Liverpool vs the United Way
Liverpool vs the United Way kicks off at 3 PM from Anfield and the Reds will go top if they defeat United. This used to be perhaps the greatest rivalry in English Football. Now Manchester United plays charitably , especially the last time these two met at OT when Pool scored five without reply. Therefore Manchester United is a charity , the United Way yet they don't play the United way. Sadly Klopp's Reds do. There's talk of Un item possibly stopping Pool's quadruple bid. United did stop their treble bid in 1977 ,and their bid for the domestic double in 1979,. The time is as good as any to be spoilers. Join me if you can to see what happens at Anfield and if the Cottagers clinch promotion to the Prem this afternoon.

Just a reminder that Friday , which was Good Friday was the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. There may be a moment of silence before kickoff and Pool always seem to get motivated on these occasions
The match kicks off on USA at 3 PM. Cottagers vs PNE kicks off at 2:45 PM. Cottagers clinch promotion to the Prem with a win
Yesterday Roons Rams were relegated to L1 with a 1-0 loss at Loftus Road and the Reading Railroad drawing 4-4 with the Swans. The goal at Loftus Road was scored in the 88th minute and then the clincher was when Ince's lads came from 1-4 down to draw 4-4 with the equalizer scored in the fifth minute off stoppage time . Rams with a player sent off in the eighth minuter of stoppage time
If Ince's lads had lost then the Rams still would have been mathematically alive even with the loss.
Looks like a key match in the Championship will be a makeup match four days before the end of the season when the Cherries host Forest. That match on May 3rd may decide who goes up as runners up and who will be resigned to the playoffs
Hiya, David - thanks for getting us going this afternoon. I'm of course in the United camp today. Hoping that you lot can pull one out.
The teams warming up at Anfield:
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Mane, Diaz.
Subs: Konate, Milner, Keita, Gomez, Jones, Jota, Tsimikas, Origi, Kelleher.
Manchester United: de Gea, Jones, Maguire, Lindelof, Dalot, Pogba, Matic, Wan-Bissaka, Elanga, Rashford, Bruno Fernandes.
Subs: Bailly, Mata, Lingard, Sancho, Henderson, Alex Telles, McTominay, Mejbri, Garnacho.
Referee: Martin Atkinson (W Yorkshire).
Ronaldo is of course on compassionate leave, as he and his wife lost a baby yesterday. Very sad for them.
Hi Boys
I have never had less confidence in my lot today
It will be hard to watch!!
No Ronaldo... for obvious reason... he could have at least got us a goal!
This is the first of three games that could either break or make United's season!
Today
Liverpool A
Saturday
Arsenal A
Thursday
Chelsea H
S
In L1 Richard Burton takes the lead vs Rotherham. The Fake Dons move up to second place , a point ahead of the south Yorkshire by merely kicking off at Oxford Shoes.
Good Afternoon, Bob and Dave., Completely forget about CR 7's sad loss yesterday. Thoughts to him and his family at this difficult time
Sky Sports had a poll for a Pool-United Combined XI
Results
Alisson
TAA, Konate, VD, Robertson
Hendo, Fabinho, Thiago
Salah, Mane, Diaz
That says it all
Welcome, Dave - how are you, mate?
You're welcome , Bob. Hope my thread is inaccurate
Agreed, Dave. Sadly it sounds like three matches that will break our season. Donations to the United Way? That XI speaks volumes
Just a reminder that we leave for our road trip tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday around dinner time. My next time chatting after today will be the Monday nighter at Selhurst Park
We need Chelsea to beat the Gunners tomorrow on USA
Also, lets have wins for Leicester Newcastle and City
Quite a run by Brighton
Lost at home to Liverpool 0-2
Lost at home to Spurs 0-2
Drew 0-0 with Norwich
Then...
Beat Arsenal and Spurs away and next up City away!!
Will there be a moment's silence for the Hillsborough Disaster?
Have a fun trip
I had my second Covid booster shot yesterday, so I'm feeling really fatigued this afternoon. Hoping this match will be a tonic.
They had it during the Semi Final
Utd wearing black armbands and black sweat tops...for Ronny?
Tonn vs Palace two safe teams level on points. Definitely want Palace to lose on Monday
Hope you feel better
Not sure about my second booster
NBC off to commercials....not listening to the atmosphere
Poor
Thanks for the update. I forgot about that . Thanks for the well wishes for the road trip
We haven't got our second booster. May do so once we get back from Ohio
Salah hasn't scored from open play forever....just the type of defense to play against to sort himself out
I would think all United fans would want City to win the league because of the Quad and 20-19....a win would help for that!!
