Liverpool thread 2019/20

The situation with the scousers keepers reminds me of the goalkeeping crisis we had in the 90s when we ended up with John Burridge. Sky have just ran a little article in it and what I had forgotten was whilst Andy Lonergan is 35 Burridge was 43!

Yes another record City hold - the oldest player to play in the PL

They think of themselves as football royalty.

In that article sent to Jacob Reese Mogg it said that 'traditionally' their fans would sing 'god save our team' when singing the national anthem - they really do think that they are royalty.

I'm not sure what the measure is of a 'big club' - but it seems to be defined by silverware above all other things (stadium capacity, following, expensive players, history etc etc).... The term seems to have redefined itself.

I remember when Forest were a big club, the biggest club in Europe for a while. And, as for history, isn't Nottingham County the oldest club in the league?

Nottingham County? Lol
They woukd be the oldest in the league had they not got relegated to the conference in May!

No such team.

You not remember the countdown clock counting down from 44 when we won the league in 2012? Last time before that was 1968, 44 years. What a fucking day.

Cheers

The top picture was at the Swamp for many years, showing the rags' "sense of (sic (or sick)) humour" over our plight .
The bottom picture was a banner of when the clock had counted down.

I am referring to the scoreboard at the north stand end of the ground which depicted a clock going from 44 to 0, immediately after the final whistle on 13th May 2012, showing the number of years since we last won the league until the current date.


But you know this already, don't you?

Thanks for the information yes I had forgotten that !

Standard Chartered hit with another £10M plus fine by the treasury for sanctions breaches

What have RAWK got to say it all?

There is absolutely no way that a player, even in peak condition, even with some of the world’s best medical care, even in the keeper role, would be playing today in a league match if they hurt their ankle bad enough for it to swell “like an elephant’s foot” on Wednesday night.

I am shocked, absolutely SHOCKED to find that Liverpool fabricated yet another sob story.

44 ?

The 35 years was from the League Cup win in '76 to the FA Cup victory in 2011.

1968 to 2012 was 44 years between league titles.
