    Didn't listen to all of this but I don't think I've heard it be discussed yet how much better we look without trent and the inverted right formation 

     

    Bradley was wandering infield quite a bit during the game, so it wasn't that much different although he did pop up on the wing more often than Trent seems to.

    Christ. Reaching two finals in his first year with those players is among Klopp’s most remarkable achievements.

     

    Rodgers' team, that. Klopp got lucky with the players at his disposal.

    Paid 50p to get in the Anny Road - 1971 v Leicester 3-2. Also - I was allowed to take in a home made wooden ‘step’ to help me see better. Imagine trying to take a few bits of nailed-together 4x2 wooden blocks into the ground now! Also - I was able to leave that step in the same spot and it would still be there at every home game throughout the season. 

     

    Haha, I stood on a stool for my first game in '78 in the Paddock against 'Boro. Fell off it when we scored the second goal too.

    When I lived in Acton, we used to drink in a little pub by the station called The Albion. First time in there, we got invited to a stay behind and didn't get home until 6 the following morning. Was rough as houses, but the people in there were sound. Living in London, finding a friendly place to drink where strangers will strike up a conversation and the barmaids remember your round after only a couple of times going there is like gold dust.

     

    It's a fucking beauticians now. Cunts.

     

    Do you still get decent service?

    You want the manager replacing Klopp to have his side coming back from a losing position and never giving up. He’s ticking the remaining boxes here.

     

    Fuck that, I want the manager replacing Klopp to never be in a losing position and I'll never set foot in Anfield again until we get that. Or until I fluke a ticket.

    Ok so this seems to be latest....

     

    How the rankings stand at the moment?

    At the start of this week's round of European fixtures, Italy and Germany occupied the top two slots, with England in third.

     

    England are in a slightly worse position now than on Monday despite Arsenal's win over Porto in the Champions League.

     

    That is because Borussia Dortmund also won against PSV, and Germany's points are divided by seven to England's eight.

     

    Mikel Arteta's team collected three performance points, two for the win and one for going through. This is then divided by eight - the number of English teams who competed in Europe this season - and is added to the total.

     

    And this brings us back to West Ham v Freiburg.

     

    Given Italy's strong position - and the fact four of their teams go into respective last-16 ties in the Europa League and Europa Conference League in very strong positions - the prospect of Serie A not getting a European performance slot is slim.

     

    However, between England and Germany it is tighter, not least because three out of seven Bundesliga sides have already been eliminated and therefore can not accrue any more points.

     

    It would take a huge swing for Brighton, who are 4-0 behind against Roma, to change this situation.

     

    But with Arsenal and Manchester City already into the Champions League quarter-finals, Liverpool virtually there in the Europa League and Aston Villa favoured to advance in the Europa Conference League, England should have at least four teams through. Germany are likely to have at least three.

     

    If West Ham were to eliminate Freiburg, then like Arsenal they would secure three points. Depending on how it happened, if Freiburg went through then the German side would receive somewhere from one to three additional points, having already collected two points for winning the first leg.

     

    In coefficient terms, that is a swing of nearly a point. The gap at the start of this week was 0.875. The outcome will not be definitive, but whoever wins puts their country into a very strong position.

     

    From this article:

    That should go into the shitness thread. What a fucking ridiculous way to run a competition.

    A quick check on Wikipedia (so correct me if I’m wrong…) suggests this is the longest they’ve ever gone without a trophy. 

     

    Think so, yeah. The longest before that was when their glorious late '30s team was cruelly denied winning everything in sight by 70-odd million people carelessly getting killed in WW2. That took them them until the early '60s to recover.

    I'm currently 81 quid in credit with my energy company as my monthly payment went out yesterday.

     

    Tomorrow my energy company will add their charges for the month and I'll probably be 200 quid in debt again!

     

    I'm about £150 in credit, my electricity bill was actually negative last month as they'd overestimated, but I can't claim any of it back as they insist on having at least a month's worth of payment in hand. The only bright side is that I managed to adjust my direct debit down by £30 a month on each fuel. They wouldn't let you do that previously, no matter how much in credit you were.

    Someone said on twitter the other day that it wouldn't affect British people

    And people will still vote for that. Amazing isn't it, 'vote to be poorer and have less freedom of movement' and 'vote to have fewer rights' really seems to resonate with a certain species of moron.
