Friday's are turning into boss days for L'pool news. Last week we tie down Joe Gomez for the next 5 years. This week we learn the anti-fan **** Ayre is going early at the February. Don't let the door hit yers on the way out ********.
Talking of absolute knobheads that couldn't give a flying F about fans, I was astounded to find out this week that the cretins running Hull have done away with all kids and OAP concessions. It costs you the same at a Hull home game if you're a young child as it does for an adult. Amazing that's not got Nationwide attention. Absolutely scandalous. But sadly nottin' new at Hull. The last time L'pool played there, in April 2015, we had a very successful boycott down to the scandalous differential in ticket prices. Everton, among others, had been charged just over £20 earlier that season. We were being asked to stump up more than double that at £50. To which many said 'F that ****! Enough is ENOUGH!' and completely jibbed it. I still have the unused £10 child ticket I purchased to keep my credits up for that game. A game I watched back in L'pool along with many others. Which then lead to the monumental walk out Sunderland and the £30 away ticket I now have for tomorrow's game at Hull. Change can happen if you stick together and stand up to clubs. You're all welcome.
As regards tomorrows game, this could be quite the battle watching Hull under Silva. Seen them 4 times now since the change. 3 against Utd and once against Chelsea and only in one of those games did they not deserve anything IMHO. The first leg the semi against Utd. And at that they were exceptionally unlucky not to take the tie to extra time. His tactical nounce has been well evident in all four games. Particularly impressing in his in-game changes. They just lack the extra quality in key areas. Would of been interesting to see Ladzar tomorrow but alas the rules don't allow that. Great that we'll have the front 3 key players of Sadio, Firmino and Phil together with Lallana in behind where he's been so effective this year for the first time in what seems forever. Just need to take the intensity from Tuesday forward and get back to the form prior to the last couple of months dip with all the injuries.
The Chelsea game, although far from our best, was a massive step in the right direction and has restored a heck of a lot of faith among the fans. We know there's not many if any can live with our first XI. There's a drop off behind that but that top group is all healthy and back together for the run-in.
Hopefully we're walking into the ground with Chelsea having dropped again but enough of looking at them. Go out and put together a big winning run again and see where it takes us. Still ALL to play for this year. But it has to start with a first league win in 2017 and I think it will 3-1.
Up the Tiger Trouncing Reds!
