For a while l went out with an attractive red head from Crosby. Bright girl her father was HM of a big comp nearby.
She loved to play the 'quirky' scouse sense of humour.
A bloody nutter underneath that.

Plenty of our own have on other threads, and it makes for some fucking embarrassing reading. Fact is that nobody is ripping up trees so far and all the usual suspects look vulnerable. Only Everton and Villa have managed to put together a run of 4 consecutive wins, something that none of the so-called “Big Six” have achieved.
Denial, clearly you haven't read any of my posts on the post match forum.
I believe in constructive criticism, not the cry baby slag off our players approach.
No team stays at the top forever, there are transition periods.
Yes so true. I was amazed at the City post match thread at all the doom and gloom.
I know we can all get like that when our team loses, it really can colour our days/weekends. Abit like putting a manager or player in front of the camera immediately after a bad result, we can all type first and repent at leisure, when online.
The results have been crazy this season, but we are only a few games in and so you really cannot draw any conclusions about how things are going to go. From a time when probably Liverpool & City fans would go into games thinking or almost expecting to win, there now has to be that little doubt.
Whilst there is the other thread about becoming "fed up with football", and the money and power grabs I think do disillusion so many, I almost think these first 5-6 games have really brought back a degree of uncertainty and excitement to the league...who would have thought that City would lose 5-2, Liverpool 7-2, Trafford 6-1?
From my POV last season was great to actually win (finally) but was not on a par with the excitement of the previous season where it was a real dog fight and it was none stop pressure. Obviously i want Liverpool to do well but it makes it better when there is some excitement and uncertainty to the league
You have totally missed my point. What I am trying to get over is the gravity of our injury problems in the striker dept and compare how they would cope without both Salah and Mane. They would still have Jota and Firminho, but they would be severely weakened.

We played Argyle eight times in two consecutive seasons; 1987-88 '88-89.
We won seven of the eight, by an aggregate of 23-10.
Coincidentally, the only one we lost was the first City game I attended. We were 2-0 up at half-time and conceded three after the break. All the goals were scored in the opposite end to where we were standing.
Typical City!
The second year, we won 1-0, thanks to a Brian Gayle header from a Hinchcliffe corner.
It was at the height of the inflatables craze, and I was absolutely gobsmacked by the number and variety of the blow-up characters on parade.
As you say, we were promoted at the end of that season.

Not sure if this has been posted but
LFC Staff using charities to survive lockdown
I work for Liverpool Football Club in a number of different roles, one of which is at the tour and museum centre.I thought you would all like to know the feeling on the ground., in the first lockdown anfield tour centre staff were given an average wage by the club after the failed attempt at a furlough claim due to the negative press, this was very helpful as about 60 members of casual staff lost their income and could have been destitute without.
What do I mean by casual staff? the majority are casual staff at tour and museum, zero hour direct employees of Liverpool some of whom work 4-5 times a week spanning many years at the club, casual only in name and rights but often full time in commitment. this suits many of us as we are retiree's but some of the younger men and women rely solely on the club for income.
This is not an attack on the club but feel this context is important for what is happening at the moment.
what has happened in the last few weeks has been far worse, the club have started sending the shifts out on a daily basis with most people not receiving any at all.the feeling at the club is that the place should be closed due to lack of visitor numbers thanks to lockdown/covid anxiety but the club don't want to do that as they will have to compensate the staff again, they are instead left in limbo. it is unfortunately much more viable to reduce the shifts of most to zero and leave them to walk alone whilst this all blows over.
Some members of staff have set up an in house charity where we can drop off food and money for other members of staff to come in and receive no questions asked, this is crazy at a club like Liverpool .Many long term employee's using charities and claiming Universal credit (we all know how long that takes to come in) does not tide well with YNWA,
I have attached a couple of screenshots from the in house whatsapp messaging group to give you a feel for the problem, names and numbers blurred.

We also played them twice in 1973/74, in the League Cup semi final. I went to both games, home and away. The games were played during the power crisis.We played Argyle eight times in two consecutive seasons; 1987-88 '88-89.

Dont believe it LFC is a socialist club and for the working classes it would never treat the liverpudlians workers like this. Next you will be telling me they were thinking of furloughing their staff, as if !

They are a cult.
"They won't pay us properly but we understand why as Mo, Bobby amd Mane are the holy trinity who deserve everything they need to restore our great club to glory..."

You read my mind.
Club masquerade as a socialist ethos when they are run by one of the world's largest culture capitalists.

We used to spank goals past Steve Cherry. Then he turns up for one match at Notts County in 1990 playing like Lev Yashin. The bastardWe played Argyle eight times in two consecutive seasons; 1987-88 '88-89.

Truly shocking, the whole zero hours contract thing is bad enough but to "play the game" of keeping the tours going and not furloughing or simply paying / supporting them is very very poor form

Yeah, I remember that, though as I was only 11 at the time, and had no one prepared to take me, I couldn’t attend.

I’m sure that fact, like a certain event in Belgium 35 years ago, has been erased from ‘istree.
