I'm not happy he's dead. But not sad either. Indifferent. With a little bit of if you're prepared to violate the privacy and sense of security of a person's home, you've voluntarily put your own safety at jeopardy and if shit goes down, then tough. One thing I disagree with that I've seen is that the man shouldn't have been arrested. He absolutely should have. Somebody died in his house. The circumstances of that death needed to be investigated. It was a burglary, but the bloke's word shouldn't have just been accepted as the truth. An investigation was needed. He needed to be questioned to give his version of events. It was actually in the old fella's best interests to be arrested so that his account could be documented, which has ultimately led to him not incurring any criminal liability as he's appeared to have used and appropriate level of self defence, rather than going all Tony Martin.

Surely not? And here's me thinking that our only concern in the return leg was Karius getting dazzled by the home fan's halos.

Scrap the above. It's a blag team doing the rounds. My mate has just messaged me and said the real team is: Karius Clyne VVD Lovren Klavan Milner Wijnaldum Henderson Ings Solanke Mané

My mate is awaiting full confirmation, but the early talk is: Mignolet Clyne Masterson Lovren Moreno Wijnaldum Henderson Woodburn Solanke Ings Firmino

Another one from him today. He's trolling the blooooos here. Allardyce: "West Brom were above us when I got here. Look where we are now and where they are."

Aftertiming, but I've got Speith and Kuchar outright, e/w. And Adam Scott and Rahm. Not so good.

Allardyce today. I'm not sure whether to laugh at his delusion, or admire his big balled arrogance? "I have to say to my players we've got to do to Liverpool, what Liverpool did to Man City because that's the sort of plan I've put together in the past"

Almost as shite as his "funny" one liners on The Apprentice.

The Real Madrid one was when they played Hey Jude dead loud. That won't intimidate us. We'll be joining in!

The MEN is trying to take the moral highground by reporting that the/a City coach stopped to allow their medical staff to treat a Liverpool fan involved in an RTA. There's a definite look at them vs look at us tone to the article and reader comments. Talk of a difference in morals etc. Do these dickheads not realise that they're owned by a royal family who have been linked to numerous human rights abuses in their home country and that they just acquiesce to such matters because they buy them success? Morals? Get to fuck!

Council could entirely fund Everton’s new £500m stadium if club cannot raise its share, says Mayor Liverpool City Council could entirely fund Everton FC’s £500m new stadium if the club were unable to raise their share of the cost via private investment. City Mayor Joe Anderson told LBN there was a possible scenario where the city could build and own the stadium, planned for Bramley Moore Dock on the waterfront, and lease it back to the club. The current arrangement will see the council borrow £280m at ultra-low interest rates and then pass that loan on to the club at a profit to the city of around £7m a year over 25 years. That still leaves around £220m for Everton to find and last month the club’s chief executive Robert Elstone admitted raising the balance would “not be easy”. So while both the Mayor and the club are still confident Everton can raise its share of the funding and go ahead with the current model, the idea of the city funding the whole project is an option on the table. The downside of that from Everton’s point of view would be they would not be the owners of their own stadium and would possibly have less control over the final design and specification. The club has set an ambitious timetable for delivery with work starting in summer 2019 and the stadium ready for the kick-off of the 2022/23 season. “There is an open door to the possibility – it is not ruled out,” Mayor Anderson told LBN. “Everton want to own their own stadium and they are still confident they can raise the money that would allow them to do that.” He added that if such a ‘plan b’ were to be implemented it would significantly change the terms of the whole deal. He explained: “There would have to be a completely different securitisation package to go along with that.” Both the Mayor and Everton see the successful delivery of the stadium as essential for their own separate reasons. It is estimated the club’s current home, Goodison Park, will no longer be fit for purpose in less than a decade and Mr Elstone says the new stadium is essential to “future-proof” the club. One way or another, Everton will have to find a new home. Mayor Anderson sees the stadium as the anchor development for the wider regeneration of Liverpool’s Northern Docklands. He sees it as a catalyst for both the Ten Streets scheme and the £5bn Liverpool Waters Project, incorporating the new cruise liner terminal. The original plan, unveiled a year ago, would have seen Everton raising all of the funding itself with the council acting as guarantor on the loan. That changed, Mayor Anderson said, when he realised the city could benefit financially by becoming a direct funder via the loan arrangement. Critics of the project, such as opposition Lib Dems on the council as well as a significant number of Liverpool residents, say the investment could be too risky. The Mayor has pledged there will be full transparency and a vote of the full council before any agreement is signed. https://lbndaily.co.uk/council-entirely-fund-evertons-new-500m-stadium-club-cannot-raise-share-says-mayor/

Seen a few of them using the Eric Bristow tribute to say that's how true sports fans in Liverpool behave, not throwing bottles etc. They're mentally ill. Hijacking something like that and still having to squeeze a reference to us in there somehow.

Just seen that. Ridiculously unlucky. One shot, the ball practically stopped dead then just started rolling again, off down the hill and into the drink.

May be out for the season.

I said earlier "I wonder who'll die tonight?" He's the Grim Reaper!

That last one is somewhat ironic given the woe is me cryarsing that preceded it. And, what is it with the crying about booing. It's pathetic. Man/woman/gender neutral the fuck up.

