They only like the C/L anthem, domestic anthems don't matter. Seriously though I thought it was odd and something else was going on

Dont think "God save the queen" goes down well with 30,000 Norwegians.

No mention of it either... embarrassing

2014. City deny LFC their first title since 1990, despite LFC beating City with 3 games of the season remaining which left them in pole position. They were selling 2013/14 champions shirts
2015. City sign Raheem Sterling. He moves in order to win trophies and now has 3 Premier League winners medals to Liverpool's none. LFC not too bothered though, as Jordan Ibe (AFC Bournemouth) is said to be the better player
2016. City beat LFC on penalties in the League Cup final
2019. City once again deny LFC their first title in 29 years, despite a club record points total for Liverpool
2019. City beat LFC on penalties in the Community Shield

Feel their pain at the hands of City over recent years. May it go on and on and on and on ...

you forgot to add 2019....29/12/2018 city claw back a 10 point deficit to deny lfc their first premier title

Why is he making sense and taking our side?

Because they hate the dippers more than they do us.

Did anyone hear Glenda praising the buswreckers' vocal support, saying it was just like Klanfield at times?

He was right on that; we didn’t hear a murmur from the twats until they scored.

I agree with some of this, but I thought Raz was very direct in H1 and as a result he was playing very naturally, instinctive if you prefer. If you look at the stats over the two halves you’ll see that it’s more than likely pep decided to go out and defend the lead rather than push on for the win. Why he did that I can only guess maybe to invite them on to see if we could contain them or maybe he thought we were gassed so he was trying to conserve energy, I don’t know.

Maybe he just wanted to see what they had ready for the league games.

First thought that might be the most beautiful kit I've seen. Shame Sané got injured. While we were a man down nice delivery from Walker, KDB kept it alive, sweet flick David and Sterling finally scored against his old club. Great penalties, will give Bravo motm, thought the win was very deserved, feels great to retain the Community Shield!

Sane "got" injured? Bad as Ramos on Salah....

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Their fans should be called out for booing the anthem but I won’t hold my breath. Battered them first hour and then as they made wholesale changes they bossed possession, understandably. We won so who cares and despite what Robin the alleged rapist said we aren’t scared of them. And we only had half a side out.

How great is it to have football back.i've missed it a lot

But... would you be saying the same if Liverpool nicked it today? ;-)

 

[Gazza]

Why were the scousers booing the national anthem ?

I've done a lot of research on this subject, been to many libraries, looked for clues on the internet, in fact I've given up a lot of my free time just to gain this knowledge............... it's because they are all c*nts.

 

[mscenterh750]

Great day. We win whilst not at our best, against a full strength (barring Mane) scumbag side and a corrupt ref.

What's not to like.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Not missed the appalling refereeing.

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

I wonder if the 'Liverpool have 7 trophies to play for' story lines will now be rewritten to say 6 . . . or will their much trumped boast be suddenly forgotten about?

 

[Proy]

He showed similar weaknesses to the kid imo.

Slow on the turn, bereft when receiving the ball back to goal and a touch slow in his thinking at times.

Not saying he won’t improve I’m 100% sure he will.

There were lots of positives as well.

Just don’t think played as well as some are suggesting.

I don’t think he was all that, I just disagree with your synopsis as to the reasons why.

Like I said, his first game in this country, he was always likely to look a little jaded. The difference in pace between La Liga and the PL is remarkable and imo that is all we could see today. A man trying to come to terms with that.

I think the comparison to Javi Garcia, who was persistently shit, after one game is somewhat unfair.

 

[Vienna_70]

I forgot to mention that it was very encouraging to see Leroy walk up all those steps unaided to accept his winner’s medal.

I know his knee was heavily bandaged, but the injury can’t be too bad.

 

[wagonman]

I won’t judge him on this game but he’ll need to buck his ideas right up to be part of this side.

For christ's sake behave yourself...

Gabby ended van dijks pathetic ‘not being dribbled past’ stat too

I think he'll be great when he gets used to the league.

They havent won 7 trophies in 25 years , delusion doesnt even start to come into it.
