Brother picked this up in a little Japanese second-hand book store. Says ‘Funny, touching and full of surprises, this is a book that like the man himself will appeal to all age groups’ on the back.

Ant & Dec, Tony Blair, Chris Eubank, Brian Blessed, Gabby Logan, SKY football, Malcolm Macdonald, Kevin Keegan, Sir Bobby Robson’s Ghost, Kevin D, Creator Supreme - your boys took a hell of a beating. A HELL of a beating.

Diaz looking great by the way. Best he's played in ages.

Gary Neville is a massive, massive fucking cunt.

ill be brutally honest and seem to be finding the monotony of being middle aged rather tough at times. nothing negative in my life per se, but generally just finding life hard at the moment. ive no money worries what so ever, have a wife and two young children, all healthy. the young lad is on the spectrum, i definitely find that difficult, dealing with the tantrums etc..... maybe its the fact you see your friends less, or that your time is less "your time" when hit your 40's that i find awkward, i dont know, i cant put my finger on it. some days i feel rather down about it, the little things like waking up and having to get someone else sorted before looking after yourself. i know i sound like a selfish prick, and i dare never say it to the wife. But it can be bloody draining cant it.

Gomez was solid too.

Gary Neville is a cunt.

The only thing stopping this lad is diabetes.

Doesn't know she's born

And what if city don't go on a crazy run and just go on a decent run, dropping some points along the way? This is a season where it looks like they can't hit a stupid total, so we should be doing everything we can to get as close to 90 points, which will probably win it. In fact it would be a surprise if it needed quite that many from here. City are exactly half way through their games and are on 40 points. They still have to come to us and we have a good record at anfield against them. The maximum points they can hit is 97, winning their remaining 19 games. Which means to hit 90 points they could only draw 2 and lose one for the rest of the season. This league is winnable, but the squad is on its arse and we're about to lose 2 of our mainstays of the last month for a.month and now have Kostas on the long term list, which stretches the defence with only 4.5 players fit. And we have a league cup semi double header and the arsenal cup game, which will impact the legs of the players who are available. And I'm assuming we'll want to win one if not both of the cup ties. We've 2 players who are effectively finished with us as their contracts are done in the summer and one won't play agaon this season and the other hasn't played at all yet, being about a month away from fitness since the first training session of pre-season. We just need to bite the bullet and bring forward planned purchases for the summer to replace the pair. It's not a massive financial risk or exposure. But it might just help us pinch one or two more points that could make all the difference over the 18 games we'll have after today. If we're serious about winning titles, the squad will get some support this month. If we're happy to sit back and let city win the title while we're just content to be back in the CL, we won't.

I don't have any spiritual or religious beliefs so I think that helps shape my outlook a lot. I won't be here forever and in a hundred years I'll be pretty much forgotten so the only things that are truly important are the happiness of me, my kids and the people around me. Little things that happen during a day and at work don't stress me as they're only things that are being done at a point in time and I have bigger priorities than things like my career. I view money as a means to an end and I'm not impressed by expensive things. I've been to places with very wealthy people through work and experienced things probably not many get to but I'm happier having a week in Benidorm on the piss with my mates. In contrast Monaco for example is my idea of hell on earth. As with anyone I have cycles of good and bad times. The only way through the bad times is making the little changes I can to make things better and to not waste time worrying about things I can't change. That can be easier said than done at times and as a single dad there are times loneliness has kicked in a little despite having lots of friends but I know that all times pass and those times do too. Overall I think I'm a decent fella and try to be friendly to people I meet if they are to me. I see myself as no better or worse than anyone else and I'm quite happy with that.

To everyone on here - I hope next year is one you'll look back on with fantastic memories, and you get to enjoy life and living, whatever your circumstances. HNY all. xx

I think Jota probably does exaggerate the fall, call it a dive if you like. But so what? He was clearly fouled and it was a clear pen, and these days we constantly hear that players are entitled to go down if there's contact (never mind contact which the attacker has initiated, clearly not the case here). Does this unwritten "rule" (and it's shrugs of acceptance indeed in some cases applauded) not apply to Liverpool players? Funny that, another one of those different rules we seem to have to play by.

Thought Endo was like a peak Makelele out there tonight.

Salah has only missed 10 league games since signed for us and most of them were because of the AFCON.That’s fucking amazing.