We are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
I can dream
Thanks, guys - it will pass. We're underway at Anfield!
They're off from Anfield.
COME ON MAN UNITED1 HELP STOP THE QUADRUPLE BID!
Stop the fancy camera work
Not sure if I told you all, but on Thursday I'm meeting up with VanSuch and Stef at an Irish pub in Dayton. Should I send photos?
So United won the European Cup in 1968 and then the 1977 FA Cup.... is that the gap they are talking about?
Or 1977-83
You did mention that to us
I wish Rashford would have a breakout game here
Alisson was very brave there!
Yes, please - I'd love to see pictures. You could even post them on the LOB if you like.
United go back to De Gea!! Why? He then just kicks it straight out of bounds
Now Haaland looks like he is going to City...as if they need him!
One nil....that didn't take long!!
WHAT THE HELL
TWO GUYS WIDE OPEN!
Sorry, chaps - Diaz nets from about three yards out. Should be a VAR check on offside, right?
I thought that Diaz was off when the ball went out to Salah, no?
I know it's not part of the rules
Diaz was offside for the first pass.... I know it didn't go to him but he had a head start to get into the box....that is unfair
That's really disappointing. Not that I thought he'd ever go back to his birthplace - we couldn't afford him, anyone - but it would have evened things up if he'd gone to United or Arsenal.
That's my thinking, too. If he weren't involved in the goal at all, that might be one thing, but he scored!
Nope...it didn't go to him...so he's on side
Teams should just keep a guy in the box and pass to the width
Nice touch by all fans clapping for Ronaldo at the 7th min mark
Nice round of applause now for Ronaldo. I really feel for him; I can't even imagine the pain.
STRUTH.... Lingard already coming on?
For Pogba? Is he hurt?
Exactly, mate! What's to prevent that?
Looks like it - he's limping after some clash. Lindy to replace him. Bad to worse.
Offside is for an unfair advantage....Diaz had an unfair advantage of a head start to the box
I really can't stand these guys how they go gaga over Liverpool or City...it is pathetic
Bruno gets the ball... but gives the ball away
United survive for now
So far...this season....United 0 Liverpool 6.....stunningly bad
Sorry for not commenting. We were getting our HVAC unit serviced for it's semi annual check. Everything works perfectly.
Mane so wide open in the middle of the field...shot blocked
Where is everyone in blue?
No marking at a corner...United survive....this is so sad!!
I saw the goal and United carved apart. Should have been disallowed if Diaz was offside.
What was the argument between De Gea and TAA after the goal. Was it for TAA not making his contribution to the United Way?
Congrats....it is better not to comment...this looks like Prem vs League 1!!!
The rule says if it wasn't passed to him...he's on!!
I hate it!
I thought you'd kicked the telly in, David. I wouldn't blame you.
TAA kicked the ball after the ball hit the net... missed De Gea's head by an inch
Arlo just said goalkeeper is the only position where United don't need an upgrade. That's a fairly accurate statement
Thanks, Dave. That makes sense why De Gea was upset? Poor by TAA
United still in this one - come on!
Arlo talks about Untied's 26 year gap and Liverpool's 30 and them not dominating at the same time.....
WELL ARLO....how about the 60s!!
Liverpool Champs in 64, United 65, Liverpool 66 and United 67
LOL, Bob! I was none too pleased , but glad we got a good checkup for the maintenance
The 60s may be too far back for Arlo to remember. Not a student of the game like we are
BUGGER !SALAH PUTS POOL TWO UP. THROUGH BALL FROM MANE!
Sorry, chaps - Salah with second. Good goal, I have to admit.
Two nil
Salah scores from open play
Apparently... greatest goal of all time
It was but they are going over the top!!
And...the defenders are CRAP
SEVEN NIL
Now Pool have a free kick
Thanks, Bob. Thanks for your support
Pool now top a pair of points ahead of Citeh , but have played a match more than Citeh
King Kenny enjoying his evening in the stands.
Like Pool,Cottagers two up, vs PNE. Will be promoted if they win
Did you and Kate score....already two up vs PNE
United as charitable as the United Way. They keep giving. That's a pun and a fact
United have been absolutely no threat at all...NOT AT ALL!!!
Celebrations at the Cottage after the match?
Ralf will need to call out a plumber because the defense is leaky like a dripping faucet
Both goals from Kate - I'm a bit under the weather today.
