Ed 006, how'd you enjoy your Coachella weekend? Did you manage to see Sama? After the horror show of trying to get into Yuma on Friday, we had no troubles to get in to see her set. My gf and her friends LOVED her. We went back on Sunday to see Fatboy Slim and oh my word, it was such an amazingly sweaty 1.5hr, I am absolutely knackered today as a result.

st_jacques

{Ed0666's Note - hey mate glad you and you're girl had a good one. I thought the event was thoroughly disorganized but it was another bucket list item realised. Sama wasn’t bad but I thought ANNA, Nixxon and Chris Siebring were better which was ironic as I went to see Sama! I realized her sound is a little bit too trancy for my liking but she will be a massive star. I loved all the Jordanian flags in the sparse crowd tho that made me chuckle. She also was a victim of bad scheduling. 3.15pm??? I saw the lines to Yuma they really did look brutal. We were extremely fortunate to have VIP so we escaped the chaos. To be honest we didn’t go on Sunday as we were so tired from Friday & Saturday. Did you see Harry Stiles or Billy Eilish…? How was your drive back home we got stuck in a 6 hour traffic jam back to LA..now that wasn’t fun. Rest well and enjoy the feast of goals tonight mate.

Day 1 was an absolute shambles. What baffled me was the lack of signage. We were so confused as to where to go for the first half day, especially the with the water fountains. The lineup for YUMA was a joke and made everyone especially made, even more so once you got in and realized how empty it is. I've been to many venues in London with large indoor crowds (printworks, tabacco docks, etc) and they all manage perfectly well so not sure why it's so difficult here.

3:15pm was an odd time but it worked well for us. We stayed for Paco Osuna which was pretty great. Overall, I felt the sound was god awful. They managed to fix it on Sunday it seemed like but I couldn't tell one song from another in her set which was a shame.

Both Friday and Saturday we skipped out early so we watched both Harry and Billie from the comforts of our airbnb and jacuzzi. Sunday was the best day of the lost and I would strongly suggest watching Fred. again's set. He was unbelievable. At the start of the show he had some visuals of the overground passing through Hackney Wick which is my old neck of the woods and it brought a little tear to my eye. It was so unbeliebaly hot I thought i was going to pass out though.

Our drive back on Monday was a nightmare as well - 4.5hrs to LAX and our friends missed their flight back to NY. We managed to get to ours just in the nick of time. I'm glad I went to Coachella but don't think I need to do it again.

{Ed0666's Note - yeh mate I concur with you I won’t be doing Coachella again. It was expensive, amateur organization and plenty of other things to do in life. So you think we’ll do the quad mate???

ahhhh I really hope so. I think we'll get the FA against Chelsea who have seemingly forgotten to defend which was their only saving grace.

I don't follow La Liga so I can't comment on the chances of Real against City in the semi's but I'm hoping for a little Moyes Magic or one of the other road games to trip them up. It would be gut wrenching to finish second by a point only, especially after that awful decision in the Everton game.

All i can do is cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best. What's your thoughts?

Hi ho eds, question for you legends (sorry if it's been asked) . A friend and I were in a chat about Liverpool and Stevie loyalties and where they lay, I mentioned that Stevie was said to be better on the right, rather than the mid (a rather baffling statement to my friend) and there was friction between him in Rafa (or Houllier) but I couldn't explain why he was was deemed best on the right.

Could you give us a run down as to why that is?

st_jacques

{Ed001's Note - because he got so many assists and goals out there, and generally excelled before throwing his toys out of the pram and refusing to play there any longer. It was under Rafa. He was happy to play anywhere for England though.}


1.) 13 Nov 2021 09:54:27
I always forget about Gerrard on the right, if you go through the rafa sides the area that we really lacked quality a lot of the time was out wide. Gerrards delivery, pace and underrated skill would have resolved some of the issues here. Who knows what we could have achieved had he applied himself where the manager wanted.

Just to say, Gerrard dragged us not just through games but seasons when we had some terrible sides and was my favourite player growing up. I think we should all be able to recognise his mistakes despite all he achieved with the club.


