I'm still hopeful we'll play in Europe next season. Chin up, keep fighting.

The Sunderland game without Dom is gona be an interesting one.

C'mon the Pool! #YNWA #LFC

Well played!

What a cracking game!

Disappointing result but we need to take our chances when we get them.

Wish Donnarumma hadn't made that incredible save as a draw felt fair.

Some really strong individual performances but not our day.

March on #LiverpoolFC

A rare mistake. Costly though...

Yeeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!!!
Dom!!!!!!!!!!!!💥💥💥💥💥

Such an exciting start to the second half!

C'mon the Reds!

Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world for several consecutive years running.

Really enjoying the second half of the Villa V Brentford game.

Great to see Kelleher as #1 Keeper, Andrews doing such a great job as Head Coach & Collins getting to play in such competitive games.

Sustained pressure from Villa. Exciting last 20 to come!

#COYBIG 🇮🇪

O dear...
Cracking game though!

They've been immense today though. Credit to them... so long as it's a one off!

Utd could be about 4 up now, madness!
