    Them was the days when he was our Guy in the dugout, anton - so glad to see him doing well. As for me, another Saturday listening to Jazz Record Requests pretty much says it all - null point!

      Had almost forgotten how to celebrate a win, especially against a top 6 side until I wandered into the kitchen and saw the “xmas” booze that I got in yesterday.

      Not my day for the tickets, just as well probably as I have my second cold in three weeks , but you can see the difference in the side even from the TV coverage. Kept to the plan even after conceding the obligatory soft and deflected equaliser, and Charlie and Shane showed what they bring to the party. We were probably overdue a break this season.
      What a good player Ings is, a proper PL striker. Great link up play , excellent vision, and a good finisher.

      Ralph will be a happy bunny tonight.

            Great for you ts. Please will you write a letter to Mr Chansiri and explain to him the value of employing a manager who seems to know what he is doing?

              Thanks Cloughie, ( and AG).

              I'll drop your owner a line. Its a good plan.

              Talking of deflected goals, I expect JLW will be along after a bit of a lie down. Men against boys really, but easy for a good side to freeze on a big occasion like today when they go behind or get pegged back.
              City having their eyes on the bigger prize may yet help them a great deal.

                Yes, a breathless, exhilarating victory against a defiant United - but a struggling United, in a difficult season...(Whither United, etc...? Mourinho looked gloomier than ever...)
                We were as brilliant as last season (at last...!) for the first 20 minutes or so but only got one goal....(exquisite pass from Fabinho, who may just be settling in now...we can't always rely on the Good Soldier Milner, or tetchy old Henderson...)

                Oh, I do like ​Xherdan Shaqiri.... I was thrilled to hear we'd got him, having noticed his flair as long ago as the 2014 World Cup.... ...always feel a bit miffed when he's subbed..a player who can change a game in a moment.... but it's not an 11-player game anymore really, especially if you're in the CL as well...phew..

                Saints v Gunners was a great game...! Between two teams with new-manager-bounce...

                  It certainly is not, Jayne...it helps to have a great manager, and Liverpool have one in spades. Great result for Klopp.

                        Manchester United sack manager Jose Mourinho after no progress despite spending £400m on 11 players.


                        And good riddance. I was totally against his appointment in the first place.

                          Hasn’t anyone noticed the way the Miserable One manages to mess up his third season at a club, in order to get a huge payout when he’s sacked.

                          Mind you, for once I have an inkling of sympathy for him. Player transfers have been messy since David Gill left alongside Sir Alex.

                            Are you quite certain about this ?

                              I'm glad he's gone.

                                Pogba is stinking the place out too. I hope he's next to go. There is so much immaturity in that dressing room.