2.) 13 Nov 2021 10:25:48
The 05/ 06 season was Gerrard’s best statistical and most productive season as a red where he played on the right with Momo and Alonso in CM.

Rafa wanted him on the right to keep him tactically focused within the structure Rafa was trying to I still BUT SG wasn’t having any of it even tho he was super productive in that role. As Ed said, Gerrard didn’t have issues playing on the left for England, tho. Funny that.

alright, bet's on who is going to be stepping in for Jomez now he's injured?

st_jacques

1.) 11 Nov 2020 15:14:13
Omg. Wtf is happening. I'm starting to think maybe football should have been stopped while the cv19 crisis is still happening. All or players are getting injured.

Joe was looking really good as well. Our hope now is that matip can stay fit. But more worryingly, where does the pace at the back come from? Can we still play with this high line without pace? Worst news possible.


2.) 11 Nov 2020 15:21:55
Matip, Phillips and Williams plus Fabinho. Should (barring no more serious injuries) get us through to jan, but we need a CB! Klopp definitely made a mistake by not signing one in jan.
anyway, we go again after the international break! YNWA!


3.) 11 Nov 2020 15:38:38
Hope its not serious and we can cope until jan. Nobody could of foreseen this kinda crap happening to our back 5. Edwards going to have to pull a masterstroke in january.


4.) 12 Nov 2020 22:35:15
MoretonRed, I disagree. We had 3 CBS with Fab as cover at the 4th spot along with the youngsters. The hindsight stuff is getting boring. If you knew that this injury crisis at CB would happen at the start of the season then, fine. If you didn’t then save the hindsight genius stuff for another day cos looking like a genius after the fact is something nobody cares about right now. We need solutions, not “I told you so” as if you are Nostradamus.

Ed002, I'm off to Tel Aviv in about a month. Care to share this world beating cocktail bar you're off to so I too can enjoy their tequilas? I'm a big fan of the Fortaleza Blanco Tequila which I first had when I was in Cali last year. I could drink that all day.

Can we all just take a moment to enjoy this from Ed;

'When fit he was exceptional alongside VVD and they were the best defensive pairing in Europe. '

2/ 3 seasons ago, our defence was so leaky that it would give a siv a run for its money. Did we ever in our wildest of dreams imagine that our beloved Liverpool would have THE best pairing in EUROPE?!? It is staggering just how impressive VVD has been and we must pinch ourselves at the fact a young kid sits alongside him and is just as marvellous to watch.

No matter how the season ends this year, we must appreciate what we do have. After-all, at least we're not everton fans amirite?

Keep up the good work eds! apologies for the sidetrack.

{Ed001's Note - good point mate.}

Waqas, definitely check out Kezar Pub in Haight/ Cole Valley. It is THE spot to watch every liverpool match. You'll need to get there early when doors open (aroun 7am I think? ) as it gets rammped. Easily the best atmosphere you'll find in SF. It's conveniently a block from me so it's an easy trek but totally worth coming from Oakland. Also, give there buffalo wings a try! They are some of the best in town.

I'm currently on the hunt for a pub in Sorrento for tonights match and managed to find a spot for the FA Cup final when we'll in Tuscany.

No matter where we are in the world, we'll always find a way to watch. YNWA.

Ed, I think she'll have an hour and a half (thankfully) . The YUMA tent will have a proper set, whilst Sahara will probably have hour long slots only. I wouldn't be surprised to see the line up as Paco Osuna > Sama > ANNA > Chris Liebling > Richie Hawtin > Dixon to finish the night off. Pretty stacked Saturday if you ask me (although I'm not a richie hawtin fan)!

Hope to see you around the paddock. Look out for a dashing 6 foot 4 inch thunder from down under with some denim cut offs and a floral shirt to channel my inner Murray Bartlett (for all you White Lotus fans) .

st_jacques

{Ed0666's Note - Mate you’re hilarious! You already know what you’re wearing 😂….Me & my wife have never been to Coachella and are convinced we’re gonna be the oldest people there…see you at the paddock wherever that is mate 😂
