‘We can win this league yanno’
Let’s start with the fan ‘experience’-
Clubs can say all they like that NFC ‘phone tickets are the future but right now it's not fit for purpose. Absolute carnage getting in. We got up the ground 11:50 AM. I missed the first 5 mins or so of the game! The away section at City is on 3 levels. L1 and L2 paper tickets. L3 was the NFC. Outside, there’s a check before the turnstiles with three separate lanes for each level. (A joke in itself as you all go the same bit the otherside regardless.). L1 and L2 was a breeze and barely any queues. The L3 queue was an absolute farce. Even GMP were like ’We know lads. We’ve had this out with City but they insist on this. Makes no sense to us either.’ Which was far more polite than the gobby Manc bleep of a steward telling us we should have got there earlier! Earlier than 40 mins before KO? ********! And then you get through that to the turnstiles. To find loads of lads ‘phones not working and them being sent back out the queue round City’s TO to get a paper ticket! Defeating the whole object! If the technology doesn’t work, don’t use it!
Palace, which is always a nightmare getting in. will be great fun being as they are the next to trial this.
City’s Support-
It was hilarious watching the fume as the Ev plane circled, to be greeted with ‘Blue and white *****!…..’ from us ….. Which they madly thought was directed at them so they responded in kind.
The club did a great job of making sure there was no tragedy chanting during the game. After however ….. Coming down the stairs getting out, you come down parallel to City’s fans leaving with a divide all the way ….. All the way down, we were serenaded with ‘Murderers! Murderers!’ and other anti-Hillsborough chants. Which continued outside. NOTHING changed bar they controlled it so the cameras didn’t hear it through the game.
Horrible, low life rats those bleeps.
’Telling yer, we can win this league yanno’
What a fantastic result that was! From a fantastic game of football. Not a classic. But a game through which, yet again, L’pool and City showed why they are streets ahead of anyone else as they fought out a well deserved draw for both. They had the better of the first half. We had the better of the second. But at no point did you feel we’d lose as we were brave to keep attacking and keep creating chances. As were City. Not all on point. But the chances, and the chances before the chances to create mire chances, kept it enthralling. With the added bonus of one of your own webbing in an absolute beauty to send Guardiola into fits. A point at least the aim before KO. And we did superb to come away with that to put us in such a dominant position it’s untrue. The contrast between our lads celebrating in absolute belief they can win this thing, compared to City being dejected at L’pool being back to their level, was stark at the end.
Normally, this game is at Anfield and we have to go there in April. Not this year! That’s 13 games down, and we’ve not been outplayed in any one of them. We’ve gone away to Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham, Brighton and now City and been, at worst, their equal in every game. We’d be unbeaten were it now for the most atrocious day of officiating VAR has ever had at Tottenham. EVERYONE has to come to us the second half of the season with only Arsenal left to visit. (And Utd if you still consider them part of the top 6.). The league is literally in our hands to lose and we are just getting started!
Manchester was great after basking in shutting City up. L’pool was even better as town was bouncing at this awesome group of lads we have again who are proper serious about winning it all!
’We WILL win this F league yanno’!’
Up the Reds! FTT!!!!!

♂ Along with (laughably, and VERY sickly), still claiming we caused Heysel to stop them dominating Europe! 
Enjoyable game though that went exsctly how group games should. Points gained with minimal effort. Mad how so many put so much on Toulouse which was a nothing game in relation to the group where the result or performance didn’t matter a jot. Kudos to the Lask fans. Brilliant before and after. So made up were they to be at Anfield on the ‘biggest night in their history’ as they couldn’t stop gushing. That mad half the stand sing/ stand up, then the other half was brilliantly coordinated and fascinating to watch. Shout out to their goalie too who had a really good night. 
For as good as Fulham were, to be in that ridiculous position was ALL of our own making. What should have been a routine win in proper grim conditions (freezing cold and the driving rain was having players sliding all over), was anything but as L’pool toiled and laboured for much of the game. But they found a way for a massive win. A win that had Klopp’s previous vintage ‘Mentality Monsters’ stamped all over it. A win that showed spine and backbone in its defiance to not lose the points. A win that goes a long way toward winning a title. A win that had the manager fist pumping and Anfield as wild as shes been all season long.
I thought he was excellent at City. And he was the best midfielder by far again yesterday. Wonderfully graceful, super intelligent footballer.
And that awesome ‘shushing’ celebration ….. Yeah, thats aimed at every last one of you who EVER questioned just what a generational, phenomenal, World class talent he is.
