RE: Liverpool FC
Liverpool could meet Barcelona in the semis(draw was made for that last time) but I would be very surprised if they lost to Man Utd tonight. Biggest surprise Spurs beating Man City! Still think our back four need to tighten up, gave Porto's strikers too many chances which thankfully never came off. Second leg will be interesting, do we attack and go for more goals or let them run like madmen and then get them on the counter.?

RE: Liverpool FC
As you know tomorrow is the 30th Anniversary of Hillsborough with the on-going saga of who should take the blame it doesn't get any easier. Take a moment to reflect at 3.15pm tomorrow and remember the 96(yes they say 95 because the last person died some time later) I shall wear my commemorative wristband with pride(as I always do) and stand in silence to remember.
It doesn't look like Palace are going to do us any favours at the moment with City 1-0 up coming up to the second half of the game shortly, so today's game it will be a massive game for us AND for Chelsea. Someone on 606(5live) reckoned that Barcelona are a "bang average" team now and that Liverpool would beat them easily-oh really? I am not so sure that is true, especially with Messi and Suarez who can have off games but at home they will be deadly against Man Utd and equally against us(should we beat Porto of course) I would wait and see what happens with Man Utd first; I fully expect Barcelona to beat Man Utd and Liverpool should beat Porto, so that huge game will be a massive night at Anfield.

RE: Liverpool FC
This is edge-of-the-seat stuff. We know that Chelsea are a good side but with all the possession Liverpool have had, they've got nothing to show for it. Maybe the second half will be different. It's going to have to be because City lead by a point and 3 here would lift us past them again. Why the smeg are they bringing up something that happened 5 years ago(yes we all know that Gerrard slipped, not on the ball, but by it allowing Chelsea to score) but why dredge that up now-what is it about broadcasters/journalists that they have to always put the mockers on Liverpool, especially at this crucial stage of the season? Really annoying. BTW impeccable one minute silence observed by ALL fans.

RE: Liverpool FC
GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL Sadio Mané scores 1-0 to the Pool!!
GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL Mo Salah scores 2-0 to the Pool!!
Final Score Liverpool 2-Chelsea 0 and it sounded like Salah's goal was an absolute rip-snorter! Can't wait for Match of the Day 2 tonight to see it.

RE: Liverpool FC
Love that boxing style celebration that Klopp does-so much more animated than any other Liverpool manager of the past. He really wears his heart on his sleeve.
If you'll indulge me a memory or two:
Today we remember the 96 people that lost their lives in that tragedy that occurred in Hillsborough, Sheffield on 15th April, 1989 a day that is as vivid to me now as it was then. I remember watching Grandstand and Desmond Lynam crossed live to commentator John Motson who was in the dark at the time as to what was happening. We saw scenes of people being lifted up high into the stands by other fans and at first I thought there had been fighting or violence happening but then it began to unfold, the devastating incident that had taken place and the people that had been caught in the crush thanks to a gate being opened and hundreds of fans streaming in. The place was never going to be big enough to hold that amount of supporters; warnings had been issued months before.
Supporters were taking hoardings off and using them as stretchers but the ambulances had been held up outside the ground and arrived too late for some. Later the Sun newspaper wrote some terrible lies (including stealing from other supporters' pockets) about what had happened and no wonder they were/are persona non grata in Liverpool even today. A catalogue of mistakes could have prevented this tragedy, and much later it was discovered that over 100 police statements had been changed and thus all the blame was laid at the supporters, which affected the whole of Liverpool. Many years later, thanks to Andy Burnham(a self-confessed Evertonian) persuaded Tony Blair to open an inquiry into what really happened. He wanted answers and was determined to get to the bottom of it. On the 25th Anniversary he was invited to speak at Anfield and promised not to rest until someone was brough to justice.
A few years after that all the blame that had been placed on Liverpool was found to be fabricated and Liverpool was finally vindicated of any blame. Even though I am a Londoner I've been a Liverpool supporter since 1977 and I am proud to remember the 96 today. I even got to Anfield and did a tour with my friend for my 40th birthday present and met some friends I'd made on Friends Reunited-they made me an honorary Scouser which I was happy to accept( I do a pretty good Scouse accent lah!) and I got to see the trophies, the museum and get my picture taken (and indeed touch it) in front of the famous sign THIS IS ANFIELD Today and forever Y.N.W.A.

RE: Liverpool FC
On a lighter note I did laugh when they showed that magnificent goal scored by Salah yesterday. Last night on Match of the Day it showed in the crowd Ian Rush, Sammy Hyppia and Sir Kenny Dalglish-when the goal went, in cue a picture of an applauding Sir Kenny and then being grabbed from behind by an ecstatic Margaret Aspinall(Hillsborough Support Group) half throttling him but it was a hell of a goal so who can blame her.
