For context and for those who don't remember or are new to supporting this fair club, we played an Austrian 3rd division side called ATV Irdning in pre-season 2018 and beat them 22-0 (TWENTY TWO GOALS TO NIL). Sandro, an attacker, played about 80...
He basically made it impossible for me to judge goalkeepers for a long time because I couldn’t get my head around them spilling stuff because it never happened with Nev. Martyn was a great goalkeeper too as is Pickford. But Nev was next level...
Yeah me too. I saw him in Marseille last weekend and am doing Milan x2. I reckon that takes me to 25ishx since the 90s. One of the chaps who I go with has seen him over 50x.
Wasting time? Did you actually watch the concert?
For a 75 year old he plays like a man possessed, a legend who doesn't need to sing Liverpool songs to be popular.
I actually respect them for making the right decision. It would have been easy for a long-awaited pot to paper over the massive cracks that were evident in every other competition, but they were ruthless and made the call.
They were so abjectly...
My brother is one of them. They are like train spotters. They all gather at venue two days before and a clipboard nazi gives them a number, then they all return every few hours for a roll call, so they don't lose their place. It's nuts. He did...
Saw him last summer mate, seen him a good few times over the years, he’s slowing down a lot on my opinion, he still does crazy sets - but I found he’s doing less in them himself and it’s nearly 80% of the band, still a top performer and he’s an...
I love Springsteen but his concerts have been ruined by that massive 'golden circle' top price ticket area that gets bigger every tour. Full of well-off ageing fanatics and kills any atmosphere

We are very lucky that this guy appears to be content with us and hasn't apparently agitated for a move.
Most players of his quality would want CL and big wages.
He has been immense for us in very difficult times.
We let him be a massive Sunderland fan with no flak whilst being our most important player. And we saw him through his “eccentric” growth years with no aggro. And he’s utterly mad. Perfect match. Am sure he wants to achieve everything he can...
In hindsight, my CD collection was a complete and utter waste of money with no resale value. I guess I had some good times playing them all, but yeah, long live the vinyl revival.
