Could watch that all day
Thanks

Just watched Saint Virgs' elbow on Sander Berge.

How has that not been seen during the game and how can it escape the officials looking at it retrospectively?

I know, I know! It'll never be looked at.

Good I'd say...
He'll be on mega wages, and times clearly catching up with him...

They'll have to match his wages to keep konate, never mind if they commit to.keeping salah too

Twice in two games now he's been shown up by physical mobile centre forwards.....

With a bit more fortune he'd have been on the losing side in both of those games...

Even the commentators who cream over him are starting to catch on....

He's the least concerning player to stay for me...

I think its good as he is becoming more and more of a liability and he'll command some wedge!

Dress rehearsal for 'Da Champions parade' in full swing.

…..one thing I noticed in the recent Derby was how quiet it was. They are a club that have lost their local identity, large numbers of season tickets owned by people who sell them on weekly basis to tourist groups. Fans with half/half scarfs, taking videos on their phones, foreign accents, they play in the city but don’t belong in the city.

That model is fine when doing well as the media darlings but it only takes a dip and it could fall apart. I remember the Hodgson days when they couldn’t give tickets away in the pub, locals get used to not going and watching on telly.

I was up in Liverpool on Wednesday ready for the racing and got offered a ticket for the match. I gave it to my son as he had never been to a derby match at Anfield.
We met up in town afterwards and I asked his thoughts and he said the atmosphere was very flat and a bit surprising to him.
He also said that the section in the main stand next to where he was in the Away end was full of tourists with half and half scarfs and phones out not really watching the football.
The number of people I saw in town with pristine LFC scarves and club shop bags on the Wednesday and Thursday morning was staggering…a real eye opener for me(I don’t live in the City anymore).
Red mates I was at the racing with on Thursday all commented on how hard it is to get tickets and the increasing number of international fans and even some who “rented” access to season tickets were slowly being priced out.

If you sup with the devil then make sure you’ve gotta long spoon.

….commentator said loads made for the exits before the end like it was another match, it’s a Derby and they’re ticking down wins for the title. The scenes at our place after the Tarkowski goal.

Absolutely ridiculous that Fulham never got that penalty yesterday. It was stonewall.

Meanwhile in the same game, VVD elbows someone for the umpteenth time and nothing happens.

Am sure carragher will mention this in his next analysis….

Props to whoever wrote this, obviously leaving his/her name on the article too to avoid the abuse

That's an unfair comparison. Penalty to Liverpool.

 

[Yarrgh]

I don't post in this thread as I don't really care about them, but they've fallen off a cliff form wise since the Goodison Derby.

It was their cup final in all fairness. They wanted to win at least in one of our 3 stadiums this year.

 

[Yarrgh]

Yeah I spotted that when I re-checked. I thought it was 109 - hadn't my glasses on

Have you ever applied to VAR for a job?
