I vaguely remember a game against United at Anfield where he missed one and declaring myself ‘done with him’.

I think it was at the Kop End, it was either 2-2, or maybe we were losing 1-2, but he was through, on the volley, did a complete air shot. 

It was disappointing.

The needless dropping of personal pronouns. Why? What does it save?

When I tweet about this later I will be saying 'I just made an inconsequential and tedious post on TLW' NOT 'Just made an...etc.'

If Leicester win by one goal and we draw with Burnley we’d go into the last game level on points and GD with Chelsea. 

Although Liverpool have scored more goals...

Erdinger Alcohol Free is actually pretty nice.

And why was the 5th round draw done as well ? Shite like that hasn't happened before but hey it's teams playing weakened sides that's ruining the tradition of the cup

It is I believe to help with planning given that the fixtures are going to be so close together. The 5th round games will all be midweek... 

If I was in GW’s position, I might be looking at next season and seeing the midfield first choice being Thiago, Fabinho and Henderson. GW will be 31 next season – as will Henderson. If a successor to Henderson is looked for that player will be ahead of GW. So, the risk is that for the last 3-4 years of his career (assuming he will be finishing at 34/35) he is at a big club, with a good contract, but a squad player. He is too good a player to be squad at Liverpool but the longer he is the less likely he is to get a move to a good club. Moving this season on a free makes a lot of career sense.

I wish that this was not the case.

This may be addressed elsewhere but using the word 'insane' to refer to anything even slightly noteworthy. 

George Clooney. Sanctimonious creep.

I watched the Ronnie Scott's program, I am old enough to have been there a few times when he was still with us, although I never saw him play. The program is excellent, perhaps a bit longer than it needed to be, a bit like jazz itself for me.

When Lewis Hamilton won his first WC, I was in the happy position of not knowing who Nicole Scherzinger (sp?) was. Given that she was celebrating with him I thought she was his (admittedly well preserved) mum. 

Root is a waste of a shirt in this team, it has actually helped England him getting out for a GD. Pitch looks nice and bouncy, hopefully a 330+ score and a decent chase to finish the series. Hazlewood does not look as threatening in this match, he's conceded as many from 4 as he did in 10 in his last game.

Apologies if already posted. 
 

We’ve taken up a new sponsorship with Cadbury’s, hopefully they can use some of this Willy Wonka money to sign some players.

 

Sounds flakey.

I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine
I thought bum was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was skirting around you
I didn't know I was looking for bum
Until I found you

If you dislike a song I find you can sweeten the pill by replacing the word 'love' with 'bum'.

Such as - 'I would do anything for bum, but I won't do that'.

Or 'I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever going to bum you'.

They could be. Are they significantly worse than we were before we signed Suarez and had sterling and coutinho come through/step up a level?

 

the team we almost won the league with under Rodgers was a decent side, and challenged, but it wasn’t exactly Brazil 70 however much fun it was to watch that year and however good we could be on our day.

 

the reality is though that you need an awful lot to fall for you when you have a good team that’s great on its day, while competing against great teams. We found that out.

 

are they worse than Leicester were when they won it? They play worse football but man for man they’re similar levels so 2-3 good signings makes them challengers.

 

outside challengers, and at a level I have no fear of them being at, but challengers nonetheless.

Plus no Europe that year, and (from memory) early exits in the Cups (one courtesy of Howard Webb?). I think we played something crazy like 43 games all season.

They didn't retrospectively award the win to the second place finisher in the Tour de France after stripping Armstrong.  So in that case you do want us to claim the trophies?

 

In some cases they had to drag the 6th or 7th place person out of retirement because the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc rider had also been banned. The rules for doping are different though, a doping violation in an individual event or comp = DQ. A DQ is effectively the same as never having competed, so it has to go down the results chain. 

I really like Juan Mata. A grown up in the Xabi Alonso mould, just a really decent guy who's good at footy.

The disallowed goal was one of the most scintillating pieces of play I have seen in ages; proper out of your seat open-mouthed stuff. I'm not sure the footage is available anywhere online to watch again?

£10 a ticket with the club making up the difference to Shrewbury. Never going to happen, and would cost a fair few quid, but would enable the club to claw back some positivity with both our fans and the press.

Agreed. If Shrewsbury are bringing (say) 5,000 and they would have paid £50 a ticket, that's £250,000 for the club. If they get charged £10 a ticket the £200,000 difference is not going to hurt LFC's bottom line. But there will doubtless be some FA Rule that forbids a club subsiding another blah blah blah.

Small of me, but I liked the fact that Coady watched the winning goal sail in while he was sat on his backside. 

I am put in mind of Jesus in South Park.

Yay - hear me my children:

18 - Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

19 - See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up, do you not perceive it?

Monterrey's badge looks like a pair of underpants.

Worth noting that Everton also have a Sun ban, and will not be changing it.
