GR10 LFC

That may well explain why I saw Harry Kewell sat in the same place a couple of games ago then!

Still got the one I got for my 21st from my workmates at the time

Went up to Anfield this morning to pay my respects to the 97. Reading the names and ages on the memorial, it struck me that only 3 of them are older than me now. I’m 52 later this year and I think that really struck me more than ever how young most of them were.

Any chance of a gif of Mortons booking to include the onscreen time? Had a fiver @ 40/1 for corner, goal and booking before 9:59. I thought it was about 9:57 for booking but FlashScore showing 11 min and I’ve not been settled

I watched this last night and thought all five of them were so inspirational - a very moving programme that prompted me to make a donation during the show. Well done to your niece and the rest of them and agree with your comment above about Matt Baker - he was brilliant with all of them, making sure they each took in the credit from their own communities.

Seen a couple of Genesis tribute bands - all excellent (Visible Touch, Mama, The Carpet Crawlers and The Watch). Great way to keep the music alive (even though the real thing came out of retirement this year anyway!). Musically all four of the bands are superb and they generally have a theme to the show - The Watch only does Gabriel era. Also seen Stillmarillion a couple of times who only do Fish-era Marillion.

He did one for the other lad I work with - City fan - of David Silva which was just as good. A very talented guy and wasted in IT!

I have this in front of me in my home office. I work in IT and we have a regular turnover of staff from India coming onshore. One of them is a talented artist and drew this himself and gave it to me as a farewell gift. I love it.

Grio is a nickname derived from my surname. In the early days of internet and signing up for forums, etc it had to be 6 letters long so I just appended it with LFC. Then in 2010 my missus bought me a personalised car reg based on that - GR10 LFC

Saw some vintage cars and a film crew outside Croxteth Hall on my run the other day. Turns out they were filming for a new movie called The Midas Man, about the life of Brian Epstein.

Its on Sky Atlantic at 2am & 9pm next Monday (19th). Already set the series link on my Sky box.

The current game of Last Man Standing that I am running is drawing to a conclusion. 102 players joined the first game of the season - now down to the last three players with a prize pot of £510 to be won.

First four sets of fixtures are below - you only need to initially pick for Round 1. Basic rules are that you need to pick a team you think will win their game - win and you go through to next round, draw or lose and you go out. You can't pick the same team more than once - winner of the prize pot is the Last Man Standing. Full rules can be viewed here. Current game is now upto Round 8. Entry is £5 - all monies go into the prize pot. Payment details on request . Deadline for entries for Game 2 is 7pm on Friday 15th October.

Great show, Afterglow and Duchess were the highlights for me. Nic Collins was excellent. Watching clips on YouTube again now. Always like that getting out from the floor seats, even though they have side exits they send everyone down that back exit.

Haha, I wouldn't say amazing but it is giving me motivation (I even took my running gear to Lanzarote the other week and managed to get out every morning of our holiday - would never have dreamt of doing that in the past). I only started really getting into running at the start of lockdown - I had done a little bit of running in 2019 and I had done a couple of parkruns at that stage. I have been working from home right through so it was a reason to get out of the house each day and "away from the desk" and have Croxteth Park literally on my doorstep. Its now just become routine and a change of lifestyle (especially as I turned 50 last year) - I lost 2.5 stone from March to July last year and have managed to keep the weight off. Had a few leg issues this week with two runs finishing with pins and needles so I thought the streak would be over but today was day 257 and in the back of my mind now I am aiming for 365 days. Finished 52nd in parkrun the other week out of just on 400 people and brought my PB down to 22:35. Running my first official half marathon later this month - looking forward to that!

Pretty chuffed to have reached this land mark today - 250 consecutive days of running at least 5km a day. Tempted to try and push for 365 now…..

Can't wait for the 3rd October! The reviews and social media comments all seem very positive.

No, Lloyds. Our IT centre is near the civic centre

Had the “pleasure” of working there for the last 20 years. I’m that fed up of working from home, I’m actually looking forward to going back there!!!

My son been using my season ticket last few seasons. He’s away so thought I’d take a game in. Downloaded the season ticket to my phone on Thursday night, no problem. Goes for a drink with a mate and as I walked up to the turnstiles went into my Apple wallet and no ticket there! Logged into website and I couldn’t download ticket as it was detected on another phone. Had to go to ticket office where queues were ridiculous. While waiting my son somehow sent ticket my email and I was able to add to wallet again but then had to rejoin queue at turnstiles. Just about got in for kick off but there was still massive crowds outside the Kop

Fit me ok! TBH, they're not as skin tight as the photos look. As I said, only bought them for running in colder weather - cheaper than going out and buying from elsewhere!

I just ordered a tracksuit from there the other week. Tracking showed it leaving China on Monday 9th. Got a text and email from Royal Mail on Friday afternoon (20th) that it had cleared customs and it was delivered Saturday morning. Excellent quality for £20 - will do me for running in the winter.

67 confirmed entries so far, so a prize pot of at least £335 for this game. Deadline is 7pm if anyone thinking about it......

If anyone is interested, I have been running a Last Man Standing competition for the past couple of seasons. For those that haven’t played before – you need to pick a team that you think will win their game that weekend – they win and you go through, draw or lose and you are out. Rinse and repeat for subsequent rounds until the last person is standing and takes the prize pot – you cant pick the same team twice. Full rules can be viewed here. Ran 5 games of this last season, with an average of 81 players and an average prize of £461. Entry is £5 (will provide payment details upon entry) and you must send me an email by 7pm on Friday 13th August (an hour before the first game kicks off) with your selection for Round 1. First four sets of fixtures below, to let you plan ahead (you only need to let me know Round 1 to start with though!). ROUND 1 Friday 13 August 2021 Brentford 20:00 Arsenal Saturday 14 August 2021 Man Utd 12:30 Leeds Burnley 15:00 Brighton Chelsea 15:00 Crystal Palace Everton 15:00 Southampton Leicester 15:00 Wolves Watford 15:00 Aston Villa Norwich 17:30 Liverpool Sunday 15 August 2021 Newcastle 14:00 West Ham Spurs 16:30 Man City ROUND 2 Saturday 21 August 2021 Liverpool 12:30 Burnley Aston Villa 15:00 Newcastle Crystal Palace 15:00 Brentford Leeds 15:00 Everton Man City 15:00 Norwich Brighton 17:30 Watford Sunday 22 August 2021 Southampton 14:00 Man Utd Wolves 14:00 Spurs Arsenal 16:30 Chelsea Monday 23 August 2021 West Ham 20:00 Leicester ROUND 3 Saturday 28 August 2021 Man City 12:30 Arsenal Aston Villa 15:00 Brentford Brighton 15:00 Everton Newcastle 15:00 Southampton Norwich 15:00 Leicester West Ham 15:00 Crystal Palace Liverpool 17:30 Chelsea Sunday 29 August 2021 Burnley 14:00 Leeds Spurs 14:00 Watford Wolves 16:30 Man Utd ROUND 4 Saturday 11 September 2021 Crystal Palace 12:30 Spurs Arsenal 15:00 Norwich Brentford 15:00 Brighton Leicester 15:00 Man City Man Utd 15:00 Newcastle Southampton 15:00 West Ham Watford 15:00 Wolves Chelsea 17:30 Aston Villa Sunday 12 September 2021 Leeds 16:30 Liverpool Monday 13 September 2021 Everton 20:00 Burnley

I know - we saw the funny side, eventually!