Yes! This! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/apr/05/kop-atmosphere-liverpool-fans-anfield-manchester-city Wild, furious, almost feral: from the Kop this felt like a collective triumph The atmosphere inside Anfield helped Liverpool to victory over Manchester City. In an era of agents’ fees and expected goals it was a reminder of what football should be about Sachin Nakrani at Anfield @SachinNakrani Thu 5 Apr 2018 10.47 BSTLast modified on Thu 5 Apr 2018 14.39 BST View more sharing options Shares 308 Comments924 Football has increasingly become a sport judged on tangibles. This is the age of expected goals and big chances, of statisticians sitting behind laptops and pundits sitting in front of touch screens looking for definite reasons to explain why results happen. The discourse has changed and can be illuminating. Equally, it can be needlessly complicated and corrosive. Because, at its heart, football is just how Bill Shankly described it: “terribly simple”. Yes, there are laws and regulations but none so overbearing as to wreck the flow of a game should those involved be in the mood to put on a show. It is easy to follow and, crucially, open to being affected not only by talent but emotion. Pep Guardiola’s tactical gamble with Raheem Sterling goes belly-up Jonathan Wilson Read more Which brings us on to what occurred at Anfield on Wednesday evening. In case you missed it, Manchester City were hammered. The best team in the country, champions-elect no less, reduced to wrecks by rampant hosts, and if one image summed up the torment it was that of Pep Guardiola striding to the edge of his technical area midway through the first half and gesturing to his side to stay calm. Liverpool were 2-0 up; soon afterwards they scored again and there was nothing City’s manager or players could do about it. How did this happen? Most will point to Liverpool excellent display as the principal cause. Quite right, too. But something else was also at play, an inexplicable, intangible force. How do I know? Because I helped create it. Much was made about Anfield’s atmosphere in the buildup to this Champions Leaguequarter-final. Almost as soon as the draw was made, Liverpool supporters took to Twitter to proclaim how the noise and colour of a European night at the home of European royalty would prove too much for their visitors from across the M62. In turn, City supporters rolled their collective online eyes and dismissed Anfield’s legendary atmosphere as a myth. One even suggested, with dripping sarcasm, that those “flags will really intimidate David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne”. I’m not going to lie, that particular tweet riled me, mainly because I know some of the people who fly those flags and have seen first-hand what they can help generate under Anfield’s lights. Play Video 1:01 Manchester City coach posts footage of attack on team bus – video The standout occasion remains that 2005 Champions League semi-final second leg against Chelsea. Anfield hadn’t rocked so hard since David Fairclough scored against Saint-Étienne in 1977 and you could see Chelsea’s players – who, it should be remembered, had been crowned champions a few days earlier – struggling with the intensity of it all. John Terry was reduced to tears and later described the atmosphere that evening as the best he has played in. The Fiver: the Guardian's take on the world of football Read more After Chelsea came victories against teams such as Internazionale, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, and while it would be foolish to suggest it was purely, or even largely, the Anfield atmosphere that got Liverpool over the line, neither should the role of the home crowd be dismissed out of hand. Anfield’s European din may be overly hyped but the fact it is so often talked about, by neutrals as well as Liverpool fans, means it must be rooted in something felt and feared. It was certainly felt on Wednesday, no more so than in Block 305 of the Kop. Frenzied on the most mundane of occasions, it turned practically feral up there. ‘Mohamed Salah’s opening goal was the cue for bedlam.’ Photograph: Matt McNulty/JMP/Rex/Shutterstock I got to my seat just before 7pm and the singing had started. As kick-off got closer it got louder and more furious, and by the time the fella who stands to my left turned up wild with adrenaline I knew it was going to be one hell of a night. Mohamed Salah’s opening goal was the cue for bedlam. Bodies flew this way and that, hugs were given as well as received, and the noise became deafening. City kept probing but they were clearly rocked. At the opposite end of the ground, meanwhile, the away fans appeared shellshocked. We did warn you, lads. Given the senseless attack that took place on City’s team bus before kick-off, this was not a night for all Liverpool fans to feel proud, and each and everyone of us should be aware that despite having a 3-0 lead to take to the Etihad Stadium next week, this tie is not over. For now, however, Liverpool supporters should, in the main, feel chuffed with their team and themselves. This was a collective triumph – one spurred on by the other. Anfield at its best. Manchester City players refuse to blame bus attack for Liverpool defeat Read more And to any non-Reds reading this with increasing cynicism, allow me to ask this: why not take at least a modicum of pleasure from the possibility that a group of supporters can make a difference to their team’s display? Surely that is something to cherish in a climate where figures, financial as well as statistical, increasingly rule supreme. I don’t know about you but I didn’t get into football to know about agents’ fees and xG trends. I did so because, at the age of eight, the sport took a grip of me in a way I could hardly explain. There was a intangible magic I wanted more of and it’s that which keeps pulling me back in. What a night.

Didn't we get charged for singing "Manchester is full of shit" too, or some other non-offensive song?

The charges are: Setting off of fireworks - Article 16 (2) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations (DR) Throwing of objects - Art. 16 (2) DR Acts of damage - Art. 16 (2) DR Crowd disturbances - Art. 16 (2) DR Won't be dealt with until May 31st, so any behind closed doors punishment, if forthcoming, won't kick in until next season.

UEFA statement released. Four charges made against us.

It was more than one can on other videos. Glass bottles and flares too. But, about 10 to 15 things thrown in total, I'd say. Not the massive assault that it's been built up as, but silly nonetheless. Particularly when UEFA charged us a good few times during our recent Europa League campaign. Some weapons are calling for us to be kicked out. Can't see that happening. But, if UEFA took a repeat offender/cumulative approach to disciplining us for this offence, it could be treated fairly seriously.

Kompany is going on about City's "own little reception" that awaits us in the second leg. I'm sure we'll, fans and players, shit ourselves at them playing a Beatles song dead loud before kick off...

Man City had ZERO attempts on target tonight. They trained at Goodison earlier today. Coincidence? Hmmmmm...
