Apparently an integral figure & dressing room leader though. It’s why people like Ashley Young are kept around, only problem is we make the mistake of playing him week in week fu***g out

Somewhere out there in the ether zz is clapping madly at that haha.
 
Can we not talk about Thursday nights, please? Already depressed thinking about this Thursday-Sunday **** again
 
With all the English knobheads disgracing themselves and everyone else yet again doing what they do in that gorgeously brilliant City on the banks of the Douro, now seems as good a time as ever to finally catch-up and thank all the Tottenham fans for adding to a superb few days last weekend.

After fearing Madrid being moody and ugly (we have a long standing history with Tottenham and even now, the games, particularly down London, are rarely pleasant), it thankfully proved to be the complete opposite. Admittedly we didn't run into a great many Tottenham fans out there being as we outnumbered them 10-1 and more, but every one we did, from the lads opposite us the train we had a good, shared drink/ journey with going up from Barcelona Friday afternoon, were utterly superb and a credit to themselves and their club. There wasn't a hint of trouble anywhere as far as I'm aware. Just everyone getting on superbly and respectfully with each other under the scorching Madrid sun. I had to chuckle at the 'Spurs lads the wine bar we were in Saturday before going over the ground, one of whom, when shaking my hand and wishing each other luck, asking if they were having a boss time etc, said 'You can't beat this can you? And you bastards get to do it every ****** year!' Not quite mate. But yers not far off haha.

After the game and on the Sunday and Monday in Malaga, where we went onto after Madrid, it was the same. Tottenham fans exceptionally magnanimous in defeat. L'pool supporters consoling them and reminding them just what they have to be immensly proud about after a superb season from their lads. Just one big party with no hint of nastiness or trouble. Which when you consider there was a conservative estimate of 60-80 thousand Liverpudlians in the Spanish capital over the weekend, and a sizeable amount from Tottenham, all drinking under ridiculous heat which is never a good cocktail, was a credit to most everyone involved

English football showed off in it's best possible light to both the citizens of Madrid and the watching World. And then you get the disgrace in Porto which you wouldn't be surprised if it escalates over the coming hours from some of the Brexit Neanderthals who follow the English National side around.

[FONT=&quot]Glad I'm lucky enough to have been born in Liverpool, to a Red, and have the privilege of following the current best side in Europe and get all my kicks through [/FONT]my club with awesome experiences like last weekend rather than having to be tarred with the low life ****** who follow the National side.

Kudos as well to the many Tottenham fans, who, again, much to our pleasant surprise, have taken the time to tweet/ post on Liverpudlians to dispel the social media narrative about us and congratulate us on #6-

Full disclosure- Two minutes or so into injury time Saturday night in the wonderful Estadio Metrapolitano (which is a proper modern stadium BTW geared totally to spectator comfort), I was totally gone. Sat down in my seat and just broke down in tears. You put SO much into it, and the emotions ..... ecstatic joy ..... pride ..... shear ****** relief ..... the whole gambit just overcame me and I was gone. 6 times. 6 magnificent, glorious times, And when the whistle went, and I finally stood back up, wiping the tears, I found I was far from alone as grown fella's wept around me.

Since we got home Monday, I've watched I think just about every video and gif going. Read so many tweets and articles. Listened to so many different things. You just can't get enough of this unreal high of being the best side in all of Europe. There's NO feeling like it as a football fan.

And then I just watched this one. And I'm back to the tears flowing freely again in unadulterated pride at my football club's magnificent achievement and my City's magnificent response to them-

I was messing around with Rh the Utd thread earlier over a line of his on Utd being the biggest club in the World. Now I aren't going to get into a silly debate over who's bigger. But man alive I can say for certain this football club is as big as anything on the planet and the love and support of this City for this team is unmatched anywhere.

I hated missing the parade Sunday. I'd rather be where I was at the game naturally but it's a sad by-product of not coming straight home that you invariably miss it. An estimated 750,000 on the streets. THREE QUARTERS OF A ****** MILLION PEOPLE! With many Reds still in Spain not yet home after the final after taking upwards of 70/80 thousand out there. absolutely mind blowing. We were watching the parade Sunday afternoon on our moby's in various bars/ restaurants in Malaga and all we kept getting from our hosts was 'WOW! That's happening live? Right now in Liverpool? ALL these people? WOW!!!!!' The Spaniards just couldn't get there head around it all.

I can think of maybe 3 clubs that have anything like that pull and support the World over. And when you see a video like that, with the players equally as stunned, yet fully embracing every bit of it, man alive it just ..... our lads get it. And we love them even more for the way they fully embrace our fan culture and connect like no other group of L'pool players has in my lifetime. Lead by a crazy mad German ******* who's as Scouse as they come, without being born here, who is literally one of us living the dream when you boil him down.

I defy any Red, whether you're Scouse, or from elsewhere in England or the World, to not watch that, and not well up with immense pride at just what we have here and the shared journey we've been on with these boys. The shared emotions through it all that brought 750,000 or so folk out onto the streets of our City to welcome them home and thank them for being a massively important part of our lives.

An image for the ages like something out of South America or some other mad hotbed of football. Except it's our City. With our boys. Sharing the biggest prize of all. Together.

Disapointed we've finally caved to enter the lower league trophy.

I neither agree with it personally nor do I see much of any benefit with the majority of the games being played the International breaks when all the best kids are invariably away with their National sides.

But it is what it is so that's 8 trophies to go for next season I suppose.
 
Talks about Nicholas Pepe is speeding up, seems to have come out of nowhere like Fabinho last year. Never seen him play but his stats look pretty impressive.

Edwards could sign Pepé Le Pew and I'd be buzzing given his track record.

You’ve been linked with him since end of March. Time for the rumour mill madness to kick into summer high gear.

Hey now he did look like a headless chicken in his first season playing cm. Testement to Milner and the coaches proving you can still learn a new role even at his age.

Happily hold my hands up on that one.

I was seriously questioning that pick-up at the time. Even on a freebie.

You honestly don't realise what a phenomenal professional, on and off the pitch, James Milner is until he's at your club. I reckon we could mess around with him and tell him Alisson was sick and he'd have to go in nets and he'd happily pick up a pair of gloves and go out and have a real solid game.

And his twitter game is off the charts hilarious haha.
