The History Board - 1892 to 1994 / Re: On this day in LFC History: Personal Memories
« Last post by Crosby Nick on Today at 10:10:46 am »1990 - I was fortunate enough to be there to see us win it, taking it all for granted as an 12 year old.
2001 - I think a young Kirkland had a stormer for them. Far Mac confirmed their relegation with his late free kick.2007 was one of those line ups Rafa picked between big European games.Think he did the same at Fulham which helped them stay up ahead of Warnock’s Sheffield United.
2012 - Suarez and Norwich, what a combination!
2015 - no recollection!
2016 - this k their mad celebrations woukd us up a bit. Blew them away in the second leg.
2018 - think we had a k in it wobble that meant taking CL qualification to the final day..

« Last post by Jwils21 on Today at 10:09:52 am »The grounds (not just Anfield) are increasingly full of moaners, tourists or, more and more, chinged-up wannabe hard lads.
Add “influencers” and “social media personalities” to that list too.
That American kid ishowspeed has so far been gifted tickets to the Ballon D’or ceremony (where he was introduced to a load of players he didn’t know, and was shouting and attention seeking during the awards), the City v Real game at the Etihad (where he was sat in the City end but cheering and attention seeking when Real scored) and to a United game to meet his “hero” Ronaldo.
He knows absolutely nothing about football aside from his opinions gathered through playing FIFA, yet he gets opportunities most real fans would kill for and rather than appreciate them he uses them as opportunities for more attention seeking “content”.
Look at some of the absolute dickheads invited to Anfield in recent years too, and worse the finals on corporate packages. Streamers who claim to be LFC fans but have a history of working with the rag.
It’s easy to say “ignore them”, but they are out there and in the world of banter culture they become the barometer for what fans are feeling, even though they don’t represent 99% of us. It’s not just us, Mark Goldbridge will say something daft and that then becomes “haha united fans believe this, they are so deluded”

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: The Title Race 2023/24- Jurgen's Last Dance
« Last post by kaesarsosei on Today at 10:09:47 am »It is entirely plausible that Tottenham and Man Utd could beat Arsenal in their home games, meaning that Arsenal end up with 83 points, which we still have a shout at beating. I think it's pretty much impossible that Man City will end up with less points than that, but stranger things have happened in the league.
Stranger things have happened you say, have they though? If we won the league from here it would almost certainly be the most unlikely, unprecedented title win in the history of top flight football anywhere in Europe.
I mean there's optimism, but come on.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *
« Last post by kvarmeismydad on Today at 10:08:39 am »Salah arrived pissed off. In the build up as the team entered the stadium he had a face like thunder. He wasn't selected on form and you could argue that was fair.
He's probably been fuming all day for being left out of the team. As he and the others were about to come on Klopp went for a handshake and hug with the three of them but Salah walked around the back of the official and bent down to play with his socks. Klopp was left hanging. It could have been on purpose as he was still in a strop or it could have been by accident as the official was in the way.
Either way Klopp seemed to have took it as him still being in a strop and they exchanged words.
Salah left the building still in a strop.
He expects to play every single minute as he has so much belief in himself. As he gets older he has to respect that the club might see him as needing a rest. He probably doesn't see it as he doesn't feel it and sees that there's only 4 games to go.
The issue this clearly shows us for future seasons is that he'll not blend quietly on and off the bench as he gets older to get the best out of him. He will believe he can and should always play.
The fact that he wasn't voted into the leadership group on a number of occasions until the last round of votes shows you that his colleagues don't see him as a leader, despite him single handedly leading us to many many wins over the years on the pitch. I'm speculating but I'm guessing that is because he is so single minded and driven that he shows at times that he's not always thinking about the group.
Arne Slot will need to establish himself and gain respect and trust within this group. He needs players to run for him and that requires the team to believe in it and the direction of the teams future.
How much respect with Slot get from Salah if he rests him one game or subs him. I suspect it will be less than Klopp. You don't want Slot being undermined and losing the dressing room.
They need a good chat about it and to make sure he's committed to the cause of helping him be successful by dealing with these types of situations better or, he might need to part ways.
It'll be a nightmare to lose such a goal machine and goal creater and he's been outstanding all these years for us. Players always have to leave at some point and if it's this year then wow what an unbelievable record he has achieved here. He's to be celebrated and thanked and he needs to walk out the front door with love rather than the back door in some sort of transfer fall out.
