Nah. Can’t be right that. He finished last season with his first goal and an assist Brighton and he’s 2 this year. So that’s 3 his last 6 games with the 2 already this year.

Sure theres more the run-in last season. I’ll have a look when I get home.
 
Really? That’s pretty mad adding the Country. Anyway, unless Scotland have played more than 3 games since the end of last May that would stil be at least one out his last 9.




But having just read this the triviality of football has again been put into stark perspective:

Good Lord that’s terrible news.Will the authorities NEVER learn?

Condolances to the poor soul no longer here. Thoughts and prayers with him/ her and the rest of the injured.

A goal and 5 assists his last 10 PL games Andy Robbo.

A goal and 3 assists his last 10 L’pool games with a Mane goal from another ruled out for offside the Roma semi.

Thought I wasn’t imagining the top statistical attacking form he was in the end of last year that’s carried over.

Christ knows how many chances he’s created that should have been certain goals missed? There’s at least 7 on that short highlight alone: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AwhiRNE868I

For someone that was in-effect a free transfer from a relegated side last summer, held out for most of the first half of last season whilst he got upto speed with our complex system. To one of the elite FB’s the league and now captain and well arguably best player in his Country. It’s been a phenomenal rise.
 
Excellent.

Michael Oliver, who’s by far the best of a very bad bunch IMHO (not sure whether that’s good or bad), has the ‘Spurs game Sat’day dinner.

Need a strong ref against those cheating _____.
 
Well ****.

Degsy liable to not be match ready until after the second International break in October.

If only we had one of the top young defenders the PL to partner big Virge .....

Oh. Wait.

We do! :)
 
Nice, love me a wicked cross... got Robertson & Trippier at Rangers in my FM save... :D

I think you’ll have to wait a few years mate.

He’s an athletic freak like Ronaldo who’s just getting fitter with age. And his consistency has improved with it.

Be very surprised if he’s not extended next summer for another year at least.

Never would have excepcted Bielsa also. Wonders can happen in crazy teams...
 
3rd excellent, and free, audio documentary epic in TAW’s ‘Moment’s In Time’ series that’s a MUST listen for any Red. This one on the 2001 FA Cup daylight robbery ..... uhmm, sorry, victory over Arsenal. (Some excellent perspective and insight that might well appeal to Arsenal fans too from both Lee Dixon and Amy Lawrence. Who both wrote Henry’s book and did the recent ‘89 film, on how it still haunts Thierry to this day and drove him on to even greater heights.).

So many boss memory’s from not only one of my favourite ever days the match, with one of the maddest celebrations ever in my favourite European ground. (Does Cardiff/ Wales count as ‘European?’ Meh, whatever it is it ****** all over the soulless mess that is Wembley.). But the single best week I’ve ever had as a football supporter as we not only wrapped up our second treble but returned to the CL to boot. It was literally travel, mad bevvy, match, mad celebration party, sleep. Travel, mad bevvy, match, mad celebration party, sleep. Travel, mad bevvy, match, mad celebration party, sleep. Sat’day to Sat’day. 3 different Countries. 3 finals. 2 for trophies. 1 for 3rd and the final CL spot. 2 trophies and 1 treble won. The memory’s and stories that came out of those 8 days will last a lifetime.

2001 gets madly overlooked in our storied history for me. Absolutely superb time to be a Red with the best group of players we’ve had the last 20 years before the current crop. Heck of a lot to thank Houllier for.

I’m banking. But a great listen on the Michael Owen Cup Final.’
 
To round out the International teadium, a really well written piece on how politics influences football supporters.

Which goes a long way to explaining why I, like many others here, feel totally disenfranchised from the rest of the Country and why I have absolutely zero interest in forgetting everything to come together as one behind the National team.
 
So happy the first International break is over and we can get back to ‘proper’ footy again.

And what a jaw droppingly exciting run of games to come back to the 7 games before the next International break:

A. Tottenham.
H. PSG- CL
H. Southampton.
H. Chelsea- LC.
A. Chelsea.
A. Napoli- CL.
H. City.

The Southampton outlier aside, I honesty can’t remember the last time we such a run of awesome fixtures against top sides back-to-back.

Thats what you live for as a fan and why you do it.
 
Unless my maths is wrong, we come out of this next group of 4 fixtures with 8 points, at worst we’ll be level with City.

2 wins and 2 draws minimum to be at worst level with the main challengers 8 games in.

How F boss would that be given our first 8 games compared to theirs?
 
That’s Gary Neville classily put back in his box.

Sack off the Champions League ..... Silly *******.
 
Ok. Start of rhis mouthwatering run of fixtures that makes you glad to be alive as a fan.

And with Cardiff at Chelsea, Leeds down at Millwall, and Utd at Watford this tea-time, I’m even more happy I hate the ____hole that is Wembley that much to have swerved this one. Potential for some serious ‘fun and games’ round Euston with that perfect storm.

So reasuring of the great depth now that we can flip the captain for a top player like Naby to start this run.

Surprising bonus that Winks starts for the first time in months for them. Fully expected Lamela to come in for Ali.

Just about the only positove of the horrible Sat’day dinner kick-off is the chance to keep the pressure right on top of City before they play. Which I fully expect given our overall record against Tottenham. We owe these after last seasons exception to that norm results.

Into this cheating shower of _____ Redmen!
 
What's up with Salah and Mane? Its like they don't want to see the other one succeed lately. Ignoring one another when the other one is clearly in a better position. Have noticed it a few times over the last few months, but way more evident this season.

If your talking about the chance were he slipped in Keita instead of Salah. Ill give him the benefit of the doubt that he wants to see his friend get his first lfc goal.
