Against the bin dippers? Not a hope in hell, I predict a 5-0 loss with Rush getting a hat-trick

I missed that one. But I was there for the one on TV.

I saw the home game v them, would have been around that year. On a Friday night I recall, Danny Wallace scored a worldly.

Yay, we beat the shite 1-0, Steve Moran in the 88th minute. Great to see old those old faces, Bally, Channon, Steve Williams, Keegan, Nicky Holmes, Chris Nichol, David Armstrong.

I was stood in The Kop with 2 mates and luckily the goal was scored at the Anfield Rd End.

With hands firmly in pockets and best poker face, I had to suppress screaming and instead listen to comment like “That wasn’t smash and grab. They never fucking smashed.”

In 2015, a couple of years after I moved up to Liverpool I went to see the Saints game, a good mate has the Anfield guest house opposite the ground and always has a few season tickets, he makes a fortune, mostly from Scandinavians who he does a weekend package for. He gave me a ring a few days before, inviting me to the game as his guest with a group of about a dozen well fueled Scandi fanatical Reds. Of course within five minutes of taking my seat he made sure that everyone within earshot knew that I was a Saint. Lot’s of good-natured banter of course. After a piss poor game Christian Benteke scored with about 15 minutes left, I had to sit there and take it! But with a couple of minutes to go Sadio Mane scored an equalizer. They were sat in stunned silence with me on my feet really letting them have it, fuck it, I was in safe company! It was an absolutely magical moment. Bizarrely, Mane then collected two bookings and was sent off in injury time. Plenty of ale was drunk that night, to be fair they were a great bunch. Klopp bought Mane, the following year I think.

After we had beaten them 3-2 after being 2 down. Mane scored 2 and Klopp was hugging him as they came off the pitch. No tapping up of course, but he didn’t need to fly secretly to Blackpool like a certain other player that day.

More likely it was because he was shit.

“But Manchester United, Southampton and Arsenal do not currently pay that rate to all their caterers, cleaners and stewards.”

Will the Scousers now shut the fuck up about Hillsborough?
