Why woukd you skip the best bit ?

My youngest tested positive this morning, so we've all just been for PCRs. He has a headache and fatigue but no cough or shortness of breath at the moment. He's had one jab, and my wife has just had her booster, so hopefully we'll all be fine. Right pisser though, I was going to take him down to my Mum's next week for half term, so that's out. Doubt I'll be able to see her until next year now.

It was ironic the comparisons were being made on that thread the other day, but Salah is looking like he might literally do a "Suarez' this year and push us right to the very brink of a(nother) title. What is also a good omen is, without looking too flash, Mane has banged in 4 already too. The two of them looked right in tune for that first goal, which was wonderful to see. If Salah scores and provides assists to that level, it was one fucking exciting season... and sometimes you just have to enjoy what's happening rather than worrying about what's wrong, no? At the current rate, those two are on course around 55 goals between them. Add Jota (and yes, Bobby) into the mix and... regardless of leakage at the back... and we'd have to be right in the mix. Avoid losses to the top 4 and pretty much batter the rest, and we might go very very close. Injuries, of course, are the big, big if.

Honours even after a pulsating second half at Anfield. The incredible Mo Salah scored one of the best goals seen in L4 and also had a sensational assist to go with it, but twice City came roaring back and both sides could have nicked it at the end. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Stu Montagu to dissect a dramatic afternoon full of incidents and controversy. What went wrong in the first half? Was this the best City have ever played against us? Does it change your view of the title race? Is Mo currently the best in the world? Should Milner have been sent off? Exactly how much of a tit is Pep Guardiola? Tune in for all this and more. View full article

Good post. I’m out of rep, so have this picture of a 1970s Marks & Spencer male model instead.

Conceding five in two league games (and conceding the lead four times) is a bit worrying in terms of both mentality and defending as a team, especially when we dropped four points in the process. We've been far too very easy to play through and City could have had the game won by half-time yesterday. The brilliance of Mo Salah is covering over a lot of cracks at the moment.

Hope the cone was ok

Fuck them, their accusations are a load of shite. Don't ever let these scumbags take the moral high ground. Just point to their despicable owners and the death and destruction they are causing in Yemen, and the million+ slaves they have toiling away in their country. City fans on Bluemoon love throwing around insults about Liverpool but are strangely quiet about their owners and their actions.

I thought city were on top for the 2nd half of the first half but I dont subscribe to the view they had chance after chance in the first half. I can only remember Alli making 1 save from Foden in that half. He palmed away a cross come shot as well. Overall, I thought we played too slow in the first half and when the ball went forward it didnt stick. I agree about Sadio, I said to hook him and or Jota at half time. Then Sadio scores that goal. Even then, he didnt do much after that. Second half we were much better but we missed opportunities to cut out the danger leading up to both their goals. All the talk about Milner, sorry I think if Gomez had played RB for the whole game or even the whole second half, he would have had just the same torrid time if not worse. The lads talked about city playing through us, I keep saying this, we dont win enough 50 \ 50 tackles. It's not because city are better players that they skipped away from our tackles with the ball. No one in this team seems to know how to block tackle. Give Mo what he wants! In my humble opinion, very few players are worth £350k or more a week, certainly not the likes of Sancho, Haaland and others. Mo certainly is. We dont have another player in our squad, not Virgil, not Alli or Trent, who are worth £350k+ a week.

Watched the f**tball yesterday in a hot tub with pizza and beer. With about 30 minutes left and the pizza and beer all firmly in my belly, my kids joined me and were going absolutely berserk about the goals and hot tub in equal measure. Even when they got out my 18 month son was strutting round like it was the best day of his life.

Yeah, I live alone and work from home in a job where I don't do much work, I've seen succession.

