Well 2023 reaches new lows, lost my dad this morning, less than 4 months after my mam! Night dad, take care of mum!

I buried my Dad on Monday, mate. Perhaps your Da and mine will have a pint together, given their boys are Liverpool supporters and all. Best wishes.

Some good news: https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41124817.html Seán Cox walking upright with help of robotic skeleton five years after unprovoked attack /cms_media/module_img/7077/3538651_8_articlesmall_RTE_Prime_Time_-_Sean_Cox_getting_exoskeleton_treatment_with_wife_Martina.jpg Sean Cox with his wife Martina getting exoskeleton treatment. Picture: RTÉ Prime Time TUE, 25 APR, 2023 - 19:41 IMASHA COSTA Five years after suffering life-changing injuries in an unprovoked attack, Seán Cox is able to walk upright with the aid of a robotic skeleton. The father-of-three was attacked in the UK in 2018 after travelling over for a Liverpool match. Now, on the fifth anniversary of that attack, Mr Cox is able to walk upright with the aid of a robotic exoskeleton. In their Meath home, Seán's wife Martina recalled how it was an emotional moment seeing her husband walk in the exoskeleton for the first time. "[It was] very emotional, really, really emotional to see him. He actually started in a sitting position and then he just stood up and then [just kinda] walked towards me. And even the look on his own face! It's so good. We don't know what is going to come out of this but psychologically it's really good for him," Martina told RTÉ's Prime Time. Sean Cox getting exoskeleton treatment. Pictures: RTÉ Prime Time On April 24, 2018, Seán and his brother Marty were walking up Walton Breck Road outside Anfield stadium on their way to see Liverpool play AS Roma in the Champions League semi-final when they were attacked by away supporters. Seán was left with injuries that required him to be placed into an induced coma at the Walton Centre in Liverpool. Speaking about the importance of the anniversary, Martina said: “I don't dwell on it, to be honest, life is too busy and life is too short as well. We are just trying to move on, get the most out of life. "Seán, he is a relatively young man still. We want to have really good memories. We are starting to go out a little bit more, we've gone on holidays. We just want to do more of those things." Sean Cox with his wife, Martina, and Miriam O'Callaghan. Pictures: RTÉ Prime Time Martina said the family continues to look to the future. She said: "In sickness and in health, those words, they are so powerful. There was never a second thought I was going to do anything else but look after him. "You think your life is carved out for you but then it just goes to show you really can't plan because this happened and then everything changed. But I'm still happy and Seán is happy and we still love each other and I think that's what makes all this work." Seán has a number of carers who come to the house during the week to support them. Martina feels the Government needs to be doing more to help with the vital service that carers provide for families like theirs. She said: "Home care is particularly tricky at the minute, it hasn't been consistent. Seán's needs are high, recently a lot of the hours are not met, and this is down to the fact that there are not enough carers. "The demand is really, really high for both disability and the elderly in the home but the supply of carers is just not there because I think what they are being paid is too low. I think the government needs to definitely look at investing more money into this area."

We've spent a lot of time hearing about Trent's defensive deficiencies, but when he throws a shimmy in midfield leaving an opponent wondering where he has gone and then skims across the ground like the ball is talking to him it is poetry in motion and a privilege to watch.

Arsenal's last four results are: draw, draw, draw, loss, and their fans laughed at us, and called us bottlers when we got 97 points and missed out. Delighted for the shower of shite. Smell yourselves now, fuckers. That's right, you've just properly shit yourselves.

I'd probably take us pipping United to 4th on the last day of the season, City winning the league and FA Cup which no-one will care about, Everton getting relegated, and Divock Origi getting an injury time winner in the Champions League final against City prompting Guardiola to resign and fuck off back to Catalonia. Would be alright that.

You realise we won?

Being offered double my stake by paddy Power to cash out.Thanks,but no thanks,they are going down.

Nah, fuck that. We should sell him because he done fuck all in a 15 minute cameo in an away win tonight.

Nunez, Jota, Gakpo, Salah & Diaz doesn't look like too much of an issue for me. More an embarrassment of riches. All our issues are in defence & midfield & I'll tell you what, Van Dijk is a large one.

Poor from Thiago. Offered nothing going forward, gave the ball away leading to attacks on several occasions, and might have had the penalty given with a different ref. Need him to get up to speed because that’s nowhere near good enough.

Something needs to be done about aggressively approaching officials after the game. Says absolutely nobody tomorrow because its not us.

Good grief this is all getting a bit exciting. I don't know where we are in the league, but I know everything that is happening in the bottom 6.

no. He offered plenty. Composure, ball retention, and played it forward. Yes, he gave it away once when he first came on, and once later on, but everything else was pretty good. He won a few tackles, including the important tackle when he didn't give a penalty away. Compare and contrast with Henderson. We were a much better unit and kept the ball infinitely better.

