Frigging Rodgers.

Who was the Moscow club? Lokomotiv? Dynamo? Drawing a blank but it was moved to a small, shity ground. Think for ice.

I caved and looked it up. It was neither. It was Spartak ha ha. Game was moved though to Dinamo's ground. We'd won 5 the first leg. It was sub zero. And only 15K tipped up. I want a pass because I never made the trip lol.

My trips to the **** hole that is Russia and the former Soviet States are Spartak in '92, memorable for Burrows ending up in nets with Grobbelaar's shirt down below his knees, all after Alan Kennedy had nearly caused an International incident in Lenin's tomb and a young moi had been relieved of all my spends by the Moscow bizzies after they'd twatted us with their sticks just because the early hours of the morning before the game (it's Moscow. Who yer gonna' complain to? *****!); Vladikavkaz in '95 which was just awesome. 38 of us went, on the one plane with the players and staff, to war torn Chechnia. (Sp?). Escorted in by Russian Migs either side of the plane, drinking bevvies surrounded by armed Russian guards watching missiles fly back and forth across the border, and a brilliant win; capped off by Fowler cutting up a sleeping Ruddocks shoes on the plane home, and Razor waking and going absolutely nuts mid flight, which resulted in a black eye for Robbie, the reason behind that never came out as the press could be trusted to keep things quiet back then. Dynamo Kiev in 2001 when Thommo lead us to become the first English side to win there as Houllier was recovering from his heart op. Freezing cold and the stand out was being outside a cafe bar and this begger literally grabbing a pigeon, snapping it's neck, and taking a chunk in his mouth to our gasps, with the waiter going 'he's only sticking up on meat for the winter!' And Zenit a few years back the Europa which was the worst of the lot. They are absolute animals. Beautiful City. But that fades when you're under constant barrage from big Russian gronk's.

And the few messages I've had from Kazan is that it's way friendlier than Moscow and St Petersburg and much less moody. Which just compounds not being there **** it!

Roll on Sion. Though hopefully our little morons don't do every frigging jewellers there like last time but that's another story.

Can't beat Euro aways.

Guys, guys.

"When was the last time we beat two Russian clubs away in a row?"

That was the best comment I saw post match hahaha, EOTK I think it was :P My Chelsea friend was thoroughly unimpressed haha
 
Just got through watching his Palace presser. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qWG2Wq_0mY).

Loving the fact he completely batted away all the tired, a-typical English European excuses over the Thursday night game/ mammoth travel/ early Friday return etc.

SO refreshing to just deal and get on with it without looking for an out before the next games even begun.
 
Massively important we keep the winning run going today. But not only that, it'd be nice to take it on again and add goals. Comprehensively beat a team we should at home by 2 or 3 goals. When was the last time we did that? It's coming. Let's take that step today to set us up for the break.

Be interesting to see the line-up too. You'd presume Phil will be back in. (And Lucas and Skrtel obviously.). But I'd personally keep Ibe in. The attacking dimension went up another notch Thursday in Kazan when we in effect played with two wingers for the first time under him. (Milner was all over but he certainly looked to be attacking from the left as a starting position.). That's evolved from the 4-3-2-1 over the first few to get the solid base, into 4-2-3-1 the last 3 with the most adventurous being Thursday. Let's keep that and really get at Palace. We owe these buggers!

Match them for effort, which we now are, and the superiority will tell.

Mighty Reds!

Presumably Milner's missing through the hammy in Kazan. Exactly the side I was hoping for sans Firmino for Lallana. But still a great option off the bench when Palace are tired. Teixeira the bench again too.

And as I type the massive boost of Citeh drawing at Villa. (Thank's in no large part down to the Raheem Sterling we all know SO well missing a free header, three yards out unmarked in the centre of the nets. Even worse than Berahino's howler that saved Utd yesterday.). 3 points this avvi, and we can relax through the break knowing we go to City next time out with a win moving us to within 3 points of them.

90 minutes hard work and your better ability will tell Redmen. Let's have these!

Its the second time Can pass like that inside the penalty area.
 
I was terrified for Sakho there for a second. Thought he'd done in his knee ligaments.
 
Lot better since the Palace goal. Started sloppy, paid the price but responded well without overly threatening. Ibe and Lallana the main two protagonists. Ibe showing the more and more his confidence returns just what a talent all Liverpudlians know he is. Hopefully Sakho hasn't done more damage by trying to play through it but love that self sacrifice that's being bred into the team. And what can you say about the little magician? Sloppy in his passes, and then he produces that.

Arsenal losing too. Keep it going Redmen. 90 minutes hard work and we'll have this.
 
The Liverpool job is unique. 25 years of waiting... If you give us one league title, we'll give you a place in history: Legendary status.
 
I'll settle for a 5-1 win :P

The way we ended the first half, it looked only a matter of time before we take the lead.
