After perpetuating UEFA’s lies and sending them all round the World back in May (Made worse by the fact you were at the F game broadcasting live and could see what was happening. ‘Late arrival of fans’ …..2 and a half hours before KO I was queuing outside that shithole. I barely made it n for the delayed KO! 🤬), you wait NINE F months to apologise! And at that, ONLY after UEFA’s own investigation has found them bang to rights and the supporters of both clubs completely innocent.

Stick that lame, faux apology were the sun doesn’t shine. ****!

*Note* This is aimed at the on-line/ SM ‘fan’ who may happen to be reading, with their mad want for Klopp to be sacked and anti-Fenway/ manager/ player protests at the game; rather than any regular here …..

Let me preface this by saying I really aren’t concerned with anyone who thinks there was nothing positive to take from yesterday/ we should be letting your on-line feelings be known at the match regarding manager and players et al, in response to this. Unless you were down at Selhurst last night, on what was an absolutely baltic cold evening, not getting home until the early hours, then your opinion on our support, a word most appear foreign to, calling us ‘Top Reds’or whatever the latest pre-school slight is, really is inconsequential to anything.

Now, lets make NO mistake, that was a horrid game of football to watch. Slow paced and dour. ‘Disjointed’ best suns us up. Outside of Palace hitting the woodwork, and Jota and Mo doing the same for ourselves, along with a really poor Gakpo miss one-on-one late on, the excitement level was non-existent.

But yer know what? As tough a watch as it was to stand through in the freezing cold, I don’t mind going through a game like that at all. It’s all part of the recovery process from where we currently are for the top 4 battle ahead. Which is why the manager isn’t chatting wham when he finds positives in context of a poor game. That’s now 3 CS in a row in the league for the first time this season. Which is an important building block for confidence as to any recovery/ success right there. Beat Wolves Wednesday, and thats a 4 game run of 10 points out of 12 going into Utd. Which by any reckoning, is a MASSIVE turnaround from the previous 4 league games of 1 point from 12 with 3 of those games ending in 1-3, 0-3 and 0-3 defeats.

A draw, in CONTEXT, at a notoriously hard ground to get a result at irrespective of our boss recent record there, isn’t a bad result to take forward. As poor as Palace’s recent form has been, they are still a proper hard battle at home to take anything away from.

That’s just where we are right now as we slowly turn this to hopefully secure the top 4 end goal. Laying the foundations. So I’ll make absolutely NO apologies for those of us that pay our money and go through all we do to support this team for standing by them through these hard times. I don’t know what it sounded like on the telly, but the vocal was superb again yesterday right up to the end. Which is more impressive that we out-sung a great Palace support as poor as we were to watch.

We’re still FULLY behind these lads in the battle for top 4 we are WELL in. And, as the amount of times we sung his name again is testimony to, we wouldn’t want ANYBODY but Jurgen leading us through that fight.

‘ ….. I’m in love with him and I feel fine!’

We go again Wednesday.

Up the slowly recovering Reds. FTT!!!!!

😍😍

Who said you can’t have long term stability and defining manager era’s in this day and age?

Longest he’s ever been at one club. And fully committed to his next great team, through this contract and, 🤞🏻🤞🏻, beyond.

For all the legit criticism of the owners, this is one thing we have got right since they changed there whole MO when they went all in on Jurgen. Long term stability right rheough the football club.

Tonight racks up 5 Monday night games, 7 midweek games, and 2 Saturday night games on the season.

14 night games. Which is absolutely ridiculous and completely unfair on the paying supporter.

But when did we count? :mad:
 
I would much rather have been down at Stoke in the Cup last night as our efforts at Brighton the last round deserved. But football can be a cruel game, so here we are making up ground in our top 4 charge.

Hopefully, another 3 points tonight to continue our fine upturn in form of late. Setting things up perfectly for the visit from our overachieving 'friends' from down the road Sunday.
 
Well that was a night of extremes ….. After a very nondescript FH, when the only excitement of the night was looking like both the Ev getting walloped at Arsenal, and taking another huge step to hopefully disappearing into lower league obscurity for ever! 🤞🏻🤞🏻And the surreal experience before the game of the Glenbuck going off as we watched the kids peno shoot-out victory over Porto. Side note- I didn’t think the officiating in that game could be much worse. But then step forward Paul Tierney …..🤦‍♂️ It turned into a really good display and ultimately something we’ve long forgotten this season …..

