We should be in that wondrous City by the banks of the Bosporus now having the time of our lives. OUR special City.

Loving the ‘ellesmere ports and sunnies’ weather cracking the flags here but its a proper strange feeling to not be in a European final right now.

To say we’ve been more spoiled than any other English fanbase is an understatement. Blessed.

Be grateful for all we’ve been privileged to experience. And all that is still to come.

I just pray they don’t give us two long haul Monday nights the first two games when the fixtures are released this week down to the renovation overspill.

I have little to no interest in the woman's team. The only player name I know is the local girl Missy Bo Kearns. And that's only down to her being Curtis' mate. And Matt Beard the manager. Like most lads, the woman's game just has zero interest to me.

But coming from a football mad City where I've grown up with the majority of females having an interest in the game, supporting a club who had a large demographic of female supporters going the match before many other clubs and LONG before Italia 90, and then the PL, dragged football kicking and screaming into a new, fashionable age and made it a friendly, attractive, all inclusive place to go for all genders and ethnicities; I've always been a big advocate of the woman's game finding it's own path and growing. So young girls can not only have their own heroes they can emulate on the pitch, but actually see a viable career path in the game like we always dreamed of in the men's professional game.

You don't need to like something to appreciate just what it brings to others and how important it can be in enriching peoples lives.

So it's always really irked me that Liverpool 'claim' to have a woman's team. Using the girls in all their promotional packages as being part of the L'pool family. Together as one. Whilst simultaneously ostracising them over the water to play and train. And putting the bare minimum in investment into the team. You can't promote yourself as an all inclusive football club. And then NOT include the woman's team who represent you! L'pool have failed the girls badly for long enough now and the clubs attitude toward them has been to our detriment and shame.

Credit where credit is now due to Liverpool. This is a massive step in the right direction to writing those wrongs and finally fully embracing the woman's team into the all inclusive football club we pertain to be. Super smart move from L'pool from every aspect. With the added bonus to the community of the kids still being there from Jamie and Robbie's Academy set-up.

The girls being one of the very few WSL teams to have their own dedicated training facility is superb to see in itself.

For that facility to be Melwood, bringing the arl' place and all the ridiculous memories it holds in our storied history back into the fold, is the perfect way for the football club to hopefully start taking one of the teams that represents them Nationally far more seriously.

No Mo potentially the NY. AFCON back during the season again this year. 13/ 1 through 11/ 2.

The mid-season PL break helps, if still not ideal. But that's the global football calendar now.

At least it's a lot better mitigated for this time given we have 4 other top draw attackers. We'll have a plan in place for this and be sound.

Fingers crossed Mo is away for the full duration and finally leads his Country to International honours.

F state of BT Sport man. 🤦‍♂️


Yeah, as ‘surprising’ an answer as the same one Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola, Johan Cruyff, Jose Morinho, Thierry Hemry, Alessandro Del Piero, Fabio Cannavaro, Kevin De Bruyne et al have given.

But Bob from Burnley and Steve from Sheffield tweet its **** so there you go. 🙄

Just like this guy who replied to the tweet 😂
 


Just like Calvin Ramsey's yesterday, another excellent loan to a really solid football club we have a super relationship with. With the added benefit of it being another attacking football playing, localised loan where it's not difficult to keep constant eyes on. All of which isn't decided by chance.

Made up to see another Academy grad starting their embryonic path into the full pro men's game. Always like a young goalie in particular getting invaluable development experience in the full throttle, rough and tumble, anything goes, fella's fighting for their livelihood's lower leagues. The fact it's another Scouser playing in the football league is just added pride. All the best mate to a successful season showcasing your talent. Work your backside off and do everything the coaches at Crewe ask of you.

Like Calvin, who gets to make up for lost time after his horribly unlucky first season with injuries, with serious game-time in the Championship; there's a real opening for a back-up slot here down the line up for grabs.
