I started going on my own 76-77 season when I was 13, but usually with my Dad for the midweek or European Cup games, but with him prior to then. The atmosphere in the ground then was just unbelievable. I still think the loudest noise I ever heard was the roar when Davy Fairclough scored the winner against St Etienne. My ears were ringing for days. The only tickets we could get for the semi final against Zurich we're for the Anny Road and lads were running the length of the pitch to try and get in the Kop before kick off. I was going to try but my Dad stopped me saying if I got caught I'd get chucked out. He was right and I'm glad because not only did we see the Bizzies grab a few lads, I wouldn't have seen the Kop, live, in all its glory as I'd only ever been on the Kop before. Magnificent. I can't go anymore, haven't for over 20 years because of illness, so I treasure the memories I have.

Injunction.

Its the technical aspect also for me, although I would say that quite a few mates have eulogised about how great these pirate sites are and offered to show me the error of my ways which tends to equate to me watching a frozen picture of what may or may not be Liverpool players and the mate in question telling me this doesn't normally happen.

Wouldn't take advice from Rachael Swindon if she told me water was wet. She's of the "fuck off and support the Tories" vibe, and then everyone did.

I'm not a jealous person in anyway but I'm jealous this morning reading about standing on the kop during these times. I'd love to have done it even once.

Sorry to hear that H, I'm an armchair fan myself but also have great memories, I used to go with my Dad and his mate up until I was about 13 but in the Main Stand, then when with me mates it was sometimes in the Kop but mainly the Anny Rd. I remember one time when collecting tickets he made me look at Billy Liddell getting out of his car, the older ones hero. But yes a special place, and tear came to my eye as I looked at that Ray Clemence picture and his tweet We are so lucky to have been part of it whether it was the 60s 70s or 80s and now some of that has returned, and though it won't be the same hopefully I'll return too one day, I only go when they're down here and I don't think this much chance of that come Feb 2nd. Treasure your memories mate, as I've said we've been fortunate to see something very special.

He was mates with our local butcher in Huyton when I was growing up. I was in there with my mum one day, I was about 7 and remember just standing there while Ray was behind the counter talking. He came out and started talking to me but I was dead shy. Next time we went in Ronnie (the butcher) said Clem had been back and left a present for me. He’d bought me an autograph book and the first two pages were filled with all the autographs of the 1971/72 first team squad. One of my most treasured possessions. Hope it works out for you Clem.

Since we were promoted back to the top flight in the early Sixties, we have never finished lower than 8th. Hodgson definitely would have broken that. Because he's shite.

Hodgson didn't know how to use anyone, because he's shite. He also got Konchesky, Cole and Poulsen in because he's shite. Benitez gets a bit of credit because of the whole "competing for trophies and winning a few" thing. Hodgson gets no credit because he's shite.

Great photograph of Ray and his kids.

He deserves accolades i just wish more people would tell them to shove their honours up their arse. Its mostly a list of horrible cunts, rewarded by horrible corrupt cunts for enabling more corrupt cuntishness, with a few token gestures thrown in to throw the working class a bone, the common shite.

It was special although scary at times, you could literally be moved 20 yards in all directions from where you started. At away games I always chose a stand ticket which in the light of things may have saved my life as I swapped my Leppings land ground ticket for the stands the night before that dreadful day. Never missed standing on the Kop once it went all seated.

Going from the music threads you've definitely no sense of taste. Good luck with it.

Me and her still waiting for our results. Sent it off Thursday and she looked at the tracker which said it arrived with them late on the Thursday night. They said two days so hopefully find out today. Bot still feeling a bit shit but not anywhere near as bad as in the week. Haven't left the house other than putting the bins out since Sunday. I'm losing the fucking plot.

Covid football is absolute shit compared to normal football. It’s the John Lewis Xmas advert tediously pared-down cover of a classic versus the original. I’m struggling to retain interest as it is, let alone being asked to pay through the nose for it.

Don’t understand anything of that at all. Is it good or bad? If it’s good, I’m all in. If it’s bad, they’re twats. What should I think?

You just can't handle the truth, mate.

I like how Glory Box has sneaked its way in to the middle of that menagerie of Maggie hate.

I’ve honestly lost count of the amount of times this exact thing has happened. I remember a load of us going around to one of the lads to watch a game for him to tell us he’d fucked Sky off the month before and had got a dodgy box but not to worry because it was great. 5 mins into the game it goes tits up. It was a televised game so I said to go back to mine and watch it there which the response was not to worry it comes back on. After spending the rest of the first half switching through this knows how many channels everyone got pissed off and came to mine.

Definitely needs to start the derby. Ancelotti has done well against us over recent years playing 4-4-2, putting pressure on our centre half’s to stop the diagonal pass and if the pass does come, his sides are spread enough across the width of the pitch to stop the full backs exploiting space. Thiago will make it different. The Ev will obviously want to press Thiago, but he’s so good and calm on the ball, the chances of them getting it off him, unless they press 2v1, aren’t brilliant. And if they do try and press 2v1, it leaves significant gaps elsewhere on the pitch. We’re that good, we don’t need much. And if we get through a press and they get everybody behind the ball, his disguise on the pass is exceptional, making us more unpredictable.

Delicious

Why don’t you just marry her, Bruce?

This was a cracking penalty save against Dresden in the 76 UEFA cup winning run..Made all the better by the fact we won the second leg 2-1 which meant we would have went out on away goals. Penalty is from 3.00

can't be the only one wondering where the hair trimmer is in the final photo

Has Little Richard been mentioned? I suppose he has. A more recent one though is Richard Hawley.

I'll be continuing to pay the same amount that I usually pay to watch the 15:00 games. The idea of paying £15 to watch us on telly, in an empty stadium, against Sheffield United, is fucking laughable.

Code its bellend moves like that which make people think you're a massive cock.

Ear hair. Grows in the most awkward of places as well.

If there’s one man who’s going to keep the restaurants open...

Can't claim credit for Boss's post, but here is the clip in full:

I wish the villa game was on ppv so I didnt have to watch it.

Took this, this morning...

We have got to smack these gobshites back down and fucking hard, really really dead fucking hard.

Not seen him listed but I really like some of Richard Ashcroft’s solo stuff if we’re struggling to get it up to 64.

Shame he didnt do that when he was our manager.

Jesus Christ. Not a despicable cunt? Do you even remember the shite he came out with whilst managing us? Far worse than anything Rodgers did.

He gets a lot of justifiable stick for overdoing it with the eco-warrior vegan philosopher shit, but the opening of Moby's album 'Play' has this quadruple whammy to kick things off. 1 - Honey 2 - Find My Baby 3 - Porcelain 4 - Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?
