Did anybody else hear...?

[Whaddapie]

... David Pleat say, when we were 1-2 down with about 25 minutes left, something along the lines of "I wonder if Brendan Rodgers will bring on Jamie Carragher up front for the last 20 minutes, to add some muscle to their attack..?"

Please tell me that I didn't dream that up...

The reason why no English manager is managing one of top 4/6

Yeah I heard it too. I thought it was said tongue in cheek. Couldn't believe it was said sincerely.

Hopefully Brendan will be the one to do it this year.

I feel like I'm in the minority but I really like David Pleat.

 

[Dreambeliever]

He also said we were superb fans known for our patience and knowledge of the game.

 

[juniormember]

Who's 'we'?

 

[Dreambeliever]

Liverpool fans.

That's a shit cliche.

That's a shit cliche.

It did used to be at least half right.

 

[Hansern]

Kinda feels like some parts of our fans still are. Cant remember any booing in any of our home games so far when results havent gone our way.

I don't actually mind him, though his abject inability to say too many players' names can be irritating (did you know for example that we once had a player called Steve McMenamin? 'Coz that's what David P always called him).

The thing I used to hate about David Pleat has beeen repeated so many times at this point that I just find it amusing: it's when he starts to drone on about how he saw player x when he was at club y 10 years ago, and the insider knowledge he reports is stuff like, "he's was nice lad", "he was such a talent." Sometimes he says the latter when the guy, now 10 years later, has either fizzled, or is recognized widely to be a great player. And it takes him about 5 minutes to go through the story.

Benanoon, is what he actually used to say.

Used to drive me nuts.

You're not the minority, you're a bleeding idiot.

I actually quite like him as well as it goes. He's always pretty complementary of LFC.

I like Pleat because he's funny. There was a facebook page dedicated to his stranger utterances, some of them boggled the mind. I think my favourite one was, referring to a gk's pink strip:

Pleat: the goalkeeper there, collecting the ball in his attractive aubergine uniform...
Drury: Er, that's not aubergine, David.

Surreal.

I meant Pleat not Peter. A brass would be a bit of a waste of money for Peter given his 'condition'.
