Current Unbeaten Run All Comps-
16 games: W 12 D 4 F 33 A 12 CS: 9.

FA Challenge Cup #8 ✅
Which moves us joint third on the all time FA Cup list alongside Chelsea and Tottenham.

First ever English team to win both domestic cups in the same season twice ✅

The 8th time LFC have done had a double winning season. (Which could well be a treble/ quadruple winning season in less than two weeks time.). ✅
That's twice more than the next team on the list Chelsea.

Liverpool have now hit the magical 50, that's FIFTY!, mark in the number of major domestic/ European/ International trophies won. ✅
The next on the list is Manchester United with 45.
Nobody else in England is even worth mentioning.

What a day!

Honestly, I could not be ANY happier or on any higher a high as I am typing this if we add the PL and CL to an already historical, off the charts season. I wrote the other day on just how important the FA Cup is to myself, and no doubt many of a similar age who grew up with it being the all encompassing, biggest trophy you could win. And not least with all it means to our ridiculous football club and the great City of Liverpool she represents.

FA Cup winers. AGAIN! It's been TOO long since we could last say that. You just can't top that feeling. I spent a lot of time looking up into the sky yesterday ..... That was for them. Our fallen comrades in this competition sadly no longer here able to witness yesterday's joyous scenes with us. 🙏🏻❤

Related to that, the one BAD part of yesterday-

If you were one of the absolute dickheads who booed and created through 'Abide With Me', give your dense lil' heads a MASSIVE wobble today! ..... We are now anti-religion too?!!!!! ..... For that, as some young utter gobshite was arguing with us before the game as he 'didn't care', has got NOTHING to do with the Establishment that so looks down on us. It's a HYMN! A traditional, FA Cup final hymn. And an absolutely perfect one at that. Go learn your own clubs history. Look back to 1989 for a start as we began to rebuild ourselves after the devastating events of the semi in Sheffield and go watch Gerry Marsden on the Wembley pitch leading us through that. FAR too many, mainly young, absolute bellends, try FAR too hard to push the 'Scouse not English' thing. Which I'm all for by the way. But without having any real concept of when to stand up to the Establishment and when not. YNWA through the National anthem? Sound. I'm with that all day and was bellowing that out yesterday. Booing Prince William? Sound. He represents the head of an Establishment that we've been fighting for justice against for the past 33-years and counting for what happened in this competition. But a ****** HYMN we've ALWAYS sung and respected ..... Absolutely disgraceful and embarrassing behaviour. I can but apologise to any decent minded Reds reading. And any opposition fans who heard that and think it was planned. It wasn't. And it didn't go down well with many of us. At all! Sorry for the rant there but that seriously P me off as much it staggered me that we stooped to that.

Now that's off my chest, that was the only bad yesterday bar one P up gobshite on Wembley way singing 'Murderers/ 97 wasn't enough!' Which was a massive improvement from the LC Final when that and similar was being thrown out from the all over the place.

Just the picture perfect Cup Final occasion played out under scorching Cup Final weather as it always should be. I thought we more than deserved that in normal time. Just weren't quite clinical enough with our chances. Extra-time was a bit of a write off like. But the stellar mental fortitude of these lads came through yet again from 12-yards out. Chelsea, and the massively flawed and tactically limited Tuchel, got exactly what they deserved as he set out for penalties. F ALL! All played out in a belter atmosphere. Heck knows why they even bother with dogs at games we attend to sniff out pyro going in. Our end must have looked like it was on fire at the end as the now traditional rave to Dua Lipa ensued in earnest.

And a shout out to Jürgen for simply being him ..... WHAT other manager would bring his assistant over at the end to do the fist bumps together? That was a mark of the humble nature of the greatest coach currently working in World football IMHO. Brilliant gesture.

You just can't speak highly enough of this absolutely ridiculous gang of historical Reds who STILL stand on the verge of historical football perfection. With THREE games to go in a season where we will end up playing every single game of football that we can. (Side note- The only other time that has happened I believe in English football history was back in 2001 .... By your Liverpool Football Club, Second treble winning season vintage!). And that's the WHOLE squad BTW. From the likes of your Bradleys, Gordons, Mortons, Woltmans et al who played in the earlier rounds right on through to yesterdays heroic heroes. Every last one of you has been beyond superb this season and have ALL played your part in the elation and pride we feel today.

Southampton Tuesday night is going to be wild in our end as we celebrate the Cup all over again.

And if West Ham can beat City later today to proper send the league to the final day ...... 🤞🏻🤞🏻

FA Cup winners again. Savour it. This is SUPER special!

Up the Reds! FTT!!!!!

Nah. City are just levels above them.

Absolutely zero problem with West Ham today. They did more than enough,

Anyway I'd love if Lewy instead of going to failing Barca could reunite with Kloppo, but it would probably blow up your wage structure. :confused:

Unless someone big leaves, which isn't happening, L'pool won't be signing any forwards mate.

Unless there's a surprise signing, what they've done already with Carvalho from Fulham, and the Aberdeen FB and Monaco midfielder would be a perfect enough window.
 
The Daily Third Reich making this front page news yesterday was hilarious enough, but again today ..... STILL! TWO days after. 🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful.

