I know what you mean and agree to an extent... the problem I've got is Wembley. I fucking hate the place. Euro finals and Cardiff and old Wembley were boss. This new one just stinks of shit. I wouldn't go there again.
New Wembley I think was my biggest gripe in that final.

It's fucking shite, and rather than songs being amplified, they were muted by the design.

It's a soulless place
 
Also, our front 3 still don't look like they're all on the same wavelength. It's improved, sure, but wolves could have been fucking tonked last night if we'd bothered our arse to try. It would have been perfect to her up the front 3 ahead of games that don't inspire the best performances

They couldn't have fucked it up more under any circumstances. It should be used solely for Gary Barlow concerts.
 
Cup Finals are the best (only know this as I've never been in a position when we can actually win the league on the final day of a season. 2014 didnt count as there was no way City were going to lose at home on the last day).

Are you coming over if we've got a sniff this year? More than welcome to crash in ours.

It's looking like Paul's stag is moving back to Liverpool - the week after the league finishes. Should be confirmed later in the week.

As a result that will have to be my free pass for this year
 
We are trying to win something .. the big dog ! How will the fans feel about that ? How will they feel if we fuck it up by injuring players in games that meaning nothing in comparison but which may greatly influence our chances in the one that really matters.

It's that have your cake and eat it question again. We may end up with nothing but it won't be for a lack of trying or planning.

You know what gets me in this whole debate ? The hypocrisy (I'm not pointing fingers at you Pete). There's previously been a debate on here (last season) on what matters more, the PL or the CL, and those now crying about fielding a weakened team in the FAC are the ones that were adamant the PL was the ONLY one that matters after 30 years. Hypocrites.

Theres a middle ground there somewhere. Maybe last night, playing one of Mane/Salah/Firmino with Shaq and Origi etc? There would have been other things we could have done differently. I understand Klopp's hands were tied with the back 4 of course. But it just felt like we threw that away last night. There was nothing. Up front was the worst. I was disgusted watching that first half. No effort from the front two whatsoever. Sturridge can fuck off after that last night.

I want to win the title more than anyone, Ive never seen us win it (I started going in 1991). But I fucking love winning trophies full stop, and Im annoyed that I haven't seen us win one in almost 7 years now.

Ok let me know the dates when sorted, I'll meet you boys for a drink in town.

I never understood that expression.

You have to have a cake to eat it, so to make out that you can either have a cake or eat a cake, but not both, is just illogical.

Maybe an intellectual (JJ?) can explain

Another one is "cheap at half the price" ...
 
I think "debate" is a bit strong. You said one thing, everyone else told you to shut the fuck up.
Yeah your memory is definitely failing old man. Wishful thinking doesn't count.

And if you had been right and I was shouted down ... wouldn't that underline their hypocrisy now ?

The problem is taking any chances, as Lovren showed us after 5 mins, and Klopp took a bigger chance over the last 20 mins when he could see we could save it. Maybe he blinked.

However the issue surely was with the players rather than the selection per se. Shaq., Keita, Sturridge all shite and hardly bothered their arses. Milner was shite but at least he tried. It was just very poor all round.

If we do win it you'll be here for the last few days of the party at the very least!
 
Will do. 17th to the 19th May is what we're looking at. aintree is on one of the days

Aintree is Friday night mate. Its a decent little meeting. Full of Fanny. Usually about £25 ticket and they have a live act on after the racing. I went a couple of years ago and Deacon Blue were on.

I'd go there if I was you, train from town is 20 mins and then after the racing straight back into town. Im well up for that if you decide to do it. Let me know.

To have your cake and eat it means to want two opposing things at the same time. Instead of 'have' think 'keep'.

The 'cheap' expression is very old and open to different interpretations dependent upon use and locality.

The FA cup is England's most prestigious domestic trophy and is best forgotten about now for fear of turning into an over hysterical fanny.
 
It's different in hypothetical situations where "you win the fa cup or the league"

In reality watching an abject display like last night gives confidence to our rivals and makes teams who would have been quaking, now think there's something to be taken from us

How can our opponents gain confidence from that? They won’t be playing against 9/10/any of that team last night.

It's not really the point though, it's that we got beat, so they will be thinking that we will be low on confidence as a club and that it's as good a time as any to be giving us a game.

Then they will see the lineup.. and shit themselves.. We will be fine.. its Brighton ffs ..

We have been winning these type of games without even getting out of second gear all season

You could argue defeats in the champions League and League cup could have done the same, but it didn't

We have had two tricky spells this season, we are about to get through the second in a better position than we did with getting through the first

That’s it. The media went on about only 1 win in 5 when we went out of the rumblows cup and lost a couple in the European Cup. Like that meant anything as were still getting results in the league.

Look what you did. LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!!
 
Alisson won't be rested. He spent the evening sitting around in Italy rather than coming on for the last twenty minutes. Bound to collapse.
 
Look even if we lose.. which we won't, we will have come through two tricky periods relatively unscathed and in strong position

Top of the league either way...

Sadly though we will finish the season in 4th and loose the champions League final against City in Madrid

City will do the treble, and football will feel shit again as a Liverpool Supporter..
 
It's got nothing to do with who played. And 90% of the team DID play against City. It's another stupid fucking point, though it's fine because happy-clappy Froggy is with you and we're all in a clique apparently.

It's like bellends United on here.

Ya against city one game. Jesus Christ. If lose against Brighton then maybe we can start getting worried to be so anxious after one league defeat away to City is nothing to worry about.

Happy clappy me hole.

I've said all season I don't think we can win the league so I'm hardly in that boat, I just think its ridiculous to get worried after one league game and a cup game against a good side where we played virtually an entirely different 11 that plays in the league.
