Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[Withnail]

The reason I don’t want them - or the rags, or Chelsea - in the CL is that our record against English teams in European competition is atrocious.

I hope we don't draw an English team in the QF, but sooner or later, we are going to have to beat one.

I studied the Rothmans League Book as a kid as if it was my catechism. It's been so useful in life to know I could recognise a team by it's away socks, and recite 92 different nicknames for teams.
Happy days. Jumpers for goalposts.

Was the old Rothams League books that allowed me to find out about the leagues and teams of countries around the world. Gave me more knowledge of the world game than my peers at the time.

Is this a first for the word "catechism" on Bluemoon?

I’ve certainly never read it on here before. I had to look it up.

My hat is well and truly doffed.

@gordondaviesmoustache probably had a ham fisted go at using it at some point I’m sure

Get a shit-stirring bid in.....

This rumour should be started everywhere to wind the scousers up and cause unrest

I hope those ( dippers) don't fxxk up before we play them.
I don't want anyone to burst their dreams until we get them on the pitch.
Watched them against West Ham and Brighton yesterday and despite what the media roll out they are decent but not outstanding.
I so want city to do the damage in league and cups, only reason I don't want them in a final is the media will spin it to plucky losers.

You’ve got to be kidding Odd Socks. I’m sure people said the same against us when we beat Brentford and Everton - “don’t look anything special”. Truth is they are a fantastic team and the only one that scares me and are capable of beating us at the Etihad.
We need them to drop points wherever and whenever, not picking and choosing

Ham fisted? How very dare you!

Those of us of a certain age, and a certain religious bent, had to learn the catechism off by heart. But, some of us were far more interested in following football and our true religion - all we ever needed to know was that, on the eighth day, God created Manchester City. (Why he saw fit to torture us for the best part of 40 years, I'm not sure, but, as I mentioned 'our kid' earlier, I blame him!)

I grew up going to chapel every Sunday, until I was 11 or 12, and I was allowed to make my own choice, as to whether I went or not.

I chose not.
