Blistering performance from LFC. Soak it up and enjoy. The next phase is the tricky 2nd album.

Big result but Liverpool are like 2 injuries away from a big crisis again, practically 10 players out before this match. AFCON coming up as well so have to do without Salah and Mane.

Can we not apply some covid restrictions to prevent them going? Oops that may set off alex's conspiratorial theories.

Jack Wilshere is giving Glenn Hoddle a run for his money as the most boring pundit
UK broadcasters seem intent on hiring ex players who have battled with depression so they can depress the rest of us.
Ah Pat, sure we have Ray Houghton, Jim Beglin, Ronnie Whelan, and Danger Here George Hamilton career goon still on the airwaves, it's not like the best of the Irish got behind the microphone either!
You could offer me that lot commentating on a match, Martin Tyler commentating on a Man Utd scrappy win against Liverpool, or pluck every hair off my body with a twee......Gimme that tweezers :cry:

Need some good straight shooters on a football show. Roy Keane definitely, Paul McGrath cos he's straight up, doesn't sit on the fence. Jason McAteer as the wind-up merchant. Niall Quinn as the voice of reason as the 4th. Host is either Sile Seoige or Eimear Considine.
All the non-Irish are now googling Sile and Eimear :lol: :lol:

Ronnie's not too bad and I think Beglin has been cancelled! To be fair though we do have some bad ones, I draw the line at Niall Quinn! :lol:

Eimear Considine gets my vote ;) Almost makes womens rugby watchable :P

Hear, hear!

McAteer is proof you don't have to be a boring miserable bastard just because you've been battling depression :) Gotta get MM back into the fold.

But had to Google the last two names :D I bet Derek is going to enjoy Googling them!

Paul McGrath is an interesting call. For ages I though he was a donkey. Then I paid attention and concluded he was up with Baresi. What could he have achieved without his 'baggage'.

Beglin hasn't been cancelled! He's still commentating on one of the Middle East owned broadcasters or one of the US ones, heard his dreary tones on a stream and had to change before I threw myself out the window. It's a flat roof below so I wouldn't die but Jim Beglin is not worth getting broken ankles for :lol:
Speaking of US networks, Kate Abdo formerly of Sky Sports can be found on CBS these days, looking as fine as ever ;)

I was suspicious of people that (who??) wore jackets with sleeves tailored to be halfway up the forearm.
Who. :)

I'm personally fine with whatever they want to wear on their sleeves, as long it's not a swastika :)

I'm a big fan of Alex Scott personally :) US ones are a hard watch, ESPN has to be the worst with Stevie Nicol. There's an annoying Yank whose name eludes me but he's unbearable.

Forgive me. I'm a bit colour blind. What colour were Man Utd wearing today vs Watford?

He was commentating for CBS during a Champions League semi final and when Di Maria got sent off for PSG Beglin said it was because of his 'Latino' temperament :lol: He had to give some groveling apology but they must have forgave him if he's still boring Americans to death :D
