I saw a lot of comments about the Spurs kit they wore against City.
Its got nothing on this kit Arsenal are wearing tonight, proper assault on my vision!
1.) 05 Dec 2023 21:45:54
I'm somewhat distracted by Raya committing crimes against goalkeeping.
We complained about Caoimhin, but I'm pretty sure he's better than both Arsenal goalies.
2.) 05 Dec 2023 22:40:24
SR, me too. That kit is the absolute worst of th worst. As for Arsenal, This GK disaster that Arteta has created is going to cost him dearly, IMO. If Kellerher conceded goals the way Raya deed, I would be fuming as that is just wretched goal-keeping at a fundamental level. And like you, I would want nothing to do with both Raya and Ramsdale at LFC either.
As for Kellerher, I never complained about Kellerher cos to me, he just got unlucky with the first 2 goals esp. since we did not defent both phases of play well at all. The first one, goes thru his legs which happnes to every GK and that includes Alisson cos he has conceded such goals several times in the past yet nobody says a word.
The second one again, poor defending on the corner and the ball rocochets off two players and the bounce on Tettey's flick wrong fotted him even tho, Keller got a foot on it, it wasn (t enuff. Again, unlucky. Hope he does better vs Sheff. Utd.

Football genius Arteta. His solution to having an over-rated dodgy keeper is buy ANOTHER over-rated dodgy keeper.
Can't wait for him to sign Onana from United next year and have a three way rotation of over-rated dodgy keepers.
4.) 06 Dec 2023 06:56:47
5 points clear at the top, pretty good with an overrated dodgy keeper.
5.) 06 Dec 2023 07:02:19
A see that haaland is going to escape punishment for his outburst on Sun regards Simon hooper pep says its human nature but its not where can you behave like that and think its OK 1st Mr hooper should have either yellow carded them all or red card the most aggressive one some of them need to grow a set and deal with it do you see a referee shout in a players face for missing a sitter no so why do they think its OK to do such fair enough it may have been a mistake that happen but vergil got done so why not haaland me I'd give him a decent haircut his hair is longer than my wife's. In all fairness I though when greasing recieved the ball from haaland the linesman in his headset was saying to the referee offside so maybe that's why the free kick was given is that possible.
6.) 06 Dec 2023 08:32:11
Mr Bean, so? Is that the best you could do in terms of banter? This may be foreign to you but multiple things can be correct at the same time.
Them being 5 points clear (with one more game played) does not remove from the fact that they have a GK debacle on their hands with two "over-rated disasters" at the GK position who I would not want starting ahead of Kellerher, let alone AB1. Do better, mate. Life isn't that binary.
7.) 06 Dec 2023 09:38:53
It’s a fact, it’s not banter?
8.) 06 Dec 2023 09:48:44
Stop making excuses for Kellerher, he ballsed up simple as that. He's a good goalkeeper just had an off day, hopefully it's out of his system now and can move on.
9.) 06 Dec 2023 11:25:32
Arsenal have been grinding results whilst not being great which is an important thing for title challengers to do.
However not having a great keeper will cost them. I really believe you need a top class keeper to win the league.
Also Artetas over complication of tactics and trying to shoehorn Havertz into that team when he is not needed will be costly.
24 Sep 2023 16:09:36
Liverpool continue their march towards a mid table finish. ?.
1.) 24 Sep 2023 16:24:42
Couldn’t be there today but excellent win ?.
2.) 24 Sep 2023 16:25:18
You're pushing it a bit. We've been extremely lucky to be where we are now. All those VAR calls in our favor. It's definitely downhill from here; after all how can lucky can you stay? ?.
3.) 24 Sep 2023 16:35:30
I think the one VAR decision today went against us.
4.) 24 Sep 2023 16:38:57
Another shocking performance and poor result LOL.
5.) 24 Sep 2023 16:53:41
We're closing in on half way to the 36 - 40 points needed to keep us in the league next year.
We just need to ride this out until Klopp and FSG leave. Fingers crossed.
6.) 24 Sep 2023 17:44:31
I hate this System, it always wins. We never should’ve signed any midfielders!
What am I supposed to moan at now? Terrible this.
7.) 24 Sep 2023 17:56:11
Klopp out, fsg out, salah out, Becker out.
8.) 24 Sep 2023 18:11:20
I don’t just want them out.
I want them out-out.
9.) 24 Sep 2023 18:20:20
*??, serious Q, re the penalty awarded to us, the defender as far as I’m aware never got a card, my Q why wasn’t that a red as he was definitely last man when he fouled Mo?
10.) 24 Sep 2023 18:21:19
Semibythesea3, the quicker we stave off relegation, the better.
11.) 24 Sep 2023 18:22:15
LFC08 I must admit, that post got me in stitches esp. the last part, lol.
12.) 24 Sep 2023 18:36:42
I agree Oli, will give Klopp a chance to start building for a top 8 finish by the time his contract is up. ?.
13.) 24 Sep 2023 18:47:11
We are doing well but yet to come up against a stern test. Still have some concerns about the defensive ability in the middle of the park and fragility at the back but time will tell. Defs top 4 finish this year but don’t think we have enough to challenge which is what we should be aiming for.
{Ed025's Note - the evidence proves you wrong Brummy, you have beaten 2 good sides in Newcastle and West Ham and are yet to be beaten mate, if you lose 3 on the bounce then please come back and tell me i was wrong...until then stop all the doom and gloom while you are doing so well..
14.) 24 Sep 2023 19:20:42
Same Newcastle who won 8-0 away today and West Ham The only team to take points off Brighton this season - stop embarrassing yourself.
15.) 24 Sep 2023 19:29:56
The football and results are irrelevant. It's the transfer windows that count and we failed in the summer. January is pointless when we are as skint and frugal as we are.
I'm just waiting for next summer and wealthy Arab owners to come in to get me interested again.
16.) 24 Sep 2023 19:37:44
@Brummy, mate, life’s short, try and get some fun out of it whilst you can.
‘And then I saw his team and I’m a believer, not a trace of doubt in my mind’ to misquote the Monkees.
17.) 24 Sep 2023 19:41:09
Brummyred, really? We're doing this whole "we are yet to come up against a stern test" or "We are yet to play a proper side" schtick again? Seriously, you people need to come up with some new material for your "doom and gloom" naratives cos this one right here, is as worn out and as dusty as heck.
18.) 24 Sep 2023 20:03:11
Damn, you guys are so much better at moaning than I am. I accept the challenge to be far better in future.
19.) 24 Sep 2023 20:04:51
Keep up the good support, Rigsby.
20.) 24 Sep 2023 20:15:08
Just don’t have red tinted glasses. The Newcastle result was a freak game although enjoyed the character all the same. Nothing to do with doom and gloom - enjoying the new look team but it’s not good enough to win the league. Not emotional about it, just a statement.
21.) 24 Sep 2023 20:21:36
I think I'm on the turn, Romey.
Why bother supporting a club with our rich history that currently has one of the best managers in that rich history when the likes of Chelsea are spending like they do and changing their manager more than I change my underbags?
We might be doing ok on the pitch but I'm more interested in shiny new toys, mate.
22.) 24 Sep 2023 20:56:05
Brummy, you think the Newcastle result was a freak reasult? Then I propose you go listen to many of the Newcastle fans who after the game said, LFC deserved to win the game with the tactics and bravery Klopp and his players showed in the game. So are their glasses rose tinted as well or in black and white? Man, miss me with that stuff cos you are trying to degrade what our team achieved on the merits, which I find pathetic.
Now whether we are good enuff to win the title is irrelevant at this point cos it is way too early to tell and nobody is getting emaotional on this thread so whind so again, miss me with that stuff.
We are all just having a laugh and some fun and enjoying the moment. Once again, the whole "We are yet to come up against a stern test" or "We are yet to play a proper side" schtick is tedious and boring now. Give us some new material, is all I ask.
23.) 24 Sep 2023 22:00:59
@Oli, the fella’s just keeping us all grounded mate. You can’t have fun if there aren’t miserable sods. ?.
24.) 25 Sep 2023 00:26:02
We had freak results few years back. Lots of them until the finals. And the finals were one of the freak results as well.
The only results that weren't freak were those when we didn't win.
That's freaky as hell.
25.) 25 Sep 2023 08:39:57
HaizanMSS, is it Freaky Friday today?
21 Sep 2023 21:14:16
Half time full time bets are definitely the way forward this season where it concerns Liverpool. ?.

