Typical Neil Atkinson match report, what the actual fuck? The man is a complete tosser.

 

LIVERPOOL face Sion in black kits. Sion red; red and starred. Liverpool dark and trim.

The darkness sweeping around the place. The pit. The pit. The game starts. The selection. We can’t go on like this. That’s what you think.

Questioning.

How did we?

The ball waves from left to right.

What do we?

The ball waves from right to left.

How can we?

Nobody comes. Nobody goes. It is terrible.

Boots flecked with colour in the darkness. Blues. Florescents. Flicking and flocking. Clipping and clopping.

Why did we?

Stars on shirts.

Why have we?

Questioning.

How can we?

Why? Why have these lads, these specific lads, been sent out to toil when there is no conceivable good to become from their toil?

Spades hitting icy ground. The crunch of soil being moved from here to there, from there to here. The ball bouncing, moving from left to right and from right to left. The movement pointless. Football reduced.

The waves, the waves, were soldiers moving. Well thank you and thank you and thank you and again, we call upon the author to explain.

Dead rubber. Rubber dead. Origi distant. Distant Origi. Disjointed, dishevelled, dysfunctional, disappointing, disheartening, disciplined, dystopian. Football without purpose. Without the desire to impress. Two eyes on Sunday.

Football where no one wants to get hurt. Sticks and goals may break my bones. Eleven internationals for Liverpool. Eleven internationals. Eleven. Because of something, because of something. Brad Smith aside, delivery and all, because of something.

There will be reasons. They will be good and smart. And yet.

There are always reasons. Humanity finds reasons and purpose in its greatest mundanities. This, the admin, Radio X. We are born. We entertain ourselves, we procreate, we find purpose. We die.

The blackest kit. The darkest pit. The lads running without knowing how or why. The toil. Toiling lads, two eyes on Sunday. Because Sunday is important.

The ice cracking beneath the moulded studs. Synchopated strides. Sinews pumping. No two snowflakes are alike. Who cares? What difference does it make.

Two eyes on Sunday but travelled. Two wins and the group is Liverpool’s. Two eyes on Sunday but toiled. Two wins and four draws. Two eyes on Sunday. A Sunday which has been too rarely won after ten undefeated points. But we always find something, eh Kloppo, to give us the impression we exist.

We always find something. Smith, Origi and all. Something to give us the impression we exist.

Prolix. Prolix. Nothing a pair of scissors can’t fix.

So Neil Atkinson was Xerxes all along.

It’d be a diabolical tournament for us to be in any time soon.  Due to how we’d have do to enter it.

Can enter from being 3rd in CL group still?

 

The other options are preferable but I wouldn't turn my nose up at it.

Then of course you’d hope not to win it.  The champions league group stages are a joke and weighed solely in the top seeds favour.  We’d need to fuck up massively not to reach the latter stages.

united fans used to turn their noses up at the UEFA Cup \ Europa League. After being in the Champions League for years, they saw the UC \ EL as too lowly for them.

 

Now, they're desparate to win it. And the EFL Cup. How times change. We shouldnt forget that.

We haven't forgotten that.

 

That's why we don't want to be where the mancs are. Now or ever.

Jordan Henderson not winning the Europa League is a bit like Liverpool not winning the Inter toto cup. Being too good to qualify isn’t really a stain on his record.

That's a fabulous analogy.

We reached a final. And lost.

 

The bottom line is that the claim that he has won every available trophy is untrue.
