Just caught the first Real goal
oh my
he really is done for
mark Lawrenson also noted that no Liverpool players went over to console him afterwards - it was the Real players and the Liverpool backroom staff.
See that’s the trouble signing mercenary wankers, they only think about themselves
You’ll never walk alone eh.
Sung to Karius…
You’ll Never Walk (in Liverpool) Alone (if you know what’s good for you)
I did actually want Liverpool to win, and voted that way in the poll. I have to admit, I was halfway through yesterday and reconsidering my choice. Dunno about you, @nottarf-krap , but I live next to a pub, and the noise was close to unbearable. Fuck this nonsense about everyone gravitating toward estuary English accents. If my ears are to be believed, the accent is getting broader with each generation and there was a time when I really didn’t think that possible.
For those that don’t live in Liverpool, the myth, largely that there is only one squeaky scouse accent, largely propogated by Brookside, is just that.
The current crop are pyar drawl-----lers, like.
They shut up when the game started, and apart from Mane’s goal, were pretty silent for the rest of the evening.
Thanks Phil, had to nick that and put some Sotonians geeky meme spin on it.
Have to admit some pleasure in watching collecting his runner up medal. Thoroughly dejected. Beautiful.
…and now like The Holy Grail Black Knight the Scousers are trying to call it a draw…if you take away the GK errors. Comedy Gold whichever way you look at it. 
Thankfully i live 10 minutes walk away from the nearest pub, (20 minutes on the way home), so i didn’t have to put up with any noise. I was in the Royal Standard on Leyfield Road until about 6 pm, by which time it was absolutely rammed so i strolled back down Deysbrook Lane to watch the game at home. With some prawn sandwiches and a few bottles of ale. Very civilised i am!
Something you have in common with Benzema’s outstep.
Bwhahahaha…that is really desperate. The foul was intentional but the injury was just ahh…lucky.
Oops.
That’s gonna make a lot of petition signers feel silly
So, apparently, Karius suffered a confusion in the CL final
Liverpool players are getting stick for not supporting Karius, and that is correct.
However, you have to remember that half their team used to be ours, and would often have to say “Fuck sake, Kelv”, “Fuck sake, Paolo”, or “Fuck sake, Fraser”.
The whole team had spent some time saying “Fuck sake, Mignolet”.
All I’m saying is that sympathy for goalkeepers _might not _be at an all time high, and none of them boys dropped the clanger Karius did. None of the football pundits I’ve listened to this week can remember a goal like it. At best, it’s a half believed Sunday League memoir served up by a pissed up former keeper, who also regales you with tales of how he had “trials at Yeovil”.
Karius _did _walk alone, but only for a bit, and you can understand why. Lallana took awhile to consider the full impact on his Nivea contract, wondering how his “infinitely shitter than Mo Salah” display would have gone down on the world stage. VVD realised he’d be off the megaclubs’ radar, and would have to play for Liverpool for another season. Near all the defectors looked briefly within themselves, considered their agitations for transfers, and wondered if they were being punished. They silently concluded the answer was “yes”.
The sole ex-Saint exception was Lovren. He was simply delighted that someone had fucked up more than him.
