The transfer money we got for ‘The Snake’… will settle the invoice we got for DIOGO…

This is the most important game of the season, well at least it will be until the next one. It’s an absolutely must win game.

Of PGMOL, and its appointees, we need not dwell, nor make extensive comment. I have not the slightest doubt that they will do their duty to their kandura clad masters, and ensure that if even so much a nanometre of Mané’s underarm hair strays beyond the offside line, then offside shall be called. As for a penalty shout in our favour, it will be an occurrence rarer than an encounter with wise men or virgins in Miles Platting.

Conversely, should a gentle breeze ruffle the perfectly coiffured locks of a shiteh player, then a free kick shall be forthcoming in an instant.

So come on you Redmen, our mentality monsters; up and at 'em.

Although I did promise in a previous pre-match tome, I think it was the antepenultimate or the one before that, to omit λέγοντα μεταξύ, I could not let this week’s missive go without mentioning that the Lowton & District Townswomen’s Guild annual re-enactment of the failed Munich Beer Hall Putsch has, sadly, been cancelled due to the lockdown. Boudica and her ladies do hope however, that you will celebrate its 97th anniversary tonight, in a pleasing ebullition of enterprise, in private, socially distanced support bubbles, of no more than six.

Meanwhile, Lawro has finally broken cover and revealed his malevolent true self. In him, we see Macbeth, Cladius, and Iago coiled up as one with his predicted 2-0 win to shiteh.

Hopefully his attempted kiss of death won’t throw a spanner in the works and upset the apple-cart.

I’ll take a scrappy 1-0 win to us.

…what?

Lawro = Et Tu Brute

Who stopped the leaks?

Gini will be playing his last game as a man in his 20s. Good luck to him for today and in advance for Wednesday.

[Letstalkabout6]

Pre-match nerves kicking in now as team news approaches. Would happily settle for a draw. But let’s smash these plastics!!!

[GermanRed]

Where are the leaked from Wales?

[WooltonRed]

The question is do I watch the game with the commentary on or off? I know if it’s on, I’ll get angry and stress levels go up. Mmm decisions.

[Barnestormer]

Id only turn it on for Jim Beglin !

[Dutch]

Neil Jones (neiljonesgoal)

[WooltonRed]

Bloody hell! Klopp must be going for it!

[RedSi73]

Alisson, Trent, Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota

That is a ballsy lineup

I said front 4…lets rock em

[Zoran]

[El-Cuchillero]

Well, shit. Klopp’s got quite the fucking pair. Could be a wild game.

[Barnestormer]

Dont like the front line up, last time we tried this there was no space up top.

[Herb]

Well it’s a risky selection that’s for sure. Going to be a big job to keep De Bruyne quiet with all the space he’ll get.

[RedOpium]

This is going to be one exciting game.

[Nobluff]

The Liverpool lineup scares me, midfield that is.
