Who invented this "sit on the advertising boards, fold your arms and nod" thing after scoring? Kudus did it the other day and now the Leicester goalscorer just did it. Glad the Leicester scorer was booked, not for leaving the field of play necessarily but for such a shit celebration.

https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/longship-pub-closed-in-hebburn-due-to-fighting-mags-got-a-hiding.1622462/ This is a laugh too. A pub in Hebburn apparently closed early due to fighting, absolutely no evidence of who was involved other than him saying the people who got filled in were mags Must be class sat round chickentown way with time to spare making up stories like that. Probably how they fill the time we spend watching our side play midweek matches in various cups and European competitions.

Great thread saying "Potential 360?" suggesting that if Ian Beale wins the derby things will totally change on RTG. Takes a few posts before one of them points out that'd be a 180 rather than a 360 thick cunts.

Roy and Moyes were definitely the cream of that group labelled (unfairly or not) as PFMs, they've had more successes than failures in their careers. Without being able to quantify it they seem to me as fairly "old school" types but definitely receptive to the modern innovations of the game and willing to balance the two to good effect. Thankfully the ones who made a point of rubbishing innovations such as data, tactics, analysis etc seem to have almost entirely died out at the top level now. I remember Bruce when Sunderland manager circa 2010-11 once boasted in a press conference that he didn't know how to send an email, as if that was a positive thing that he didn't waste his time with such progressive nonsense. Souness with his "tactics are for schoolteachers" remarks was another one who darkened our door.

They hyped up Man City v Spurs literally 2 weeks ago and it was a fucking incredible 3-3 thriller

Klopp no doubt will blame that non pen shout should they not get their usual sickening late winner.

Carragher bemoaning a "harsh" card for Endo as he makes his fourth foul in the half.

Amrabat is absolutely chod

You just know they won't be this disjointed and insipid when we go to Anfield

Rare occasion I want to see Liverpool win and heavily. Want that neckless prick embarrassed again. If Man U should cause an upset though, an angry sore loser Klopp will be a laugh too. Win win this really. Hope it's a good game.

Took the goal well enough but aside from that I thought he had one of his most one-footed, frustrating and irritating games. He's definitely someone I'd want us to keep, and as we're missing Murph or another option his lack of quality is very obvious at times. Can never knock his effort though and the goal was probably just enough reward for that.

Don't think he was "dropped" as such. With players of that age most managers like to dip them in and out. Great to see him slot in so well as a sub when he won't have been expecting to get on til the second half tbf.

He's not Trippier but he's so solid, made some class one-on-one wins and got up and down well all day. Absolutely happy with him as the cover for RB and CB at the min, he's canny.

What a moment that was. Delighted for him, he came on and did fantastically even without the goal.

I think with the Dortmund & Milan home games, they felt like a bit like the Man U cup final in that we faced teams with more Champions League experience and nous than us. (or "final" experience in the Man U case, same kind of thing though). That said, we didn't really look like scoring in the cup final whereas in the two CL home defeats we were a lot closer - hit the crossbar twice & Wilson missed a sitter he usual buries Vs Dortmund, the Miggy chance & Bruno shot saved onto the crossbar which puts us in the driving seat hugely Vs Milan. They were much finer margins and that's a good sign of progress - next time in the CL we go with that much more experience, plus whatever else we've brought in by then. Howe will definitely have learned from the experiences and I bet we see that next time around when we look back on this CL campaign.

that's absolutely dogshit like. Obviously he's not "at fault" for every single one but it inspires absolutely zero confidence.

If Trippier was indeed injured then that's fair enough, I'll retract my comment about it being odd.

He's the real deal this lad. Games like tonight will do him the world of good.

Don't get the Trippier sub, subbing him when he was having a decent game with Saturday off to come and yet he left him on when he was gassed to fuck and making mistakes the last two weeks. Gordon going off just as he was coming to the boil felt odd too. Wonder if they were pre-planned subs rather than reactionary but they felt odd at the time and we unravelled soon after. He'll learn from this I'm sure, first European campaign. The overall feeling is that Dortmund away aside, we've played well and competed in all the games and yet finished bottom due to sides with a bit more savvy and nous and experience in Europe edging us, as well as the travesty of a pen at PSG. Same feeling as I had after the Man U final, no disgrace at all just a team full of big-game experience versus one at the start of its journey (Tripps aside). Could do with a humdrum, boring as shit 1-0 win against Fulham just to get the winning feeling back. Good to have a few more bodies and hopefully we can push on this season.

We didn't deserve that. Nowt fucking drops for us ever, was just like the Dortmund home game in that respect, so many near misses or chances where the ball almost fell for us. I need to see the winning goal again but my reaction in real time was that Bruno absolutely swerved the opportunity to make a foul, take the yellow and keep us alive. He played so well all night but that moment may have been the one that cost us. Absolutely gut wrenching stuff tonight. Feel like it'll probably be flat as a fart on Saturday after that, everyone's taken an emotional hammering.

You're a fucking joke with this shite as usual.

Bayern lead, oh dear Man U

Not too precious of whether he starts tomorrow, features as a sub or stays in reserve for Saturday, it's just lovely to see another player back tbh. Keep them coming!
