And we're playing World Cup qualifier against Russia in a month. That's a high risk game even on a normal day because of all the bad blood, but now I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the stadium lol.
 
Alright, just thread carefully with the politics. We're not forum for that kind of stuff and we dont need needless and pointless arguments (just a heads up!).
 
So on the same night Mo surpassed Drogba for total goal contributions from an African in the PL era, Sadio surpassed Didier to move into second place behind Mo in the total number of goals scored by an African in the PL. Through 2 less games.

Mané- 106 Goals/ 252 Games.
Drogba- 104 Goals/ 254 Games.

And lest we forget, only one of those three is an actual CF who is widely regarded as one of the PL's all time greats.

African KINGS!

Get in! Paris confirmed. Much easier than Saint Petersburg.

Kudos to Uefa for boxing it early so rooms can be reserved just in case.
 
Because listening to Mini-Klopp always makes anyone's day better. 😍


Never a popular opinion, but I'm loving Gerrard falling flat on his **** at Villa if, for nottin' else, to stop the calls for him to follow Jürgen

One more sleep!

Europe aside, the LC has always been my favourite competition.

I used to love when we entered in the second round to a two legged tie and you’d invariably get to go to a new ground you’d never been to before. And my very first game was in this competition way back in 1980 at home to 4th division Bradford City. So it’s always held a special place in my heart.

It’s always irked me that many of today’s L’pool ‘fans’ have little to no respect for the LC. When a large part of their clubs success and heritage was built in the competition. I mean I get it from the clubs point of view. The financial rewards aren’t there sadly in the LC today so they naturally prioritise. But for actual ‘fans’ to want to swerve the competition and treat it with the same disrespect is just mad to me.

You can only win three competitions in this Country at the start of every season and the LC is still one of those three majors. Regardless of how folk try to denigrate it. It gets you a day out at a Wembley final before the spring with a chance of a trophy and an early European place boxed. Who wouldn’t want that? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Football support is ALL about moments and memories when you boil it down. And the memory’s of the Reds picking up trophies every season, regardless of the competition, just can’t be topped.

I honestly can’t wait for tomorrow to hopefully see this magnificent team do just that. The excitement and buzz really started after Leeds and now Sunday avvy can’t come quick enough!

*Sings ’When the Reds, go up, to lift the League Cup, We’ll be there, We’ll be there!
 
On the ordinary. Let’s get this weekend started!

’We’re on the march with Jurgens army …..!’
 
Elliot coming in like an annoying little yappy dog with the shove :ROFLMAO:
He does that on the street and he'd be knocked the f**k out in seconds :rolleyes:

PROPER captain. Something Gerrard never (and even Henderson in instances like that) was.

Goes in to get Harvey out of it. Tells Rudiger (the big hard ******* picking on a kid) to clearly F off! THAT'S a leader.

*Sings 'One Kiss is all it takes, Fallin in Love with Me, Possibilities ..... ' Just as you think the mad, pre-final rave in the ground in Kyiv 4 years back wouldn't be emulated, Wembley did their research and realised NO Reds Final is now complete without a Dua Lipa mini-rave in the stands! 🕺🕺🕺🥰

Today's/ Yesterday's Admin-

Current Unbeaten Run All Comps-
13 Games: W 10 D 3 F 31 A 6 CS: 8.

A record NINTH Football League Cup won. From a record THIRTEENTH final.

And with that, we now move 4 clear in total major trophies won by an English club from, with absolutely no disrespect intended to any other club, and as much as many Reds won't like reading this on them, the only other PROPER Super Club in this Country that really matter, Manchester United.

Total Major Trophies Won in English Football History-

Liverpool -49.
Manchester United-45.

Although to be fair to United, if you include Charity/ Community Shields (And I'll NEVER understand why many folks don't as you invariably have to win one of the majors (PL or FA Cup), to even have the chance to contest the season curtain-raiser), then they would lead the all-time list 66- 64. NO other English club comes close to the two North-West behemoths.

Try telling us again the League Cup doesn't matter after ending a LONG 10-year wait for another one.

Try telling us again the League Cup doesn't matter when you look at the absolute, childlike exuberance of multi-millionaires who have it all. Celebrating like they'd won the PL, CL and WC combined! Another absolutely superb day out with our absolutely superb football team doing what we do best. Proving people wrong and making memories that last a lifetime.

As much as that absolute buffoon Attwell tried to ruin the game with his base incompetence, and as much as Tommy Tucker had his side tried every last spoiling trick in the book to slow and disrupt the game, the mighty Reds came out on top to complete the first quarter of the quadruple that's now an absolute Red juggernaut charging down the silverware highway toward.

But what made it as much as anything for me yesterday was seeing the complete range in emotions of a great mate's young 10-year-old son at his first-ever final. Who went from tears at Matip's goal being madly ruled out, through the full gambit of emotions the peno shoot-out. To absolute, unbridled ecstasy after that arrogant ____ Kepa did a Geoff Thomas on the crucial last penalty. And in so doing helped myself through 22 LONG penalty's. As has been documented on here many times previously, I don't watch penalties. I always turn my back and gauge the reaction from whoever is directly behind me. A superstition that started when I was little older than that young man's tender age, at my first European Cup Final in Rome in '84 when I was too terrified to watch. And that was brought crashing back yesterday when I picked him up to stand him on his seat (he was, bless him, literally shaking in anticipated fear at the prospect of losing. With his dad in bits for him in his seat), and we came to a quick agreement that we needed to believe and cross everything together as the final still wasn't lost. So, picking him up to stand on his seat, the wobbling lip was replaced with a collective holding of crossed hands, with him talking me through the penalties, as I encouraged him with each player stepping up that they'd score and the Redmen had this. Celebrating and commiserating with each kick. To him then calling that Quive would score and win it as he was 'a striker before he became a goalie yanno', and the best collective hug I've EVER had at a game when the shaking fear of defeat in his first final was replaced by the biggest smile of joy only kids can bring at the win.

Soz to bore folk with that, but that's totally what this game is all about and what makes it so endearing from one generation to the next. And it totally topped off a perfect day out with Jürgens Red Army watching the greatest team in the World make yet more priceless memories. Reminding me just what I was like as a kid and just HOW the Reds, and them winning, was ALL that mattered in my young life at the time.

Can't beat your first mate. And as you've been fortunate to be born a Red, it most certainly won't be your last.

Man, we're F ace at this football lark, aren't we?

One down. Three to go!

This quadruple charge might well be the death of me!

Up the MIGHTY Reds!
 
VAR must suck the joy out of watching the game live though. Imagine going mad and limb everywhere and the goal gets canceled out in a final.

Editor’s Column: Chelsea fans.. Why so much hate?

There are arseholes of every kind in every fanbase, Liverpool included. Judging people on the team they support is a really clear example of basic stupidity. So, in many ways, I understand this pie…

Surprisingly, we nearly got to the end of Wembley before the game way before the first ...... 'Mur-der-ers, Mur-der-ers/ Always the victims' .....

..... Walking back down there after, stepping over discarded plastic flags, made it all the sweeter!
 
Liverpool play Brighton at the AMEX this month. I would ask for some tickets, but last time Liverpool were scheduled to play Brighton at the AMEX in March (or April, can't remember now, but close enough) Covid happened. Im scared if I ask again, WW3 is going to break out lol
