strangely i'm more confident for the final than i was before last night's shit show.

big part of why we're still in the hunt for Europe and also Isaks's numbers. still needs replacing though.

hopefully he's also realised willock and pope have done nothing to warrant a start over miley and dubs.

we talking about murphy or do you mean willock?

hasnt hit a decent long pass in months. and his backing off is starting to get worrying.

hopefully Howes plays that back to them.

agree. havent been strong enough to face the highlights. for their first goal schar couldnt have given less of a shit when defending and none of the midfileders were bothered about tracking their runner. but i had a lot of messages that Pope should have saved it. harsh?

theyve got the acoustics spot on. hate commending them for anything. i'd always heard the atmosphere dropped off at anfield after the initial YNWA - didnt last night. i hate them.

hoepfully none of them start the final.

we seem to have chants rather than songs these days. shit ones at that.

despite going to away games for decades, last night was the first time i got to Anfield. i despise Liverpool only slightly less than the mackems and just slightly more than arsenal. but i have to say thats the best away ground in England I've been to. the building has character, great facade, is clean, and beautifully lit. loads space around it. even inside the concourses, though dated, werent cramped. stands close to the pitch. strange that it has no giant screens but thats ok. pisses on the likes of new builds like citeh, emirates and even spurs. just a shame about who plays there.

hopefully he also berates those around him not singing and shame them into it.

will he sing?

yeah it was awful. pockets of chanting that died out after 10 or 15 seconds. noise from the home crowd was deafening at times.

we likely wont have willock or wilson playing in the final. so there is hope.

the tickets that get returned in the next couple of weeks - do failed ballots get an email offering them a ticket?

thats how it should be but club wants to sell more memberships and also wants all ST holders to sign up for cup schemes. to them its about ££££.

i should have worded it differently. got involved with sackpardew and ashleyout. really thought long and hard about giving up our ST's after Rafa left. was a very emotive conversation. decided not to renew, then bottled it 2 days before the renewal. just dont judge us.

wanker indeed. wasnt having a personal dig at him. just stating that a lot of us thought long and hard about giving ours up for the same reason. but in the end we couldnt. doesnt make us better or worse supporters than each other, or more or less worthy of cup final tickets.

was always a risk giving up your ST as a protest against Ashley. never was a guarantee you'd get it back in case of a takeover. you would have been fighting for them with a load of potential glory hunters. thats why we stayed despite despising Ashley.

alfie harrison not showing the promise we thought he had?

always a dodgy thing to do. he was never gonna give up a final ticket.

Killer was knocking about too somewhere.

there was a pre match hug tbf