Ed, do I have permission to post said Peter Beardsley's rap on World In Motion here please?
{Ed033's Note -
When England win the ashes, then you have my permission to post. :)
1.) 04 Aug 2023 11:04:02
Wow that is class. I’ve never heard it before and never want to hear it again ?.
2.) 04 Aug 2023 09:39:47
Semi ??. Thanks for sharing.
Beardsley sounds like if Attenborough and Morgan Freeman had a love child.
Voice of an angel.

Has your account been hacked leek? You never used to post such nonsense in the past. Or am I mistaken?
With regards the new manager, I, like most of is would love to see Alonso.
He’d be given time due to the affiliation the fans have with him. He plays progressive football, Bayer are always looking to play forwards and move up the pitch. The formations he uses would very much suit the players Liverpool have in the squad right now and on top of all of that I think he’ll become a great manager.
Only thing is I would hate for the expectation to be so great that if, for whatever reason, he didn't join, where does that leave the club? I personally like Nagelsmann, has a touch of the Brendan Rodgers about him but I think a very good coach. Outside of those two Im a little lost for candidates that aren't an even bigger gamble.
Certainly going to be a very important summer in the short to medium term for the club.
14 Aug 2023 11:49:29
Love the optimism.

I can't speak for the 80’s but I started supporting Liverpool in the early 90’s when Bruce Grobbelar was Gk and was by then throwing out suspiciously poor performances.
David James followed and Im sure he can't be put down as a particularly great success as he was given the nickname ‘calamity James’ before being replaced by Sander Westerveld. Tony Warner should probably get a mention here as he played a few games when James was injured or particularly out of form.
Westerveld was a decent keeper and had one pretty good season but sadly loss of confidence or something else and he was soon replaced by Jerzy Dudek, who again looked like he could establish himself as first choice for years to come before that performance against Man Utd took not only his confidence but everyone else's in him.
Benitez first brought Chris Kirkland to the club as a young goalie, along with a very young Scott Carson but injuries meant Kirkland just couldn't get a run of games in the first team and one or two dodgy goals conceded did for Carson.
Then we have probably the second best goalkeeper of my time supporting Liverpool. Pepe Reina. Loved Reina, great shot stopper, great facing penalties, surprisingly good command of his area for a goalkeeper on the short side of 6 ft and not bad with his feet.
He was however pretty erratic and had a habit of rushing out of his area when not needed and a penchant for costly errors.
I may be forgetting someone here but I feel that next up is Simon Mignolet who was a good shot stopper and pretty terrible everywhere else as a top level goalkeeper and after him, last, and perhaps least is poor Loris Karius. I don't think much needs to be said about him.
So after that retrospective, Im inclined to agree that at least since the start of the 90’s, all the way up to Alisson, goalkeeper is definitely a position that Liverpool have struggled with. There have been players who have looked capable as number one’s and I think Reina of all of them is the only one who was secure in his spot for more than a season or two at most.
The club should be looking to keep Ali as long as they possibly can.

I have the third kits from the New Balance years, some funky colours in there, love ‘em.
