Great Klopp article this:

Maybe I Am Dreaming | By Jürgen Klopp

For me, football is the only thing more inspiring than the cinema. You wake up in the morning, and the magic was all real. You actually knocked down Drago. It really happened.

www.theplayerstribune.com

They’re looking at me like, What in the world is this crazy man talking about?

So then I realised, Wait, when did Rocky IV come out, 1980-something? When were these boys born?

Finally, I said, “Wait a minute, boys. Please raise your hand if you know who is Rocky Balboa?”

Only two hands went up. Sebastian Kehl and Patrick Owomoyela.

Everyone else, “Nope, sorry, boss.”

My entire speech — nonsense! This is the most important match of the season. Maybe the most important match of some of the players’ lives. And the manager has been screaming about Soviet technology and Siberia for the last 10 minutes! Hahahaha! Can you believe this?

Listened to a good prog here today on our "jammy cunts" season which considers the mega-stats to whether Citeh would be on top if we weren't so lucky and they hadn't been so unlucky or thereabouts Great little one for bitter lemons.

Agueeerooooooo.... Oh!

 

[Badgers]

Nice gift from the mighty Palace #secondteam today. Although Stones and Sterling contributed a lot too

Would be very pleasing to beat the other half of Manchester tomorrow and grab another 3 points with a game in hand up our sleeve.

Pre-United stats: Goal runs, potential landmarks and super subs

www.liverpoolfc.com

A goal would see the Reds score in each of their opening 22 games of a league campaign for the first time.

Liverpool's next victory will be the club's 150th in all competitions under Klopp, with this being his 244th fixture in charge.

Sadio Mane's next goal will be the 100th of his career for an English club.

A win in this game would give Liverpool a 13th successive league victory, their second-longest sequence ever. They set the club record of 17 last year, from March to October, before United picked up a point at Old Trafford.

Plus each victory from now beats the record (already ours) for most points from X games in any if the top leagues in the modern era. Which is nice.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Ultimately though records don't matter aside from changing the 18 to 19.

Rashford is not with the Utd squad ahead of tomorrow's game against Liverpool

 

[Steel Icarus]

Please tell me Lingard is.

Dead cert to start then.

 

[Badgers]

If Liverpool win today they will be 30 points clear of Utd after playing 22 games

I don't blame the people who make or sell them, it's the weirdos who buy them that need to have a look at themselves.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I can see it with European matches or teams with links to yours, but actual historical rivals? No mate

 

[Voley]

Looking forward to this afternoon. And enjoyed the firm-but-fair tackles from Skrtel in that clip from Badgers above.