A routine win.

The aforementioned Tierney’s bizarre disallowing of Darwins belter finish, to compound an absolutely atrocious night from him as always, was just the spark we needed to take another giant step toward the top 4 end goal that we keep being told we have no chance of. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Really nice little run we’re putting together here, with little building blocks all aiding the key to everything- Confidence!

Said the weekend the key to how good or not the point at Palace was would be determined bu what happens against Wolves. And now in the aftermath, 10 points out 12, with 4 straight CS, and everyone above us outside if the top 2 well reeled back in, everything looks a whole bunch rosier for Sunday and a Utd team outperforming the actual standard of their side. But thats to discuss nearer the weekend.

Confidence is such a fragile thing in elite level sport. First half, they are taking 2/3 touches and playing at a slow, cautious pace. Then they get a goal, albeit chalked of, realise Wolves really are dog S, and its suddenly free flowing, faced paced, one touch passing that was a joy to watch.

Individually, I thought both Trent and big Virg put in their best showings of the season to quieten the naysayers. Trent was outstanding both ends if the park. And it was nice of Fabinho to finally come back to the party and do Fabinho things in front of the back 4 again. More of that please.

Oh, and much to the disdain of many reading on SM, Jurgens song was belted out gusto 4 times last night. We love and stand by our manger. The best man we could possibly have leading us. What can I tell yer? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Up the turning things around Reds!
 
So City are both putting up netting, and cutting our allocation by 20%. All for a spurious load of bollocks that they’ve still to produce evidence for. 🤦‍♂️

About tine we started doing the same to the low life rats who cone and mock tragedies. Starting with the gobshites who follow Utd Sunday. Want to be a shower of ****** trying to point score over death and sing about Heysel and Hillsborough? Sound. Don’t F come back. Slash the allocation. Then slash it again. Only way you are ever gonna’ stop it.

Exactly what you responded to. What you can’t help but do and embarrassed the living P out of anyone decent again last year.

I just love being called a murderer and told I’m always the victim/the S*n was right. So F hilarious ‘banter’ that does wonders for memories of horrific events nobody should have to go through.

Lets not play games mate on this ta.

Mate, I’m not trying to play games or downplay anything. We have idiots on our fan base that sing about the Hillsborough disaster just as how you have idiots that make airplane gestures anytime we play you lot.

What it does seem like you’re trying to do is retaliate the action taken by city rather than tackle the actual act itself. What’s even more confusing is taking that out on us whom had little to do with whatever agenda city have brewing against you lot.

I’d rather we tackle the issue without alienating an entire fan base.

If you honestly think there's still any Munich **** from us I honestly don't know what F decade you're still living in? Lads were getting smacked at City the aforementioned LC game December for trying to sing the Shipman ***** for a recent example of how we self police ourselves. And we still have some proper little horrible ******. But Munich is thankfully a LONG lost thing from our repertoire. Any ******** that did try an airplane gesture would now get firmly put in his place and be an isolated incident. We aren't F Leeds.

If you want to contest the WHOLE F Road End isn't belting out Heysel and Hillsborough *****, then you must be watching games on mute when you come to ours. F sake, the anti-Glazer protests (that weren't. They were just an excuse to try cause as much aggro and disruption to us getting in. But we covered that back at the start of the season and why you deserve the F parasites but that's another discussion), at OT this season was just solid 'murderers' ***** and the like outside from the masses. You still remain among the worst for that. And we get that ***** from most generic, ******** support now.

Sorry that you decided to get as madly touchy bout this as you did in taking the manager bounce completely out of context. Sorry you seemingly missed by a Country mile that ALL low life rats need their allocation cutting over this that I've called numerous clubs out on all year. You just happen to be the next in line on Sunday.

Not too shabby for a lazy, diving, 1-season wonder aye?

Not only will he go down as one of our all time greats, but he’ll stand comparison with ANY PL player in history when its all said and done. One of the World greats and a whole Continents best ever player.

Phenomenon you have to remind yourself every game that you are exceptionally privileged to be able to watch up close doing his thing.
