  1. This is where my head’s at, especially when you factor in that other variable….. you never know what kind of performance you’re going to get from the officials.
  2. That line up was typical of the kind of luck that Klopp has regularly suffered. Origi and Sakho had been brilliant in that cup run. IIRC Sakho couldn’t play the final because of that spurious doping charge, which eventually died away and Origi was still regaining fitness after that horrendous Funes Mori tackle. (Don’t know why he picked Toure ahead of Skrtel though). And then there was that utter cunt of a ref. The fact that Juergen gets so much more out of far less available resource and with far greater challenges is what makes him a much better coach than P€p.
  3. Jonathan Northcroft last Sunday….. This is why everybody wants to have a pint with Juergen, and the little weirdo in the corner of the pub on his lonesome is Guardiola.
  4. Typical of Arsenal’s luck, that when they do get taken into extra time, they don’t have to play again three days later. Penalties. Let’s see what bottle they have.
  5. Totally agree with this. It’s one thing holding your ground, but this was a centre half using his weight to barge a much smaller player when the ball wasn’t in playing distance. That’s usually Robbo’s position and I wonder if that would have made any difference. Another aspect of this blocking thing that now seems accepted is when defenders move into the path of forwards who are trying to close down the player with the ball eg at kickoffs, often throwing an arm across to impede the run.
  6. Here’s the incident Dave mentions when the Lino flagged early and the whistle went as Nunez was about to shoot. Doesn’t even look offside, let alone borderline…
  7. It's incredible what these lads have done this season and especially in the last few weeks. When you look at the players we've been missing and still are missing, top,top players like Mo, who hasn't started a game since early January, Trent, Jota, Matip, Konate this weekend - compared with the absences suffered by our rivals (Grealish, meh, Zinchenko - weak link, Tomiyasu etc), it's amazing. Meaning that the lads who are available are having to play lots of minutes, and the youngsters who are drafted in have to perform. And then factor in the regular shaftings we're getting from PGMOL - stonewall penalties not given against Arsenal, City, the Spurs fiasco, Brighton away. There would be clear daylight between us and the rest if PGMOL had a higher level of competence and integrity. Of course, we got a contentious drop ball in our own box last week, so I suppose that evens it all out. We're way ahead of any expectations I had at the start of the season, but it will be a travesty if Klopp doesn't sign off with more silverware than what we've already won this season.
  8. “Probably looking at his bank account..’. Nailed it.
  9. I loved the way the commentary team kept bemoaning the absence of Shaw and Martinez. The same Shaw and Martinez who, along with Varane, got tonked for seven (SEVEN) a year ago.
  10. You’d think. But that’s pretty much what they’ve just done at home to …. Everton
  11. I record MotD, but often don’t get round to watching it until after I’ve read Dave’s roundup and find out about the interesting bits. Even then I fast forward through the ‘punditry’.
  12. The City figure is just Haaland’s wages, though, isn’t it?:)
  13. I gave him 5 minutes before switching to Mute. He doesn’t seem to know what’s happening half the time, maybe he was doing Wordle. I saw that we’d been given a penalty 20, if not 30 seconds before he did. Muppet.