I was about to go and agree with you, to an extent, then thought bollocks to it. Actually, it isn't all men but it's too many men, it's too many coppers, any number is too many. What part of that is too hard to grasp? This is really only scratching the tip of the iceberg, do you really think all things come to surface? What about those coppers taking selfies with the sisters found dead last year? They didn't commit the crime, another man did, but they took pictures and shared it around with their peers. Their peers, 6 others were brought in for questioning i believe - could be more. We're still talking about a handful in a huge force, but if this is what makes it to the public domain, it makes you wonder what doesn't. I've mentioned men a few times. I'm more than open to some female copper horror stories? Genuinely, is it relative in number to that of male acts? It is an issue. Violence in general is an issue, but fuck me, male on female violence is a massive issue and it's not just about the violence, it's about the dogshit attitude that women are to laydown and take it because of a sense of male entitlement. So for you who is wanting figures, how many women have to die at the hands of men for it to be considered a massive issue? How many women have to be beaten to a pulp to be considered a massive issue? How many have to be sexually assaulted for it to be a massive issue? I'm going with 1 is a massive issue, especially when it is done by someone she should have been safe with, someone with a position of power and responsibility. I'm saying that to anyone woman being raped - it is a massive issue. I'm saying her years of nightmares are a massive issue, i'm saying the whole fucking shit storm of male entitlement is a massive issue, and to make it relative to the thread I'm saying police entitlement and their almost untouchable status is a massive issue. Perfect example is how is Dick still in a job? I know a fair few decent coppers, probably because i live in a rural area and know their mam, their sister, brother, kids in the same school as mine etc so i know its not representative of all coppers. I wouldn't dream to think all coppers are like this though.

Never mind that cobblers , this bastard is dissing Bod.

What I like best about that banner is the linking of political leaders with justice campaigns. It makes it clear that it's not (as dickheads like to claim) a personality cult: it's about being on the side of ordinary people when they are attacked by establishment power. Stand with us and we will stand with you. Starmer has picked a side, and it's not our side.

So sat night the woman from across the street comes banging on our door saying her love in boyfriend has hit/attacked her . I decided to call the police and reported it. While waiting she says he hit her on the head and dragged her down the stairs. One young copper comes and takes a statement from her before his cunt of a sidekick turns up , cocky as fuck telling her " If you really want to make an official complaint then he'll be arrested , and if he says you assaulted him , you'll also be arrested " She reluctantly says she wishes to proceed. Coppers go over to "her' house to get a statement from him , then come back and arrest her saying she used a knife during this altercation, thereby deciding on the spot that he was completely innocent and blameless. Next morning my wife and two friends go around to see her she's bruised and crying , he's pissed and refusing to leave the house threatening pressing charges if she kicks him out. Nice work plod.

Still amuses me when people try to downplay his importance to the team by referring to Van Dijk as the catalyst for our success. No, Salah was - at the very least - every bit as important at the opposite end of the pitch (he just happened to sign first), and on the evidence of the season to date, has more left in the tank than VVD. Failing to renew his contract would be cataclysmically idiotic and betray a lack of ambition that will ultimately see other top players question whether they want to spend much more of their career at the club. He’s one of a tiny handful of players who can effectively name his terms and any club that aspires to win things will match theme.

Pep might be a great manager but he’s a bit of a cunt as a person isn’t he.

My streams a bit behind today.

Best player in the world for me right now.

Watching MOTD and he’s asked how the yernited fans would like to see Ronaldo start every game. He replies with “I think Cristiano and myself understand more than you, the experts and journalists.” Honestly it shouldn’t bother me as much as it does, but I really fucking hate his smug little grate. He’s won the square root of fuck all, just presided over a draw they could easily have lost but for Tom Davies’ lack of a set, coming off the back of three defeats in five or whatever, and he’s crowing about rotation. I’ll say it again, never has such mediocrity been so pleased with itself.

Fuck's sake, Tone: you left out possibly the hardest man to play top level football

No it isn't, male psychopaths outnumber female by about 2:1. Also don't think you should be prejudging anyone's guilt.

"Oy love did we order a cunt?"

So remember I said I did a video where I played against Neil Tappin from Golf Monthly at the London Club? Well its finally come back from editing and its now live. https://www.t3.com/news/smart-life-golf-challenge-video

My mate has asked me to go to his house on Saturday and sit off in his shed watching footy and getting completely twatted. Yet all I can think about is that it's going to cost me £25 to get home in a taxi, that I'll be up at 7am on Sunday when my son wakes up and that I'll be massively over the limit driving him to swimming. Pre kids I would have stayed out till I could barely speak, attempted to walk home and stayed in bed all Sunday., getting up occasionally for a piss and to spew up.