We'll have to break out the bubbly!
COTTAGERS now THREE up. They're going up
This is a training session for Liverpool
Who would buy Paul Pogba at this point?
CRIKEY! Mitrovic has scored FORTY league goals this season
Sounds like Kate's running riot at the Cottage!
At least we're doing better than PNE. I'm looking for something positive to say
Well done Kate.... was the third her hat-trick
Kate has assisted on quite a few of those forty goals this season
Diaz... takes on a man suck and crosses...what a novel idea!!
And then Fulham will do nothing in the Prem again next season. I'd prefer to see a new side like Luton or a team that hasn't been in the Prem for a while like Forest.
Why is Phil Jones starting? Why is he still with United?
Bloody hell - Mane nearly in there!
How can Maguire look strong for England but looks like an hippopotamus in a United shirt!
I think this Cottagers side is better than the last couple of times they were promoted. They're running riot instead of creeping through the playoffs
Nice one, Dave. Great description of Maguire
Well, your three big signings over the summer were Ronaldo, Varane and Sancho. None of them playing today.
It is too late to stop Fulham.... it looks like Bournemouth are favorites for the second spot but Huddersfield, Forest and Luton are in arms length
I don't want Ful, Bou and Hudd up
Do you really think that Maguire is that bad for United? I think that the main problems are in the midfield and up front (with the exception of Ronny).
United have a corner....ABSOLUTELY USELESS
Liverpool break so fast and almost get a chance
This is men vs Boys
Ball in the net...offside
Wigan take the lead at PR through former United traineee , Will Keane. Are a win from promotion as things stand
I first thought Diaz was saying he wasn't offside but I think he was saying no goal
United sliced apart on that move. How is that different from the goal that was incorrectly allowed?
Arlo being sarky....saying United move was promising because we kicked the ball into the box...straight at Alisson
Such a pathetic late flag
Kate didn't score all the goal
Mitrovic scored his 40th goal in his 40th game!
Championship....but impressive!!!
Poor by Arlo, but I was thinking the same .I think that might have been outr first move in the Pool box.
I'll tell you what Fwank Lamps is thinking - he's peeing his short pants.
Kate assisted on about 35 of those goals. Also impressive. Bob won quite a few tackles that led to those goals. Kudos to Bob
Liverpool should hammer them!!
LOL, Bob! I think you're spot on about Lamps.
I wonder if Pool fans are lying the fact that the Toffees could get relegated or are they thinking that 60 consecutive seasons of Mersey Derbies are about to end
United have had no attacks...let alone no shots...let alone no shots on goal
Appropriate that Erik Ten Hog is to become United manager because their ten outfield players are playing like a bunch of hogs.
BOOM BOOM!
Is my comment at 3:43 a paraphrase of Dave's at 3:41?
A minute of stoppage time
Lee now being Sarky . Said it's only 2-0
Nice sweeper keeping by Alison off a long ball from the back and Pool deservedly two up
HT
Spent the last few minutes folding laundry...I was just as dangerous as United
LOL, Dave! I believe you.
You're certainly sharper on those towels than Rashford has been. United need a response in the second half, at least for the fans.
Jaden Sancho on for Phil Jones - let's see if that helps matters.
Sancho on for Jones. A much needed attacking change but Sancho's passing has been poor and why did Jones even start? Is he even capable of playing in the Prem?
My HVAc unit received more service than Rash did.
United, like Dave, currently on Spring Break
Ralf looking like Dave after he reads my puns
Martin Atkinson is trying to sort out the technology.
Jones off for Sancho
Ref has to go get dressed again!
Not a Big Club takes the lead vs Already relegated Motley Crewe and move up to fourth place
Martin Atkinson not any sharper than United
Ralf has been a complete bust at Untied
He complains about how bad his team is playing...isn't it his job to make them play better
Do they just ignore him during the week
This match has already dropped us down a spot on GD to Arsenal
The second half FINALLY underway from Anfield
we're in a Conference League spot. We'd be better off not playing in Europe than bering in that third tier competition
United have an early corner now - come on, one off Maguire's bonce, eh?
Agreed about Ralf and I think the palters aren't listening to him.Does my comment at 4:03 basically agree with Dave's comment about Ralf?
I agree with you, Dave - I don't know what his record has been vis a vis OGS but he doesn't seem to have done any better.
According to the Beeb....United have conceded more goals than BURNLEY!!
I hope United's hogs listen to Erik Ten Hog when he takes over .
I'd say so, David. How has Spring Break been, Dave?
