Its the Jude Bellingham love in on the BT postmatch show.

Saying Dortmund and he were really hard done to.

They always praise the foreign team against us.

Glad I pay them nothing.

Just for one minute can we think that they are possibly just excited by a talented English lad with the euros coming up?

They talked about him and foden a lot as definite starters for the euros and what they both bring to the table.

Now Breakfast glorifying a photo taken at Anfield taken after Citys match at Chelsea making them impossible to catch.
Lots of glorification, Champions of England and all the Liverpool bingo card. No mention that it was flagrant breaking of the law, putting people's lives at risk and encouraging others to do the same.
Lots of red in the photo from flares and possible touching up but it's a rare historic pic so perhaps it should have sepia tints.
No bus parade though;)

Exactly. To cite just one example, last season against Lyon, most of us thought Pep got his selection wrong and we didn't play well. We were lambasted for that and understandably so.

BUT. We changed things round, levelled the tie up and had got on top, only for them to go ahead again fairly late on thanks to a 'goal' scored owing to a blatant foul. Yet if you tried to look for references to that in the media's gleeful inquests into our demise, you found yourself in needle and haystack territory.

Yes, we got lucky with the disallowed goal decision last night. But we're nowhere near the cliché where such decisions in crucial CL knockout ties have evened themselves out. When no one in the media mentions that but so many of them seem to soil themselves in outrage about last night, fuck them.

I mean there was about 4 dodgy decisions in the Liverpool games a few years back to begin with

Mike Wedderburn on form this morning. Previewing the Liverpool/Villa game this weekend, he asked if people remembered what happened when they last met, and ended with "Liverpool had VVD in central defence that day". The Echo will be inundated with angry letters!

Your last line is wrong, blue, they’ve already announced the route:

I remember a few in the media claiming we were outplayed by Monaco in a six all draw.

 

[A590 blues]

Still could have done with a "Bayern are killing football" quote to really get the ball rolling for the piss boiling.

Jenas wasn't that bad tonight, he actually thought City played well. Darke on the other hand is a right cnut

I thought the studio team were good tonight pre match.
Jenus always sounds on a downer butt on Fooking Darke what a complete and utter tool.
He shouted "That's a dagger through Citys Heart " when they scored and you could tell he was joyful.
Multiple views of both incidents both viewed 100% in Dortmunds favour.
Only update on Dippers game was when they scored.
Stick to boxing you dias tiresome little man.
Embarrassing

The Spurs game in the CL, that decision was hammered across the media. There have probably been countless decisions for and against British clubs that get that amount of outrage, but unless it's your club you just don't hear it, because there is no vested interest.

The ref last night is being panned all over, and rightly so.

Really?...The media I read said they were the correct decisions, we're you reading a Tarquins fanzine? The ref was panned after the commentary team had the convenience of countless replays. The ref was also criticised for having the courage to overturn his original penalty decision, we've seen a number who didnt. The Ederson decision wouldn't even have been questioned but for the cameras.

Not only outplayed but 'well beaten'. Baffling.
