We needed 3 points. We got 3 points. That is all that matters.

Some strike that.

That was fucking poor. It is all there for us tonight and we just haven't looked like we fancy it properly. Half hour to put this right.

Saving themselves for their cup final on sunday.

Move ball quicker and better movement, please.

This. Every little bit of contact and it is amateur dramatics....but officials never deal with it so on it goes.

Mancs benching Rashford - small time cunts, saving him for their cup final on sunday... Erik ten Hag has told TNT that Marcus Rashford is on the bench for rotation to keep him and the team fresh through a busy period, with another big game against Liverpool on Sunday.

If you are offering odds can i have my life savings on the latter.....

The dreaded 'knock' Should mean he is back mid may

0-0 99 mins. 10 mins of added time being played. Ball goes out of play - corner to Liverpool. Corner is swung in and VVD leaps and plants a header past the Sheff Utd keeper - cue an explosion of joy and immense relief all round Anfield. But wait.....the ref is being spoken to by VAR....they want to look at something.... Kavanagh on VAR: "Stu, mate, the ball that went out of play went into The Kop, the corner was taken with a ball that the ball assistant rolled to the corner taker and was not as it should be taken by the player off a cone.....Come and look at the screen, Stu, mate'..... Attwell makes his way to screen: "Here you go look - the ball assistant just nudges it off the cone and into the players stride as he is coming across to take the corner, see there, stu mate....." "Ah yes, good spot, Kav mate - No goal then, yeah?" "No goal - confirmed" "Good process"........

Think he suffered some sort of allergic reaction to idea of playing football.

I wonder what Ronnie Moran would make of a potential medal.... Every season would start with the same ritual. Players would line up to collect their medals from a cardboard box, Moran’s words ringing in their ears. “Take one, if you think you’ve earned it."

Code's hard on for Thiago is a stonker.

What if.... Sums up his time at LFC nicely that.

20? Was 5...

Would be interesting to see their lines for that. I read it was cleared quickly too....

Total recall!

I was having a look on RAWK last night and some biff was actually advocating him getting a title winners medal if we win it this year....

Nice touch using the bacon as candles on her birthday cake and then serving it up to eat...

Good to see it being ignored already at arsenal - i am sure it will be enforced at anfield tomorrow.

Further to above: "In order to help speed up the game and avoid time-wasting, 14 balls -- seven on each side -- will now be available at the side of pitch, an increase of four from the previous system. Ball assistants will be required to return a ball to a vacant cone when it goes out of play and ensure that they are not positioned next to the ball cones. The Premier League has stated that ball assistants must sit behind pitchside advertising boards where possible."

I think they worked out we had benefited from the ball boys getting ball back in play quickly and decided to put a stop to that. The rule now states that "Ball Assistants are only allowed to retrieve match balls and replace them on the vacant cones and are not permitted to return a ball directly to a player."

It is running again on uk gold at present.

Staggering isn't it. We had Coote enforcing it on Sunday. Premier League ball boys and girls have been ordered to stop throwing the ball back to players during matches, amid concerns that the “multi-ball” system is giving home teams an unfair advantage. Updated ruling states that players must now collect a ball from the nearest cone, rather than receive one thrown to them. “Ball assistants”, as they are known in the Premier League handbook, are no longer allowed to even be positioned next to the cones during matches. The league hopes this will make it clear to players that they must fetch the ball themselves during games.
