Back again 2nd season covering Liverpool Football Club's matches. This time we're starting in pre season with a Merseyside Derby against Tranmere Rovers! The season starts with Arsenal away...
Probably no poems this time (busy year), hopefully the p...
Have I passed out and made all that up or summat?! That was fucking awesome.
89,845 watching the Reds at Anfield South. It's the second largest crowd in the history of the new Wembley!
I saw someone say when Suarez scores they're counting it as a goal for us and I was like yeah I'm gonna do that too, tried to work out how to display that up there ^ no need, didn't score wtf?!
Studge is injured AGHHH FFS day ruined, season ruined etc, apparently not... Dad said Sturridge going into acting on Causulty and I said least I'll see him every week (that's not even true, they cut Casualty off for everything like the bloody Olympics)
I was really excited to John Arne Risse's half time talk, had to change to Sky Sports and missed it for Carra finally praising Lallana.
I was there when Messi was shit! :D AND We just won them with 10 men. (Don't take this post too seriously, I'm having fun)
Commentators said something about Barca's manager wearing a grey t shirt and faded jeans HIPSTER! He's a HIPSTER! Plus he has really similar face features to Mourinho when he's not looking happy. Seriously though he coulda sat in the stands and you'd have no idea it was him, that's taking casual too far. Does he not like any of Barca's merch this season?
MotM- Simon Mignolet AND Sadio Mane
Hard pick cos everyone played so well but omg Mignolet you just saved against Suarez and Messi and whoever else I couldn't have been prouder of him today, Mane 30 seconds in, he's so fucking fast, I swear everyone was like 10x faster than I've seen them before today.
30 seconds in and we've got a shot that was just wide. WOAH we've only just come back from adverts, give us a minute to play attention!!! I was shocked by that start and we just kept going and going with it.
At that point I realised who Ter Stagen is, who would waist electronic ink on linking him to us, not gonna happen even if we didn't already have our shiny new goalie. (I dunno why I keep calling him shiny) almost as much of a waste as the Echo one about how we've not replaced Suarez with like equal talent, duh he's one of the friggin' top dogs!
Firmino looks like the baby fro the Flintstones.
15 minutes Mane AHhe's got his first goal!!! It was more complicated than that one against Man City (the 4-1, one) last season. Lallana bursts from midfield, fastest I've ever seen him run and I don't even know, thought it'd fizzle out but we got a goal! Got some real fist pumps from me and Klopp.
Around 20 minutes my stream went to error and missed most of Messi's attempts, apparently he hit the post.
Loved it when Mignolet just threw himself at Suarez's ball and then looked like he was telling him off for trying, any other day that would be in but he's picked up skills from somewhere, had those confidence classes etc. Probably cos he got really good support off his defense today.
Also all the really physical just shoving the person trying to tackle out the way, sending them flying without fouling, that was amazing to watch.
And then Milner's off :/ Yeah, we really, really, REALLY need that new LB now but Moreno did well, of course still had those dreaded "caught out of position" words said about him but it came to nothing.
Suarez, Suarez SUAREZ Told you I'd be like that but actually I wasn't too bothered, still gonna fill the post with feels though. I was sad when he went off even though I'd been like yeah go Suarez then no, no don't, don't score against us I wanna win. I kept thinking he was number 7 still :/

I don't know whether to think that's creepy or love it. Hendo played better against him than Gerrard did in the world cup, y'know didn't straight up pass the ball to him.
His post match tweet- A very special day. Thanks to all the fans for the warmth, today and always. YNWA. Let's keep the hard work
Come back any time you want, mate.

There, take that. We all know what Klopp hugs mean.
Speaking of Hendo, you didn't give me a minute before you started either!!! It's down as an OG as far as I know it was going in regardless so I'm not taking it off Hendo but I didn't see the replay too busy celebrating and yeah I was still celebrating when Origi stepped up, I was trying to send Dad a shocked emoji so I don't think I've seen it at all yet
Mexican waves, I love Mexican waves! Don't tell me you didn't join in.
This time last year, Kevin Stewart was on loan, now he's laying off Origi v Barca at Wembley.He was doing so well, had such a great match.
Lovren went off holding the back of his leg, shit,shit, shit!!! Really hope he just stretched it a bit and it's nothing. There was like a minute left so we played and beat Barcelona with 10 men!
Grujic's goal was one of those where my mouth was gaping like :O go on, go on , please... IT'S INNN!!! *accidentally flips table* He's back and not afraid to use his head. Amazing way to finish.
Today couldn't have gone better seen Godkid giggle for the firs time literally ROLFing followed by our Reds wiping the floor with Barca
Klopp said "I don't talk with The S*n anymore. I don't speak with The S*n anymore. You can listen. It's not because I'm with Liverpool now. It's because of a few things that will happen in the next few days or few weeks, I don't know." I wish I understood that last sentence but good on him, whatever reason, it's a horrible paper.
I don't get Liverpool Echo's ratings today they're like 6 maybe 7 I'd be throwing at least 8s at everyone.
On to FSV Mainz 05, 14:45 tomorrow.
How do you say it? I swear in the pre press someone said like Mites and Klopp looked like that's so wrong he didn't even think that's what he was trying to say but I dunno however you say it I'm excited.
Oh Ball Street TV's first match is tomorrow too 'citing.
