I don’t usually post this much in the match thread, but I’m hiding behind my phone.

The space he had then!!! All the time in the world. Chriiiiist.

I’ve done it yet again. I got excited for this game after somehow convincing myself that we’ll be better. It took about 2 minutes to remember how shit we are.

McGinn. I hate the fact I’m starting to dislike him.

Pfft, I stopped listening to “experts”.

Only 2 now!

We are poo. Really really poo.

I must have the memory of a goldfish. Before every game I’m sure we’ll be better.

Hmm I don’t think so, but I do pull my belt up over my chin.

My 3 year old son just pointed at a photo of me and said “oh look…Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall”.

...that you, dad?

Cheap sausages > posh sausages

I couldn’t watch the game, but that was awful.

This tickled me.

My 96 year old Grandad has been in hospital since June, initially with covid but now with other complications. I was finally able to visit him this evening. I walked in and was shocked by how small he was and then he spoke and I couldn’t believe how weak he sounded. My mom had made him a little picnic - some sandwiches and a few pieces of cake. I watched him eat and saw the crumbs fall on his chest and the way he was sipping orange squash from the hospital cup; it reminded me of my toddler. I started imagining him as a little boy, thinking of him with his mom, dad and siblings, all of them now gone. I then thought of him now, lying in this bed for 3 months and how lonely he must have been. My Nan died last August, they’d been married 73 years. He must miss her like crazy. I was glad I could hide slightly behind my mask, because I was starting to well up. …but then he farted really loudly so I was fine after that. Still thankful for the mask but for different reasons.

Never heard of her. I’m guessing she was the bassist of some 1960s country music group or something?

Why, what had she done?

@Baselayers and @villaajax

I remember a random bag search at school. All they found in mine was a sandwich I knew had been going mouldy in there for a few months. Green it was. (Obscure reference there)

Well, I’m enjoying this game more than I thought I would at least

I think the kit looks really smart. At least we’ll look alright whilst getting smashed.

Exactly. You get that all the time on here, but you don't get paid anything for it!

I feel like there wasn't too much wrong when Smith was rightly replaced, he'd taken us as far as he could and we needed someone capable of taking us further. Instead, it seems Gerrard's come in and rocked the boat, tried to fix things that weren't broken, just to put his own mark on things. It was completely the wrong appointment, he was never capable of taking us further. We've gone backwards and we're much more disjointed than we were, on and off the pitch. That's my simple little assessment anyway.

Jumping in a cold shower after running in the heat.

Oh yeah, that's really odd.