Opinion: Think Liverpool fans were wrong to boo Prince William? Read this first

There’s an eye-watering irony embedded in the fact that Tory MPs and their supporters – who regularly decry ‘woke cancel culture’ – are infuriated by spontaneous booing. What happened to freedom of speech, guys?

Praise the Lord that was the last midweek away. Just over 3 hours sleep is NOT good!

What another fabulous night following this historical Red machine.

Getting absolutely drenched just before going in, made worse by one of the most officious and thorough searches in a long time (Did all the pyro at Wembley worry them? 😛) didn't dampen any spirits.

Going a ludicrous goal behind early that should never have stood (you didn't need VAR to tell you what your own eyes had witnessed), didn't dampen any spirits.

Having a bunch of Southern Tory **** over the divide try to call you out over the National Anthem, and then preceded to hammer home the reason why by going on to sing about 'Paying our benefits' et al in proper Tory behaviour, most certainly didn't dampen any spirits and the party mood. That was just base hilarity and absolutely superb music to your ears. (The NA fume.). I sincerely hope that becomes a thing and we get that from every other fanbase next year to show them all up for the ignorant, uneducated, morally bankrupt oafs they are.

And coming away with yet another superb 3 points, which still leaves the title firmly in City's hands, didn't dampen anyones spirits.

I mean how could ANYTHING when your 2021/ 2022 Liverpool Football Club side are THIS historically awesome? You just need to look at the top of this post and the season long title countdown I've been doing game-by-game. The average over the last 5 seasons to win the league was 30 wins/ 95 points. That's the ridiculous level ourselves and City have raised the bar to. On Sunday, if we beat Wolves, we'll have come within 2 wins of the former. And 3 points of the later. Putting up the 7th highest points total in the 125 season's of the English top flight. And 3rd highest in our esteemed history. And they'll have ONLY dropped points in 3 games through the second half of the season. To the other three teams currently making up the top 4. Incredible consistency.


Even if we fall short by a point Sunday to the only other football club on the planet anywhere near our ridiculous level, it will be a day of massive celebration regardless. Because natural disappointment aside, how can anyone honestly be upset with them for such stupendous levels of consistency? And that's before you factor in playing every single game they possibly could this season and reaching the final of every competition they entered. Which will end up anywhere from yet another double winning season to a historically perfect quadruple one.

Super performance last night from a nearly completely changed side. Southampton were completely suffocated and couldn't get out of their half for long spells. The mental fortitude and ridiculous fitness levels are a big reason as to why we are where we are. Just LEVELS above every other side below us.

Special shout out to 3 youngsters-

Konaté wasn't just utterly brilliant and dominant in his all round game yet again. He's turning into a proper leader at the tender age of 22 in his first year here. He was the senior voice back there organising and leading. Wild to think Matip has been our most consistent and best CH over the course of the season. And Ibou's performances since Christmas have elevated him to a higher level than even Joël.

Curtis Jones. Ran our man mountain of a CH close for man of the match. Utterly dominant, controlling display in the middle where he never stopped working for the team. He set the tempo, barely giving the ball away and being as dominant in winning it back as anyone the few times Southampton did have possession. And he kept it up all game. How people fail to see this lads qualities and what he brings is utterly beyond me. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Like Trent, he'll be a lifer at this football club. And even if that will be as just a reliable squad player, that will be more than sound enough. The pride in your own, a young, 21-year-old Scouser, with not even 50 PL games under his belt yet who is still developing in the best side in the World, which many madly forget, whilst still being WELL ahead of his development curve at this stage, playing his own major part in a historical season just can't be topped.

And take a bow Harvey Elliott. Yeah, he drifted at times and had some ropey moments getting back up to the pace of the game. But in context to how long he's been out, that was another brilliant display from another outstanding young player. With his superb technique around the box and ability to find pockets of space in tight areas, it allowed the constant pressure we piled on in retaining the ball high. Rather than looking for that over the top. And Southampton just couldn't cope. Take a bow and well earned rest today mate. You earned it.

And I'm going to give myself and everyone else down the South coast a pat on the back if you'll allow. These last few months have been financially crippling I won't lie. The season ticket money for next season has had to be found. On top of the the relentless charge across Europe and at home in the pursuit of historical excellence. Culminating in a European Cup final weekend that's already proved way trickier and way more expensive than ever it should have been. But, yet again, after having to take another half days holiday, and the expense of getting down there, the team received relentless, superb vocal backing last night at the other end of the Country that didn't see our car anyway how until pushing 3 in the AM. Superb guys and girls ..... It's what we do and we wouldn't have the success we are having without us.

So now we go to the last day decider. What will be will be but I couldn't be happier or prouder that we've taken a team backed by a whole State to the absolute wire. For all the opposition hoping City win (How's that going again Pep? All the L'pool support and that? 🤦🏼‍♂️), they forget that without Klopp's mighty Redmen, there'd be NO opposition to them and the league would have been won back in February. And lest we forget, we came from 14 points behind to reach this stage.

Yeah, immense PRIDE is the word whatever happens Sunday. It's been one heck of an exhilarating ride yet agin this season and an absolute privilege to share it with them.

And the best part may yet be to come ..... 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Up the tired but utterly buzzing travelling Reds! FTT!!!!!
