Sad way to end whats been an absolutely brilliant Liverpool 2018, one of the mmost enjoyable Calendar years I can remember, with the passing of Peter Thompson.

I have an Uncle that always claimed he was better than Cally, Stevie Heighway and Ray Kennedy. As an old school, out and out winger like. And Shankly always held him in the highest of high regard: https://mobile.twitter.com/JamesPearceEcho/status/1079717147390156800

He must have been some player.

Shanks has got his LW back for todays games.

God rest a genuine legend.
 
Bar today’s incredibly sad news of the passing of a genuine, all-time club LEGEND, Peter Thompson, to close the year out; 2018 has been one of the most enjoyable and exhilarating I can remember in nearly 4 decades going the match.


The run to Kiev, and all the absolutely ridiculous fun and memories along the way, culminating in the best and most enjoyable fan experience of all the 5 European Cup Finals I’ve been privileged to watch this stupendous football club live in ..... Money just can’t buy that. That collective experience from everyone that was there that day in Shevchenko Park for one massive Scouse party like only wa can ..... Awesome memories that will live with everyone there forever.


Through to the end of the year and the absolutely ridiculous progress we now have in action before our very eyes into not only the best ever Liverpool team through a season’s first 20 games, which is mind blowing enough given our storried history. But one of the three best sides statistically in English football HISTORY to this point in the season. Absolutely ridiculous what these lads are doing for us right now.


That’s what other football fans just don’t get and whats a big part of what makes our fan culture so unique. We don’t have to be sat there at the end of the year with silverware to be happy or have had a brilliamt season. Lose the biggest game in football in Kiev? ‘F it! They’ve done us SO proud even getting here. Back on it and let’s party like only we can!’ ..... Ultimately finish second to a City team that historically tore it up last year? ‘F it! We’ll get them next year. These Reds have made another GIANT leap forward into one of the most feared sides acriss all if Europe so let’s get back on it and rock the summer!’


Maybe it’s a uniquely Scouse thing but we’re gonna’ have a good time and party egardless of any disappointment on the pitch. It’s just how we roll.


It’s as much about the journey getting there, and all the boss memories and moments (which is what being a football fan is ALL about when you boil it down), shared with yer mates having the time of yer lives as any final outcome in May.


Footballs about fun and enjoyment. That release from the monotony of every day life to lose yourself in the pride of your team for that hour and a half or so. And this gang of special, special Reds, under this manager, have given us that by the bucket load this past year through which I can’t thank them enough for making you not be able to wait for the next match again.


2018 has unquestionably been one of the funnest, most enjoyable 12 months I’ve EVER had following our shared passion.


With 2019 fixing to top it all and be off the charts boss.


What a time to be alive.


What a time to be a Liverpudlian.


Happy New Year one and all.


Is it Thursday night yet?

 
Last time I looked the Premier League table at the end of the 2017-18 season read: Man City, Man United, Tottenham then Liverpool. I think you've been on the pop already Scouse or do they teach a different kind of maths up you way. ;) because to my eyes 4th is not 2nd by any stretch of the imagination.

In your zest to be a wise *** are we to presume reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit mate?
 
The output Mo’s put out he’s right up there with anyone bud. Thats just not open to debate.

And in his current form, his all round game is far better than last season. We’ve not had any forward playing to his current level the PL era. And man have we had some of the best.
 
Kane put up 46 goals and assist in 36 games, just last year.

I think Kane's recognized as the best striker in Europe these days to be fair. Still can't believe nobody has tried to unsettle him with a concrete offer the last 2 years.

Happy New Year mate to everyone over the water. (Well, bar those that don’t have a clue to behave over tickets like. ;) ).

I would sincerely wish you well for Wednesday but Rafa badly needs the points.

That’s two of you lads in Manchester struggling reading wise this avvy.

Mo’s current level of play his all round game is better than anything we’ve (L’pool) had forward wise the PL era.

I thought your lot were wiping the floor with the premier league currently or is it a case of being scared of staying at the top with an all conquering team, you can't have it both ways, either they will win it and to **** with the arab owned blue team or you are admitting they will blow it. As to my comprehension I claim a lack of sobriety and the need for you to write in a much clearer style.

Maybe you're right and I'm being naive but I personally feared individually Torres in his prime and Suarez more. Salah is great obviously but just something about those two especially Suarez, he could carry a team (nearly to a title).

Oh mate I don't know about that. Suarez, as much I dislike the cheating, controversial prck, is probably the best #9 of this generation. Better than Benzema & Lewandowski for me. I see what you mean Salah is a more rounded player, but chewy Luis incredibly co-carried (we'll say "co" to respect Sturridge & Sterling's back-up efforts) to a, with all due respect, pretty average-ish Liverpool side to a near-title win. Imagine peak Suarez in this current Liverpool side?

Liverpool version of Torres also frightened me more than any #9 in PL history due to how electrically quick he was and always turned up against us. Just a pity he never hit the heights he was supposed to.
 
Seems no better way to end a fantastic year for Liverpool Football Club than with the man that’s the main catalyst for this wondrous path right back up the mountain we’re now on.

The man that’s reconnected players and supporters like I’ve never known, since back to the great man who started our ridiculous modern day cycle off I wish I had, when he walked through the doors back in ‘59.

The man that gets this great City and its uniquely different people like he was from here.

The man who’s run with the above and given this special football club it’s identity back that had gotten lost somewhere along the way.

The man who’s turned doubts and dreams into unwavering belief. And made it ****** fun to be a part of that with him.

Jurgen Norbert Klopp. Proper Scouser!

‘Whats the best decision you’ve ever made as a football manager?’
’Signing for Liverpool.’ BOOM!!!!!
