Good old Rachel is now deciding who is our best player of the season, whilst considering past players of which she clearly has no knowledge. I've zero time for this crap. Get women pundits covering the women's game. Boost the women's game - I watch LFC in it - but stop this 'positioning' crap. If you want a pundit for the men's game, choose a bloke, but choose one, for a change, who makes sense.

There was a point this season they were considered by some to be our closest challengers in the league. Then we twatted them 4-0.
Since then they have had ample chances to finish in the top four,threw it all away, had a late chance to redeem them self due to their rivals dropping points, and still managing to bottle it.

Who said he only has one leg?
It's because I said that he's right footed. Which is apparently wrong cause he's decent with his left foot as well.
Just a joke from when we signed him, and Ross was against signing him because of the ankle injury that he thought was incredibly serious and career threathing. Conspiracy theory stuff.
Rosco had a whole theory that Saints sold us damaged goods. Turned out to be as true as most other conspiracies.
In fairness, I remember being worried about his injury record before he joined.
Likewise, it's an impressive record by any standard these days.
Can you lot stop it? I'm such a worrier you're worrying me like I feel like I'm late worrying!
Haha he barely played before he joined us.
But looking back now, that was probably just down to him refusing to play until he joined us.
Ross has a conspiracy that Messi was finished 6 years ago because he’d stopped taking steroids.
I wonder if he's really suited to being a manager at all. If he was just a coach, maybe it would free him from the need to do the 'vision' stuff and spout the Brentisms and just concentrate on working with the players, who seem to really enjoy and respect that aspect of his contribution. But he'll never accept that 'demotion'.
Nice Divock interview post game:
Divock Origi believes Liverpool’s ‘beautiful’ title-winning season has not yet fully sunk in and will only become more enjoyable as time passes.
The Premier League champions registered a 32nd win of the campaign with a 3-1 victory versus Newcastle United, setting a club-record points tally of 99 in the process.
Origi was on the scoresheet for the second successive season at St. James’ Park and paid tribute to a ‘special’ year as the Reds signed off 2019-20 in style.
“It’s beautiful. I think it’s something that, with time, we will be able to enjoy more and more,” the Belgian told Liverpoolfc.com.
“It has been a very special season and things like this are so big that it needs time to digest. We celebrated it well, we’re excited to be able to be with the fans, seeing them and being able to celebrate it together. Now, I think we can go on vacation with a perfect feeling.”
Liverpool fell behind after just 26 seconds on Sunday, but battled back with goals from Virgil van Dijk, Origi and Sadio Mane.
Jürgen Klopp’s side’s ability to respond to setbacks was on show for all to see once again; a characteristic that has proved invaluable in bringing a 30-year wait for the title to an end.
“Exactly, that’s the thing. I think the start wasn’t perfect but after that we made sure that the mentality was right, that we played our game and we said, ‘patience’ - just keep moving the ball, keep looking for the spaces,” reflected Origi.
“We played against a good team defensively with a lot of courage and who also came with a big heart. But eventually we just worked hard and managed to score those three goals and they massively helped, of course.
“That’s one of the few times that happened [conceding early in a match]. I can’t remember many times that happened. But, again, in football it’s about adapting and always finding solutions.
“We train those situations in training; we speak about it and we try to take care of that. Again, for us, experience-wise it’s good to be able to encounter situations like these so that we can take them forward for in the future.”It was the No.27 who put the champions ahead in the contest courtesy of an emphatic strike in the 59th minute, with Mane’s curler then sealing all three points late on.
On his goal, Origi stated: “I like to come inside, try to shoot and I’m happy that it went in. I tried to use my shot, so I’m very happy that it went in.
“I just enjoy it. It was also the end of the season last year [his last goal at St. James’ Park]. Last year was obviously a bit different, the scenario, but it makes it special. It’s a beautiful stadium and being able to play here and score is amazing.
“Whenever I come on, I just give everything. As a striker, you enjoy scoring and assisting but eventually, as a team, you can see that we all work for each other.
“Some boys sometimes don’t score for a while and then they score many goals. Eventually, the team tries to keep winning and we had a lot of wins this year and a lot of joy.”

Nena. I had that back in the day (1983),
Bollocks they do. £40m in the coffers. It would have been great to have them around to offload a few more this Summer.
Ho ho ho. The conspiracy theories about a new world order, economic reset, mandatory vaccines, continuous surveillance, a cashless society, government by ministerial dictat, media censorship ?
Had a guy on LinkedIn (some kind of professional goalkeeping coach I guess) go on a rant about how Ian Rush was not a skilled player, only defended well from the front and scored massive amounts of goals. But not skilled. That's gotta be a conspiracy of some kind, right?
It's the necessary, dumb, colocated argument to the one we've all made in our heads at some point:
I'm actually really brilliant at this game, I mean, I think I see things others just can't see. It's a shame that physically I'm irretrievably shit at it.

Me too
The funny thing is that's more or less how Klopp spoke about himself as a player.
Old gits aren't we.
