That is terrible news, Dave, and an awful lot to deal with. Sincere sympathies to you and your family at this difficult time in your lives.

Great report. Thought Naby was really poor in the first half but we know what happens when Fab is missing. Loved that Klopp was still going for the three points playing with 10 men. Furious with the incompetent officials but this line (Klopp may have stormed the pitch and beat the shit out of Tierney if that had happened) made me laugh out loud. Liverpool and Chelsea were screwed over yesterday while full strength City motored on. The integrity of the league is being damaged.

The way things are going we'd be better off with Kelleher up front than Divock

You've had a great season yourself, Dave, and this is another gem: "His face should be on a postage stamp and five pound notes."

I don't want this team to drop any more points either. Henderson comments spot on. Be a concern if he's not back for the second leg...

That Everton report is one of the funniest you’ve ever written. Tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Simply brilliant

Another great report, Dave. Happy new decade!

Spot on re the Man City PR, their constant whining and Sterling's non-apology apology. Weirdly, now starting to like Roy Keane. Took a long, long time but he's winning me over!

That Fabinho story is great but what else is he gonna say? He's sitting in a bath. bollock naked, with Klopp looming over him! There can only be right answer..."Yes, boss, now can I get back to my bath?"

Cruel... the way kids speak the unvarnished truth. Bet she liked that story about the emperor's new clothes too

Happy birthday, Dave. Mine was the day before (I'm one of those older fellas you referred to) and I also got that video. It's so well done that all 700 million fans around the world (at least that's what Paul Joyce wrote today) should join the club site just for that!

You're spoiling us...

Thanks for the report, Dave. Couldn't put this to bed until you had your say! Enjoy the tension-free summer!

I'm not sure which is more impressive. The match or the fact that you've managed to capture the moment in 6,274 words when everybody else has spent the day at work blabbing to anyone who will listen and watching the highlights over and over and over....

"How would we cope without two of our front three?" We'll find out on Tuesday