You can never be sure on here.

Read my first line. But before I condemn any liverpool fan as a 'twat' or 'disgusting' I will wait to see the evidence of the alleged act. If any cunt spat on me I'd break their face, or get battered trying. Yet I wouldn't act unless i was completely sure i was attacking the right person and knew they had deliberately aimed their saliva at me. City have presented an image of the person they accuse but not an image of the person actually spitting. Unless they have completely reliable witnesses - and plenty of them - then they have a picture of a fan at a football match. As or dismissing social media, i think we can see the damage lies and unfounded accusations can do to the reputation of not just football fans but a city. For The Shitrag substitute Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The defamation of Liverpool and its people has been caused by lies in the past and I'll always give the benefit of the doubt to the fans ..... unless the case is proven against them/her.

Stating the bleeding obvious but Rees-Mogg really is just a vile horrible excuse for a human being. As are the rest of the current cabinet, they couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone or anything other than themselves and their mates.

Same pal lower than whale shit every single one of them

Truly heartbreaking this and this Bastard couldn't give a fucking toss they really are scum

It’s not a surprise if the atmosphere starts to suffer when we tout all our tickets ourselves on the ‘hospitality’ section of the clubs website. £390 for a match ticket with a cup of tea in a tent thrown in and a ‘complimentary match programme.’ That’s a disgrace and it’s bound to be felt in the stadium if genuine fans can’t afford to get it, but rich tourists can. Still, as long as we maximise those revenue streams, we can market the Anfield atmosphere in glossy brochures whilst simultaneously killing it.

Trent was missed yesterday.

For fucks sake mate, you could at least say don't have nightmares at the end like that cunt off crimewatch

You should try the bio, basically a big dildo shaped probe on the end of a long steel tube attached to a machine. Once inserted, The probe opens up like a flower to reveal a camera and little sharp scoop that carves out a section of your prostrate. Your given a local anesthetic but you are fully conscious the whole time. It’s horrific

Yep, they just spend their shifts eating, sleeping or playing pool. Laura Kuntsberg, BBC News at Ten, reporting from Boris Johnson's Colon.

I get your point, but if this has happened, we need to get our own house in order. I'm not arsed what they say, Manchester city and their despicable owners are nothing to do with me. But I'll be fucking fuming if one of ours has done that.

Vitezslav Jaros (St. Pat's) - Another full game for Jaros. Kept a clean sheet as St. Pat's picked up 3 points away at Drogheda courtesy of a stoppage-time winner. Jakub Ojrzynski (Caernarfon Town) - Full 90 for Jakub as Caernarfon picked up a point in the 1-1 draw at Penybont. The big Pole saved a penalty in the first half while the game was goalless. Sepp van den Berg (Preston) - Sepp played the full 90 as Preston lost 3-2 at QPR in a back and forth contest. Ben Davies (Sheffield United) - Davies with another full game for Sheffield United as they were beaten 2-1 at Bournemouth. Rhys Williams (Swansea City) - Unused sub as Swansea drew 0-0 at Derby. Adam Lewis (Livingston) - Not in the matchday squad due to injury. Livi lost 1-0 at home to St. Mirren. Anderson Arroyo (CD Mirandes) - Full 90 for Anderson as Mirandes lost 1-0 at Burgos. Leighton Clarkson (Blackburn) - Unused sub as Rovers lost 2-1 at Neil Critchley's Blackpool. Jake Cain (Newport County) - Not in the matchday squad as Newport beat Scunthorpe at home 3-0. Ben Woodburn (Hearts) - Started for Hearts as they beat Motherwell 2-0 to take them top of the SPFL until Rangers won on Sunday afternoon. Replaced in the 69th minute. Sheyi Ojo (Millwall) - Another start for Sheyi as Millwall travelled to Barnsley and picked up all 3 points with a 1-0 win at Oakwell. Replaced in the 70th minute. Paul Glatzel (Tranmere Rovers) - Not in the matchday squad as Tranmere beat Crawley 2-1 at Prenton Park. Luis Longstaff (Queen's Park) - Another appearance from the bench for Luis, coming on in the 71st minute as Queen's Park were held to a 1-1 draw at Hampden Park by Montrose.

