Pinch Me (5)

It's easy to take the good times for granted. Many of us have experienced enough good times and bad in the last 2 decades, to enjoy good times when they come. We might not win anything this year, but we are performing so well, currently.

Here's my starter list of things to appreciate, for the Arne era.


Most departing managers don't care how they left the place
Most departing managers don't create chants for the new incoming manager
Most departing managers don't plan to leave 7 months beforehand, allowing for succession planning
Most former sporting directors don't return and again, hire ANOTHER seemingly excellent manager
Most teams dip when they lose a once in a generation manager
Most teams struggle to adapt to all the new "behind the scenes" coaching staff
Most clubs don't hire amazing managers so well (twice in a row) without being supported by bazillionaires.
Most clubs will buy a few new players for the new manager and waste money/make mistakes in process.
Most players take a season or two to adapt to a new managers ways

And now..
New manager is a tactical whiz.
New Manager gets the club
Players taking to him well (not a given, after Jurgen)
Improved our defense
Improved our attacking players
World class Goalkeepers coming out our arses
Blessed with so many leaders (Danke Jurgen)
We beat the Champions of Spain
We beat the Champions of Germany
We beat the Champions of England
We beat the Champions of Europe
We've lost 1 game out of 20.
We are top of the Champions League
We are top of the Premier league (by 9 points)
Winning every game
Great Owners (yes, they are)
Players dying to STAY (even the ones out of contract)
Being one of Europe's best
Expecting to win games
Total preparedness
Expecting signings to be great
Seeing youth players coming through
Lots of unity and a lack of politics
Total respect from our opponents.
Terrific rotation...
Great squad...
No more being dependent on just two players (like Torres and Gerrard)...
High performance rebooted midfield.
Sensational reinvention of a #6.
Top managers in the mix for the Liverpool job
Top performances from the overall squad who step up
EVEN more youth coming through....
Players want to be here.
New players will want to come here.
(add your own)

Who knows what will happen... but it's a great ride again this year (Ride, Sally Ride).

The good times can only be celebrated if we get over the line.

But yes a start I don’t even Arne or the squads biggest fans could have dreamt of.

We just have to keep going.

So we can only enjoy this when we've mathematically won the league? That's a bit of a nonsense, if you can't enjoy this time at this moment then what's the point in watching football at all.

Remember… this is the guy who said the best football we played in 50 years was under BRodgers… which is odd because we won fuck all, so was he enjoying the moment then, or was it just pointless because we didn’t get over the line.

Maybe we’ll get an answer to that and whether BRodgers had us playing better football than Shankly or Klopp????

But we lost to Nottingham Forest !!!!
We have not played anyone - and if we have we are playing them when they are not at their best.
We are a terrible team just hanging on by luck.

Im not complaining at all, but didnt enjoy that match as much as previous wins v City, because it felt so inevitable and expected.

We were so dominant it was lovely.
Ive got a warm glow...

If we win the league I am going to put down to the kit - the yellow stripes.
I am not going to get ahead of my self. The fixtures have been friendly to ourselves in that the tough games were mainly at home, we have Spurs Newcastle and Everton away. 3 tricky fixtures, 3 banana skins