Hey, Eddie, how about you take your misgivings and injustices out on City at home in the next game? Plenty of fuel to fire your lads up in front of a home crowd. Yeah, some managers just get sacked...

A thoroughly enjoyable night, tempered only by my decision to replace triple captain Mo with Julian Alvarez. Also, im probably guilty of it myself and ill be called out for the hypocrite i am, however, given we are top of the league at this point of the season, it does stick in the craw when you read some oft he abuse the players get on here from some. Im not talking about how good or not you think they are, i mean the bizarre personal insults people throw.

Diaz has been outstanding

Baros was immense. Loved him

My three after a long day.

A picture of my Frenchie, Blue. Crazy little bastard. So much fun.

Animal-Lecter.

The boy wonder got a new coat for Christmas. He's also started being a complete shouty knobhead in the car, so he's in bad books.

50 years ago ….

One thing you can say about Ivan Toney is he'll always back himself. As part of a long-odds accumulator usually...

Looking forward to this, I think we will give them a good hiding actually. They are dead on their feet, and this is not the game where they will save their season. Will be my first game at Anfield since 2014 (WBA at home). Hoping the weather isn’t too bad. Caught the fireworks at Albert Dock earlier, and it was more than a bit windy!

I do get the impression that the average level of intelligence on here is extremely high, and this can sometimes be an issue as most of the truly happy people I have met are too thick to worry about anything

I saw this the other day & thought it summed up life quite nicely... The three stages of life:- 1. Birth 2. What the fuck is this? 3. Death

Dunno where to post this so I'll stick it in here.

Started the new year with roast pork.

why do you allow yourself to get upset/angry because of what these melts say? Just switch it off FFS.

He's got limbs at stake, I'd be claiming every mitigating circumstance possible in case I ended up in a suitcase.

Haha fuck off Howe you blood money taking cunt

Pipe down, pig-tits.

Salah's got two goals and easily been our worst player. Legend

Neville is one embarrassing cunt.

I was looking to swerve Sky and came across Tyler. Fuck that, back to Sky.

The team put out in chronological order in this modern squad number age, is fucking annoying

Pathetic that we’re bringing in a loser like Beck.

I read that in Daniel Kaffee’s voice…

Love that mate. Caught a similar one of ours recently…

I think they will set up like lampard's Everton team did at anfield a while back and try to use Gordon in the same way in the space Trent vacates inside instead of upfield and go down if a player gets within 5 yards of him. I don't expect them to have focus on anything other than 0-0, time waste from the opening kick and hope we (or the officials) drop a bollock and give them a chance. They were the biggest shithouses at anfield last season, time wasting from the opening minute with the keeper faking injury. I expect absolutely no different today. Beheadie is a massive cunt and that kicking they took the other day even gives him a pass to set up like this.

Oh i hear you...but it was a deliberate comparison....plenty of people think Thiago will just walk back into our side and be boss after he has barely kicked a ball for not far off 12 months and has bits falling off him....Yet at same time people say Toney will be fucked because he has missed months banned.

Surrounded by them, they don't seem to mind what they are called. Also, plenty of Spurs fans I've come across are happy being called 'yids'. My first experience of football hooliganism was in that clock end when I was about 16. Bunch of older, much bigger dickheads nicked my scarf. Spotted the ringleader at Euston a week later and I had some mates with me. Never seen anyone run as fast as that cunt did.

Thiago and Bacjetic shouldn't even be mentioned as options. They just aren't if we are lucky they may end up with a couple of games.

I read the opening post then couldn't read anyone else's input (although I did see a window les mis perv gif and checked) Changes constantly. Right this second I'm positive for the future I guess. Last 5/6 months I've been fighting my own head not to get to the place where I was hoping I could spend a day getting as drunk as I can to just end it all. Citalopram has helped but mistakes and shit.... I'm a good lad but I'm too impulsive and make stupid mistakes. The world's a cunt hole but another way of looking at it is, the worlds the cunt hole that you make it. For all the shit in the world, there's some fucking brilliant people on this planet and it's time we all gravitated towards that. If you're happy or sad or unsure, I hope you find a way to breath in and remind yourself that you're the lucky one. xx Oh and Dire Straits are boss.

Jesus fuckin Christ, is this part of the asylum?

Arsenal without D.Rice after 20 games last season, 50 points, with D.Rice this season 40 points. West Ham with D.Rice last season after 20 games, 18 points, without D.Rice this season after 19 games, 33 points. Transformative player indeed.