There are few sights in football more amusing than a livid David Moyes.

Really good signing, Gakpo. Very impressive few months from him after an anonymous first few games. Under £40m looks a steal.

She'd said earlier in the day that she had to have her dog put down and was spoiling for a fight, looks like she took it out on Mogg.

I know how it feels, it's absolutely awful, so sorry for you, make sure to look after yourself in the next few weeks and months. The forumites here will help you though - they certainly helped me during a very similar situation, in fact I've gone back and read the replies to my post a few times since and have felt better - a great bunch.

Excellent as always but I do have to take exception at one point that was made regarding Carragher and Neville pointing out the fuckwit chanting surrounding tragedies. One of the lads stated that Neville was really good at calling out issues in the game which is a crock of shit. Neville calls out what suits him and is strangely quiet on everything else; everyone remember the absence of noise from him over the Liverpool fans' treatment in Paris? Neville is a self-serving prick whose morals can be very flexible when it benefits him (commentating in Dubai for example). He likes to portray himself as a man of the people when he's actually a man of Gary Neville. Please don't perpetuate the fucking myth that he's trying to create around himself as a champion for justice as he's just a fucking cunt, nothing more.

West Ham had 27,5 % possession at home , Moyes can go cry himself to sleep tonight the useless negative bastard.

We have been talking for years about strength in depth, then as soon as we have 5 excellent forwards we are desperate to sell one straight away, with absolutely no guarantee the money will be used to replace him.

Knew I'd seen this fucker before. It's Vigo

Get the fuck in, only six wins left now.

What, you mean the City v Arsenal match that they've just scored in to increase their lead to 3 níl?

Get in Bog Bird!!!!

Virgil is one lazy twat these days.

Disgraceful from Henderson that Van Dijk can’t be arsed intercepting or tackling tonight.

Who gives a shite if he was ‘great’ or not? He was a key part of a title and European Cup winning side, and was very unlucky not to add to both.

Do you wear a cape over your super suit?

Cheers. Even though Dad was a United fan in my youth (Munich and all that) - and he was a very, very good player himself - we carried his casket out of the Church to the loud strains of YNWA. Because he knew how much more I loved Liverpool than he did United - and it's what he would have wanted.

Fruit or death sounds like a Channel 5 misery-porn show about obese families.

Its sickening still thinking about it. Going through what he & his family are going through after going to watch a football match.

He played mostly under Woy in 10/11 but after Kenny took over in January, he barely played. He was loaned to Lille for the 11/12 season and he played 6 league games under Rodgers in 12/13 before rejoining West Ham in January 2013. After leaving Chelsea in 2010 at 28 years old, Cole played 69 premier league games in total, just 26 for us. For comparison, other free transfers: James Milner, signed at 29 years old, has played 223 league games and counting. Gary McAllister, signed at 35 years old, played 55 premier league games with us. He was a fat waster at 28, and Chelsea robbed us, selling him for fuck all.

Mason ain’t looking too shabby now is he fuck faces!

Is right. Them finally getting flushed would make this absolute clusterfuck of a season a totally different proposition - and i don't give a shiny shite how small time that may be - i am mr small of 95 small road, small town, smallshire, smalland - on this. It's payback time but with loads and loads and fucking loads of interest for all the shite they throw at us. Oh they may think it was funny when we nearly won the league and got lots of points, or when Real Madrid beat us in European Cup Finals etc.....they may think it is funny to become bezzies with the fucking mancs because they denied us trophies - and because of an our enemy is their friend mentality - blah, blah, blah, blah fucking blah..... BUT none of that and all their other shite could ever be anywhere near as funny as it would be to see those turds finally flushed. Ta-ra to your "longest run in top flight' record etc. The final season (supposedly) at the pit being played out with it hosting giants of the game like Coventry, Swansea, Rotherham and Bristol City. It will be the funniest and longest piss take in many, many decades and i for one am desperate to see it come to pass.

Some pictures from my city.

Well in Thiago - a midfielder who tackles. Hendo on, that's 2-2.

Probably still bitter

The injuries affected VVD pace wise but his attitude is his biggest problem at the moment, he does everything half-assed.

Trent has been great.

Its quite amusing over the years reading puff pieces in newspapers about these towering intellects and then weighing that against the reality of your own eyes. We live in a world where Oliver Dowden is described as the government's best communicator ffs.

Can't compare Mao and Bill. He ran everything into the ground, making false promises, making his subjects miserable and was never around when protests were made, drained all the Financial resources and wasted them on themselves. Literally enslaving everyone Mao ran a country.
