    Is that the Community Shield at the bottom at the stairs?
    Lining up the trophies like that shows how little he actually won in 9 years. 

    Or that he won the fcuking lot. 

    🤣

    Seen the a few times this season. 

    Very difficult when you get used to getting beat every week. Dropping down a league won't all of a sudden make them competitive. 

    Something needs to happen within the club to break the cycle.  Is there any ambition to improve? Or happy just to exist?

    I would replace happy just to exist with simply relief to have survived to the end (2 games to go) of the season.

    And then there were 2.

    Lolverpool imploding (as ever).

    Let’s be honest there were 2 long before today. Things very much had an end of season feel to them but ultimately bad defending and finishing cost Liverpool again. 3 to go until Jurgen salutes the Kop and off he goes 🧢 into the sunset.

    A lot of really nice grounds, midges can be a problem, especially at Aberfoyle, which I will never go to watch another game at, was unbelievable the night I was there.

    The same Craig. Ended up walking round and round the pitch with my hood up. Dire 🦟.

    The Atalanta drubbing at Anfiled was then beginning of the end for them this season and it’s just tedious viewing now.

    They’ve conceded first in far too many games all season but the FA Cup tie at Old Trafford was the beginning of a disastrous spell of not being able to take numerous chances and poor defending. 

    Jota’s injury at Brentford in a 4-1 win proved to be very costly as with Salah away to AFCON he had brilliantly filled that void. Mo seems to have come back from that injury a yard slower and only a proper pre-season and getting trust back in his hamstring can save his top level career.

    Not very random but my season ticket doesn't do much work these days. Anyhoo, a superb evening in the Sneck and a fine opporchancity for fetching out the drone.

    If intentional, I appreciate the little background touches in your shots.  The Seaforth Docks end of that freight line loomed large over yesterday's pre-match walk on Crosby Beach.  If not, still great photos.

    Was my - pretty amateur lol - attempts at getting a background in at what is really just a collection of pitches @Red Kite. Was lucky with that train coming past at the right time ! 

  8. Earlston Rhymers 5-5 Chirnside (3-2 HT) @ Gordon Community Sports Field 🌱. Border Amateur Division A. Incredible game which ended 10 v 9 all for 2 yellows 🟡🔴. The visitors came back from 4-2 down to lead 5-4 before Earlston equalised with an injury time free kick 🚀. Crowd 64.

  9. Civil Service Strollers 1-0 Gretna 2008 (1-0 HT) @ Christie Gillies Park 🌱. 7.45pm. Lowland League. A goal ⚽️ on 35 minutes proved to be the difference. The narrow loss keeps Gretna ahead of Edinburgh Uni on goal difference ahead of their final day game 💥 on Saturday. Crowd 76.

  10. University of Stirling 0-2 Heriot-Watt University (0-2 HT)… Queens Park Shield Final 🏆 @ John Brydson Arena 🌱. 10.04.24. 2pm. Great final between 2 top sides. HW on top in the 1st half and scored twice. An excellent defensive display, ending with 10 🔴, saw it out. Crowd 195.

  11. Manchester United 2-2 Liverpool (0-1 HT) @ Old Trafford 🌱. Premier League. 3.30pm. Back to M16 for the 2nd time in a few weeks and once again the visitors somehow 🫣 fail to win. In the end Salah rescued a late point. Diaz, Fernandes 🚀 and Mainoo also on target. Crowd 73,523.

    It’s the case for their entire squad tbh. Probably not quite as much this season but they’ve always heavily prioritised the starting XI at the cost of having a bench full of jobbers for most of Klopp’s time there. No excuse for a club like Liverpool to have such substandard backups.

    If that’s the way they want to go then fair enough but it makes his whining about the number of games his players are “forced” to play intolerable. He doesn’t rotate because he’s made the choice to have a shite second team.

    Trying to operate within FFP / keep players happy etc with players less involved needing to accept that making it tricky. 

    I’d argue his squad depth has never been better especially with 3/4 talented kids making the step up. Then again 4 years ago his squad won the Premier League with 7 games to go and 2 years ago managed every game possible across all 4 competitions.

    The peak decade of the EPL for me was around 1992-2002. 


    Some of the players during that time across so many clubs were absolutely incredible. 

    Zola, Bergkamp, Henry, Pires, Beckham, Giggs, Van Nistelroy, Ronaldo, Scholes, Yorke, Collymore, Fowler, Owen, Shearer. The list goes on.


    The Arsenal of that period I believe would piss all over today’s squad. 

    Same with Manchester United. Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa, Blackburn and even Everton all had significant quality.

    Even teams like Sheffield Wednesday had Di Canio and Carbone.

    I think that period was certainly more competitive across the league. Plus the FA cup still had status in the game.

     
     

    Now it’s just an afterthought as a tournament.

    I’m not so sure - there has been an English team in the Champions League final in 5 of the last 6 seasons - 2 in 2021 and 3 different winners. 

    Man City and Liverpool have posted points totals never seen in English football before. 

    I would also argue the FA Cup has regained status. The League Cup certainly has.