Like the great Gordon Strachan post-match interview when he was Southampton manager. "In which areas do you think Arsenal were better than you today?" "That big green area out there."

If he gets them in to the CL year after year and the club’s commercial arm continues to thrive, why make a change? Unless the fans really turn on him and make a big deal out of it, they’ve little reason to as a company.

Lovely.

Was surprised to see he's averaging a goal/assist every three appearances, and one every 2 on a per 90 basis. I know a lot of that is against the weaker sides, but it's encouraging and shows he deserves these opportunities. Just needs to rise to them.

Joined Watford in the first place.

Did you ever find her ?

Should have won that game, no excuses. Twice we had the lead and just like at brentford, we let it slip. Said to my mates at the ground before kick off, I fancied us to win 3-2. So close and if Fabinho had been switched on at the far post for the 2nd week going, we would have. Might seem harsh on him but he took an age to react to that loose ball on the edge of the 6 yard box at 2-2. I got in the ground ok this time. There was a small queue to get in turnstile K but there seemed a long snaking queue to get in the Annie Road where a couple of my mates are. Inside, the lads who sit next to me said one of them had taken a screen shot of their bar code, shoved their phone in the reader with NFC off and got in ok. Seems that's how the touts are getting round this thing. Certainly the turnstile reader acted very quickly compared to previous home games so may be they turned up the power as well? A nice tribute to Sir Roger by everyone in the ground as well. Overall, I thought the first half was a very cagey affair with neither team throwing caution to the wind and seemingly feeling each other out. city did seem to enjoy a bit more possession and threat in the last 15 minutes of the half. Ive seen some reports suggest they dominated the first 45 minutes. Have to disagree with that. Sadio and Jota were both disappointing and I thought if that continued into the 2nd half, one or both may be hooked. But, the 2nd half was completely different to the first. We looked far more dangerous and maybe both Sadio and Jota had been told by Jurgen to get in the game as they seemed more lively. Jota had a good opportunity on the edge of the box but either indecision or wanting too much time saw the chance snuffed out. 5 minutes later when a 2nd chance came, he didnt waste it and cracked off a shot quickly that Ederson smothered. We were then treated to a moment of brilliance when a break down the right saw Mo play a fantastic ball into sadio's path who promptly poked the ball past the advancing Ederson. A great ball by Mo and a great finish by Sadio. But the lead didnt last long which is majorly disappointing. I didnt have that good a view as the goal was down the Kop end. It seemed like a bit of play around the edge of our box fell to Foden who shot at goal. It looked to have Alli beat but I dont know if it was going in. It seemed like the ball cannoned off Jones who couldnt do anything to stop it ending in the net. Reports seem to say the goal was directly from Foden's strike but all around me thought it was an oggie or took a big deflection. The disappointment of conceeding that goal didnt last too long as another great piece of play down the right gave Mo the chance to skip inside the city defence and hit a beautiful goal across Ederson and just inside the far post. What a hit that was. I dont often subscribe to this view but, FSG, just give Mo what he wants. Dont piss about arguing the tosh whether the boy is worth it. He is, no doubt. We dont have any other players in our team, good as they are, who can really command the wedge Mo deserves. There's probably only van Dijk and even then, Id say he isnt even close to Mo. Make it so. If Mo leaves or is allowed to leave, it will be a tragedy. We should really have held out for the win. Two seasons ago, Im convinced we would have. But we seem to be shipping needless goals. No one convinces me Havertz's goal wasnt preventable. All 3 of Brentford's goals, the same. Mo lost the ball down near me but city were still 70 yards from our goal. Henderson misses a challenge to clear on the half way line. Still city come forward. In the middle of the pitch, it seemed Fabinho had a chance to intercept the ball but somehow the ball escaped him. Even then when De Bruyne had a shot it seemed to ricochet off someone and ended up in the net. I keep saying this but it seems to me no one in our team knows how to block tackle. It seems to me we lose a high percentage of 50 / 50 tackles and today's game seemed no different. Time after time 1 or 2 of our players surrounded the city player with the ball yet somehow, the city player seemed to retain possession and skipped clear. The big talking point in the game was whether Milner should have got a 2nd yellow. Im not sure what the incident was but did notice Guardiola going ballistic and making a kicking movement. It also seems some dirty twat decided to take a gob at one of the city backroom staff. Seriously, where do these knuckle heads come from? Stop bringing the club down to your level. MoTM has to be Mo who, although he has a relatively quiet game, had two pieces of sublime skill that should have won us 3 points.

