital with a dislocated hip whilst that marathon of games against Arsenal went on. The cunts won the third replay 1-0.

What was wrong with this one, a ball for all weathers

The players didnt like it because of the band around the circumference and the two red hexagons. They said when it was in the air and spinning it made it's flight hard to judge. Having seen it used mainly in FL Cup finals, I agree with them. It was horrid.

It was used in all league games for a couple of seasons.

I went to the Villa Park one 1-1 , absolute nightmare on the motorway and was nearly half-time before I got in. Never went to the eventual losing game ( Coventry's ground ? )

Yeah, Highfield Road at the time. I was on traction due to the dislocation and some cunt banged into the weights that evening. Not a great night in all honesty. The good old days when you had to rely on the radio.

Didn't we play them in the league as well in the middle of the replays? Ended up playing them 5 times in about 3 weeks.

This and the Euro Cup goal are probably my two favourite Kenny goals....Remember going completely bat shit crazy when he equalised with the last kick of the game....Proper semi-finals were these but what's sad is that this great great side never got to play in a FA Cup final, we should have done the double in 79 and 80

Best away kit as well

Bloody Paisley, concentrating on winning the league and European cup all the time.

7 - Of current teams within the top four tiers of English league football, only Liverpool (1) and Manchester City (6) have lost fewer league games (excl. playoffs) than Sunderland (7) since Jack Ross was appointed ahead of 2018-19. Dismissed.

New Bloos manager? Or will he be willing to take a step down?

[dockers_strike]

The trend amongst some clubs to drop the words 'football club' from their name as if they are ashamed of it or, think they are so big they dont need to call themselves football clubs anymore. Started with manchester united. I notice city followed suit as have arsenal and the shite.

 

We have kept with tradition. Our club crest still stays Liverpool Football Club. Even our shirt badge still says LFC.

[TheHowieLama]

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil believes he has been made a scapegoat at the club. The German, 31, says he will stay at the club until the end of his contract in 2021.

 

So, knowing he will not be a part of the team he would rather cash a check than play.
