We’re on 17, including Robbo, according to LFC History.
Not sure what the all-time league record is.

We don’t have penalties being given against us because the opposition rarely get into our box.
We either catch teams offside or let players run through 1v1 if Alisson is getting bored.
Most of every game is played miles away from our box.

Ah, we’re so lucky, every team we play, week after week after week, their forward is always marginally offside. Almost as if it was planned.

Absolute shite ‘talking points’ summary of the game in the manchester guardian - and I thought Jonathon Liew was their worst football writer. Take a bow Daniel fucking Harris:
1) Toffees can take heart from derby defeat
… Frank Lampard can take heart from how his team played at Anfield: organised and doughty in defence, enterprising and swift in attack – a spirit encapsulated by a contretemps towards the end of the first half when, after Abdoulaye Doucouré fouled Fabinho to get play stopped so Richarlison could receive treatment, almost the entire team piled into the kerfuffle, including goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
What the actual fuck?
And then a separate point on Liverpool - 8) Liverpool’s flaws not capitalised upon. - where the same author basically goes on to say we are a lucky side and leave space at the back and ‘while Everton weren’t able to make anything of it, but we can be sure that the joy they found won’t have escaped the attention of Unai Emery’.
Cheaty of course are given praise ‘3) Guardiola unfazed by mounting injuries’. The media pep love in is fairly insufferable especially when you compare our treatment with injuries last year to them missing ‘John Stones, Kyle Walker and Nathan Aké are all injury doubts’. Sickening.

Watched the game late last night. I thought Everton defended well, which I didn’t expect from a Lampard team. I never watch Everton apart from when we play them, so considering their league position I expected them to be worse.
I thought the pattern of the game was similar to what we have seen in several home games over the last few years against extremely defensive teams. We lacked the movement in front of the ball to drag them out of their shape and create the gaps, so ended up playing too much in front of them. But stayed patient, it never felt like we were in a hurry.
The subs were logical, and helped us open things up. Lovely move for the first goal. And of course, the second…the purest of joy. The killer blow. I kind of hope it’s the last thing he does in a Liverpool shirt. Not because I don’t want him on the pitch, but because it’s the perfect goodbye. What a man.
And then the Alisson moment…the best.
The only thing missing was Pickford injuring himself. Nothing serious, but just knocking himself out somehow. Like, suddenly there’s a rake on the pitch and he steps on it.
Apart from that, this had everything: a decision they can fume over, the sweet relief of a late 2-0 goal, Pickford ending up looking like a fool. Amazing. These days, folks…

The good thing is now Frank will think its great to play like this and they will end up in the championship.

Leaving random rakes lying around on the pitch would certainly make for an entertaining spectacle. Maybe you should suggest your idea to the FA.

Guess it’s not affirmative action then…
It might be - they only hire imbred tossers with no idea about football?
You really got your knickers in a knot about that didn’t you? 
Yes, because mocking a policy that has improved the lives and situations of millions is not cool.
It depends on the context and situation. Affirmative action is not an uncontested thing that is good in all situations. There is no need for affirmative action by the guardian in hiring journalists who don’t understand football to write about it. Just as there is no call for affirmative action to ensure a greater number of maths graduates are caucasian or cleaners are male or the prison population has better gender balance. The best affirmative action is highly contextual and if it is just applied indiscriminately (ironic) and inappropriately then it’s absolutely open to critique. But I expect you already know this but just wanted to grandstand.
Accusations of grandstanding are easy when attacks on such policies don’t affect you.

What makes you think you would know whether such policies affect me?
“Oirish born Australian recently relocated to Adelaide.”
Statistically speaking, highly unlikely. Not to mention the dismissive way in which you speak of it, sprinkled in with the subtle notes of casual racism.
I have never really wanted Everton to go down - not living in Merseyside, I haven’t really felt the souring of the rivalry. When I think of Everton fans, I think of the great old gent who set up the first club I played with as a child in Canada, was still getting out on the pitch in his late 70’s years later.
But that ain’t them, not any more, and it isn’t the fans anyway. The teams are now just odious, year after year.
I am sick of their bullshit. The diving, the cheap and violent fouls, the time-wasting, and above all the absolutely crap footy. Year after year, the derby is just a goddamn trip to the dentist to watch, where you hope that no one key gets injured.
I’m done. If the choice is between Burnley and a team that spends hundreds of millions so they can play like a snide version of Burnley, give me Burnley twice a year in that sequence of 38 games. Let them go play in the Championship or League One, have a stirring rivalry with Tranmere or something, and get the fuck off my television.

Nice. An attempt at negative discrimination?
Do you realise I actively practice (not promote) ‘positive discrimination’ by majority funding 3 scholarships for educational disadvantage and also sit on a board for a broader scholarship scheme? Of course not. How could you. Instead you feel confident to say, based upon my place of birth and location, that ‘statistically speaking, highly unlikely.’
Isn’t this precisely one of the biggest problems faced by those who experience real discrimination where they are dismissed, over the top of what they say, on the ‘statistically speaking’ bias of others?
Take a look in the mirror buddy.
And as for
Right. Is that the bit where I in turns ridicule Oirish or Straya or is it because one of the objects of my ire had the surname Liew or because of my strong anti CCP views or what exactly? Pretty disgraceful actually and you’ve chosen to bring this all up too.