Sipping a guinness with rumours on the record player and listening to the rain outside. The eldest scored a corker to win his game 6-5 earlier. Normally hate Sundays but I'm having this one.

Amazing. Fans celebrating a goal. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything remotely like that before.

http://www.socceronsunday.com/article/keane-picks-top-5-comebacks/ Roy Keane Picks The 5 Greatest Ever Comebacks 5. Barcelona vs PSG (2017) All credit to Barcelona, winning 6 – 1 to qualify for the Champions League Quarter-finals is outstanding. But questions have to be asked of the bottling shitebags in white. I hear the PSG players were physically attacked by fans at Bourget Airport. Ordinarily I don’t condone violence, but hanging would be too good for this particular gang of frogs-leg eating pox bottles 4. Rocky vs Thunderlips (1982) Rocky showed great courage to retain his WBC World Championship belt when he fought mandatory challenger Thunderlips in 1982. I don’t like to criticise referees, but I felt Tony Patterson was poor on the night. At one point Thunderlips picked Rocky up over his head and flung him out of the ring. He could have been killed, but Patterson didn’t even deduct a point. Rocky eventually gritted out a points win, and Thunderlips went on to carve out a career for himself in wresting under the name André the Giant 3. Rocky vs Clubber Lang (1982) I’ve gone with the boy Rocky again, and his epic rematch with fearsome bruiser Clubber Lang (an uncle of Country singer KD Lang). The Italian Stalion’s trainer and Alex Ferguson-lookalike Mickey Goldwill died 5 minutes before the first bout, which may have been a factor in the disturbing beating Rocky received. Personally, I think the fight should have been cancelled out of respect for Mickey’s decaying carcass backstage. The pattern of the rematch looked similar early doors, but a turning point came when ringside mics picked up Rocky declaring ‘you ain’t so bad’ over and over to Lang. What followed, was a disturbing beating for both fighters. Rocky eventually earned the KO, but everybody involved with the fight should have been thrown in jail for reckless endangerment 2. Rocky vs Apollo Creed (1979) It’s hard to look past the boy Rocky again, and his epic rematch with longtime champion Apollo Creed — a classic bout of boxer vs brawler. At this early point of his career, Rocky was already showing the defensive holes in his game that Apollo and others would exploit. Indeed, to this day Rocky is the only World Champion on record to have never blocked a punch. Rocky himself denies this. “Why block with my hands when I can block with my brain?” he famously told Michael Parkinson in 1984. And the style did bear fruit. Apollo was unable to inflict enough brain damage on The Italian Stallion before himself being pummelled almost to death. Another highly disturbing bout that should have seen everybody involved jailed 1. Rocky vs Ivan Drago (1985) I’ve had to go with the boy Rocky again. Peter Schmeichel-lookalike and steroid-guzzling giant pile of blonde shite Ivan Drago went into his bout with Balboa as a heavy favourite, having beaten former champion and then-Rocky trainer Apollo Creed to death in front of his own family a few months earlier. I don’t like to criticise referees, but I felt Pat Murphy, the referee during the Drago vs Creed fight, was poor on the night. So when Murphy was also handed the Rocky vs Drago fight, I was worried. With good reason it turned out, as Drago handed a highly disturbing beating to The Italian Stallion early doors. But Rocky blocked everything thrown at him with his brain, and eventually dealt an horrific beating to the Russian. It goes without saying, but everyone involved should have been jaile Roy Keane Picks The 5 Greatest Ever Comebacks
