This rubbish manager is small, and this rubbish manager is far away...

Agreed. At his best, Gomez is the one that could come as close as anyone to 'replacing' Virgil if he ever got injured. In spite of them both having played well alongside Virgil, a partnership of Matip and Lovren would still give me the absolute fear. But Gomez alongside either Matip or Lovren would be ok — a drop in quality of course, as van Dijk is genuinely the best centre back I have ever seen — but ok nonetheless.

The place is absolutely Gomez's to lose now. I think there's little doubt that Klopp has always seen Gomez as Virgil's long-term partner; had he not got the injury against Burnley I'm not sure Matip would have got a look in. I'd be astonished if Klopp chose to break up a defence that has kept 7 clean sheets in a row for one of the toughest games we have left this season...

Looks very decent, though beef sausages completely suck.

Yeah, the venue was good. I used to live 5 minutes' walk from Ally Pally and for some reason never went until this year.

Yeah, I'd agree with that — in just about every single match (bar the final) the person I wanted to win got knocked out.

I went to the John Higgins v Barry Hawkins match and the standard was absolutely fucking woeful.

Bit arrogant mate, what exactly did you do?

That's one of the greatest knee slides ever. I often think that the only reason I didn't become a world famous professional footballer is because I know I couldn't do a decent knee slide. Similarly I have not taken my coaching badges because I can't whistle loud enough.

Yeah, winning it by 20 points would be such a let down; not sure how I'd cope.

At last we can cancel Henderson's contract and move on with our lives.

Full of twats it may be, but he had some team at Chelsea didn't he...

When we signed him and Alisson, I told all who would listen that Keita was the one I had no doubts about and would prove to be one of the best players in the league. I was wrong, I hate them both and would happily cancel their contracts immediately.

The fascist shrimp had me in hysterics.