Yes United have conceded one more than Burnley. Thankfully United have doubled Burnley's goal output
Would United be more of a threat if Ann Field were starting for them
That's correct - United have conceded 46 to Burnley's 45. But then United have 52 as opposed to Burnley's paltry 26. That is, double their total. Can you imagine having a season ticket at Turf Moor?
Will United's attack receive more service than my HVAC unit. They need just as much maintenance
United crowd singing loud
Much better form than the side
How can United be so bad?
Being a season ticket holder at Turf Moor must be absolute torture. Not as bad as the 1986-787 season when they were almost relegated from the Football League
Glad not to be tutoring but been busy the first two games with errands
Dave if you were in charge you would be rattling more than teapots. Ralf needs to be rattled.
Liverpool have taken the foot off the gas - I hope that United can get one back and make a match out of this.
Tractor Boys tie it up vs table topping wigan
Klopp the longest serving Prewm manager. I guess Prem managers don't last as long as they used to. Not like SAF and Wenger
United had the chance to get Klopp....another blown decision
UNITED GET A SHOT!!!!
Well...a back pass by Sancho
Sancho at least gets a shot off on goal but it's relatively tame by the time it gets through to Alisson.
I heard Bob was sobbing because he misses Sean Dyche. Is that true, mate?
United WON....an uncontested drop ball!!
Hey...it's a victory
Agreed, Dave. I really wanted us to get Klopp. He reminds me of SAF. Instead we get nice guys like OGS and Ralf. I think Erik Ten Hog fits the same mold. Just a guess
We've kept a clean sheet this half too. How about that?
Rash troubled TAA less than Dave did the towels
Better from United here. Sancho's making a difference.
True - Dave bossed those towels for sure.
Richard Burton two up vs Rotherham .Charlton takes the lead at Cambridge
Sancho had no idea what to do with the ball inside the box
Diaz took on a man and crossed
Awful free kick by Bruno
What's going on at the Cottage? No goals in the second half. Has the partying begun?
United playing as if they want Pool to win the quadruple
Elizabeth had me start the washing machine. I pushed two buttons. I bet I was more dangerous than United.
United get a chance to break....blow it!!!
Didn't get a shot off
Tractor Boys have come from behind to take a 2-1 lead vs table topping Wigan.
Oh - United were in there. Should have scored!
United get two chance.... both missed
Late flag anyway
HE WAS ON!
FINISH IT!!!
OH! Double save by Alison from Rash and Elanga. Both should have scored. Offside flag went up extremely late
It was a poor effort from Rashford....of course
Charlton goes two up at Cambridge
United were definitely on delicate cycle in the first half - much better this half.
Who you all agree with my comment at 4:23?
Liverpool are playing a slightly better version of Man Utd in this half
LOL, Bob. Nice one . Thought you would like that?
I think Dave would agree that United need to have a garage sale at the end of the season.
Liverpool go forward....Three nil
Easy as that
Sorry, chaps - Mane kills off the match with a super strike.
BUGGER! MANE SCORES WITH A FIRST TIME SIDE FOOTED SHOT TO PUT POOL THREE UP
Who would you lot sell in the summer?
Ok...it was a goal Arlo....a cross and shot...that's it!!
He said Liverpool go top for the first time since October....didn't they go on top a couple of weeks ago playing before City?
It is so sad that I am not that bothered
Rash.... loses the ball
Robertson picked up a sloppy pass in his own half, went on a 50 yard run then passed wide left to Luis Diaz and his pass was diverted in by Mane from the edge of the box
Anyone can go....they are all rubbish
Jota on for Luis Diaz who gets a standing ovation
Oxford takes the lead vs the Fake Dons, who move down to third place behind Rotherham on goal difference. Top there in L1 all losing
I don't see United getting anything from Arsenal or Chelsea coming up
Not a Big Club now only four points outside an automatic promotion spot. Bob will not be pleased
Neither do I . That would mean United not being in Europe next season.
I didn't check the record , but I think Ralf may be doing worse than OGS
Will Liverpool hit double digits against United this season?
8-0 and counting....thankfully we didn't meet them in a Cup!
Do you think that Ronaldo will come back for another season under Ten Hag?
I think I heard that Ten Hog doesn't want CR 7 as one of his hogs, so I'm thinking no.
Well, Liverpool did us 6-0 at Anfield - count your blessings!
I'm guessing it's due to his age and that he probably wants graduates from the famous Ajax Academy. Not sure how that will work out
