Hilariously, Manchester City, that team they pinned all their hopes on this season, didn't need deluded imaginations to whip up some bizarre cup runs. City got them in real life (without even mentioning their very generous CL run), en route to both domestic cups, yet they weren't lucky while Liverpool were? Or something.

Rafa to Hodgson, even?

It should, theoretically. Some of its implementation in major tournaments so far has been a bit shit though. One hopes it will settle into something more consistent (if not perfect) ie DRS in cricket.

The real estate agent that sold our previous house was a born and bred Red. His daughters were named Shankly and Paisley.

'Norbert' might be a bit more subtle.

Remembered for his time at Liverpool, yet the only club he never won a trophy with. It's an interesting discussion to be had about what people, both players and fans alike, get out of the game. Further to that, is he the greatest ever Liverpool player to not win a trophy at the club?

There's a red in there with so many mic drops, the thing must be fucked by now.

Unless rain fucks with results some more, I can see India, England, Australia and New Zealand making the semi-finals, with India and England advancing to the final. One freak batting effort by Pakistan aside, those two have looked very strong so far. That said, the other two made the final last time around, so will at least have that experience to call on.

Rooney getting clattered WWE-style!

As many have mentioned, the obvious one being Div's goal in the final. I love this package of angles from LFC for that moment:

It's like the Micah Richards handball in the LC semi-final years ago. He didn't deliberately handle the ball, but he conveniently made himself big just in case... Bit like Bart and Lisa's fight really!

My Liverpool scarf needs replacing. It seems to be missing a star.

Wolves against City first up. Tricky.

You look at attendances recently for pre-season games in Australia, USA and through Asia. Massive crowds of 90-100k. That in a period where the club won a single League Cup over a 13-year period! The giant has awoken.

This is spot on haha https://twitter.com/Kristian_Walsh/status/1137732419396800519?s=20
