    Fair play that was some performance.

    Well done Liverpool and fully deserved.

    Part of me is pleased for them, so to punish myself I am off to watch a re run of this year's check a trade final whilst listening to brexit podcasts.

    That is a spectacular result. To give Barcelona a doing with that deficit is impressive enough, but with key players missing is even more of an achievement. Amazing.

    Incredible, fair play to the Scousers.

    At least we're not the most memorable moment in Divock Origi's career anymore too.

    Have to say well done Liverpool, that was an incredible result. Yes, Barça were right off it tonight but even so, some great goals and amazing passion. Huge props to TAA for fooling Piquet and co with that corner.

    Oh, and come on Ajax!

    When you compare Mourinho to Klopp, you can see why he so well liked.
    Comes across like a real fan, as well as a manager. Talks like he's in the pub!

    The La Liga Empire, just like the Serie A before, has come to its end. Its three leading clubs really need to rebuild, and whether that is with good young talent within their academies or buying at the top end of the market, we shall have to wait and see. As I see, maybe 3 or 4 players will be plucked from Ajax, but what other clubs are there available for plundering. Liverpool won´t sell, Tottenham will. Dortmund always sell. As for top Spanish talent, that is not too plentiful at the moment so expect to see French and Portuguese clubs raided.

    Had to check to see if he scored against Cardiff.

    And what do you know, he didn't...

    ...but Michy Batshuayi did!!

    Has Benteke scored against anyone in the past 12 months? If not he is ripe for a loan move somewhere. Maybe JWP slinging in those deadly crosses for a rejuvenated Benteke to put away. If anyone can get the best out of him, why shouldn´t it be Ralph.

    Benny looks a shadow of the player he was at Villa. £100K a week, no thank you.....we have enough to sort out already!

    Got a feeling there's more twists to come this season.

    Spurs to win?

    Brighton to deny Man City?

    Yeah, I understand why the demonstrativeness puts some off, but it's never seemed anything short of genuine. He's just a very excitable and moderately deranged man who likes football very much, and his players seem to love him for it.

    Personally, klopp just ****ing irritates me and I just want to punch him.

    This was pre-Liverpool, too. Just the first of person who would wind me up in real life.
