Really good one this week.  Of all the 'BIG SIX' clubs, they are the one I despise the least.  This is weird, because I remember the 80s when they were dominant.  Maybe it's because their dominance was built less on spending nation state levels of money on teams.  They still did poach players from other clubs of course (I remember getting Steve McMahon's autograph at Bodymoor Heath and the next day him going there), but it seemed a little bit less inevitable then, at least to the prepubescent me!

I also remember being a kid and wanting them to do well in the televised European games, not supporting, but something approaching that.  I wouldn't now. 

I also used to quite like Klopp, but he's gone down in my estimation recently.

The 'sign on' chanting is embarrassing.   

Anyway here's to us smashing them on the weekend.

Singing sign on, is also a little “yesterday” unemployment rates in Birmingham are higher than Liverpool. In fact at 6.9% Brum has the highest rate of unemployment of any major city in the UK. They could justifiably sing that at us. Personally I always find it sad that working classes mock each other in this way anyway.

Not so much yesterday but yester-half-a-century and some.

I like Liverpool, the city, the people and the fact they have purple wheelie bins.

I'd take the draw.

I honestly can’t remember our result there under McLeish. I know Lambert won there…. twice! Who’d have thought that?

Top stuff Dave. Completely agree with 'the sign on/victims shite' point too, it's the worst.

‘…more traditional Liverpool heartlands…’👏😃

Great read, Dave; here’s hoping for a great result under the best manager we’ve had since the 7-2!

I think we drew. Was that one where Suarez dived late on for the penalty.
