From £26 up IIRC. All through Ticketmaster from 10 tomorrow. Just a pain with the last train being 8:10 PM and the 5 PM kick off. Cuts it fine after. £41.20 is the cheapest I can see as I type.
Kind of 'meh' on it. Weekend's out on two counts. Charity Shield puts all the prices up and us and Utd in London the same weekend is never a good thing. Plus can see it being a complete woolfest with the tickets available to anyone. Be nice to see Louis again like.
Personally hoping the Mainz game gets confirmed the Sunday. Defo swerve Wembley for a weekend there. Klopp taking L'pool home to both Dortmund and Mainz in the space of 5 months would be boss.
Probably do most the domestic ones. Defo Fleetwood for a new ground and probably Tranmere and Wigan. Cheap and handy enough like.

Going to give Barca a miss, bearing in mind it'll around £150 at least for me and the arl fella and I'm skint as ****. Might just drive him to Wigan.
Might be a silly question, but do priorities still stand in friendlies?

You'd of had to of waited until Friday anyways. Wasn't thinking last night but its ST holders today and tomorrow for Barca. Should get a Wigan ticket off the general mate. They're all up tomorrow to seasonies first (which is SO niice of the club so soon after the season), then the general sale. Forget the exact info but they've put it up.
Think I'll grab a cheap Barca ticket and wait and see if Mainz comes off which has all gone quiet again. Sigjs.

Yers of been well screwed mate even if yers wanted to go. What a monumental f-up that was. The passcode for seasonies was leaked this morning, so every man and his dog around the Country was on the ticketmaster site. And not obly that, you could get NINE frigging tickets per ST. Which weren't all season ticket holders. So consequently everything cheap went in no time. Juat had a call from a mate whos only juat gone on and theres only 65 quid up ones left. With no kids. For a frigging friendly. F knows the price come the general sale.. If theres any left. L'pool blaming ticketmaster but why let then distribute them the first place?
Just adds to the continuing clown show that is our ticketing operation.
This game be a whopperfest of epic proportions.

Ultimate League reveals Liverpool are England's top team, followed by Man Utd and Arsenal | Football News | Sky Sports
People always get fixated on the 26 year wait for #19, but that's phenomenal consistency over half a century.
Taking it further, as disappointing as finishing 8th was (although explained in large part by having to play the under 5's every other game the last 6 weeks of the year); since we came back up to English football's top flight in 1962, Liverpool have never finished below 8th. And have only finished outside the top 5 in 10 of those 54 seasons. (6th x 4/ 7th x 3/ 8th x 3.).
Ridiculous consistency aside from all the silverware.
Makes a mockery of all the 'yers just a mid-table club' jibes.

I would rather win the title one season and finish 10th the next rather than remain in the Top 8 consistently for the past 26 years.

Well, yeah, given you've less titles than such luminaries as Sunderland who've not won a major trophy since 1973, I guess you would.

Given you have the same number of PL titles as Accrington Stanley would have thought you would quite like a league title

Lol. Touche. *Takes foot out of mouth. But it is like 3 in the AM and I'm sleep deprived.
Either that or I'm getting a season ahead of myself haha.
Tbh I the advantage they have over 2nd and 3rd is quite impressive. Finishing on average 1.5 places higher than any other team, over 50 year span? Madness.

I'm actually really keen to watch Liverpool next season. Think Matip could be a great buy. I want to see a few games with this Grujic fella too.
Hopefully Klopp pulls in a couple more players. Can see them improving a lot over last years final finish

That's all well and good, it's very nice to see us at the top of a table (no matter how irrelevant it is) but maybe we should actually start to look to the future and focus less on the past. I don't think we need a random Sky Sports "Ultimate League" table to tell us we're one of the most successful teams in history.
If anything, this table highlights just how bad the last ten years have been. One top 4 finish in seven seasons. Couple that with very limited cup success and every season that we have been successful in the league has been at the expense of embarrassing cup performances.
Not trying to be negative, I just feel like promoting this and suggesting consistently finishing in the top 8 is somehow a magnificent achievement further feeds the trolls of clubs (i.e Manchester United) that have enjoyed a huge amount of their success in the past 25 years.

Unfortunately we are just a mid table club currently.
Everyone knows we were once great, but we've finished 6th-8th in 6 of the past 7 seasons. Up to the players and Jurgen to change that!

When you consider we finoshed just 6 points behind City and Utd, having played scratch sides every other game dowm to the Europa; I don't think its too much of a stretch to think we'd of finished 5th at worse and quite possibly in the Champions League places had it not been for Europe. Whilst still disapponting, that 8th place last year is very misleading.
Yeah, can't wait for this season. To get what he got out of the squad last year coming in late (without signing a single player lets not forget) was fantastic. Yes, there was the ultimate disappointment of losing 2 cup finals but considering this time last year we had the bitter taste of coming off a 6-1 final disgrace at Stoke with little to no hope/ expectation of anything, it was quite the tournaround. And the more they got to work together, the better it looked. A long ways to go, but SO many positives out of year 0. (Calling it that as he basically had a freebie year to assess everything.).
I think (going off memory. I'll double check when I'm home) we ended up playing 63 games last year. The most of any team the 5 major European Leagues. With 52/53 of them under Klopp. Something around an average of a game every 3/4 days for him. There was a month and mores spell Decemberish when we were basically just olaying amd resting with no seroous training at all. It was very noticeable the last 6 werks of the year when he was alternating between an A and B team just how much better they looked with a week between games and more days together training under him. So this year, as gutted as I am to have no Europe, the extra time to train and prepare for most evey league game should see a marked improvement in consistency. Along with having a pre-season under him which is masive in itself.
Still this window to play out like, but all the above considered, along with him having a years start on the likes of Pep and Conte who are both conpletey unproven in England, I'm expecting a serious league challenge at the least. Amd I'm quietly optimistic for the first time im a LONG time we'll end our title drought.
Certainly the brightest the futures been in eons at Anfield.

Chatting to your average Liverpool fan is like chatting to an old Grandad in the local pub
"When I was a young lad... Oh the lasses were all round me, all round me I tell ye.... I had a motorised cycle you know!!".
Good luck next season though.
