So sorry for your loss. Swapped the occasional footy post with him. RIP Jan x

That’s brilliant mate. 👍

@knoxharrington.bsky.social @johngibbons.bsky.social Just listening to the main show… I can confirm I have seen both Bob Latchford and Arjen Robben play in the flesh - Neil, please keep making these ‘one for the kids’ references, your more mature subscribers know exactly what you mean! 🤣

@knoxharrington.bsky.social I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your ‘Bob’s son’ reference on the Post Match Pint in relation to Ipswich’s Jacob Greaves. I can assure you that was definitely worth the £10 monthly subscription fee! 🤣 I am also fully aware of Ballesteros, Woosnam & Lyle! 🤣

Another European night at Anfield. Up The Reds!

All that the seeding does is make sure you avoid the play offs and guarantees the 2nd leg of the last 16 tie will be at home. It doesn’t help you avoid the quality teams, as the draw is pre-determined based on the position of each team in the top 24. So we could get Madrid/Bayern/City at some point.

It most certainly was! Provided the information I was looking for! 👍

@knoxharrington.bsky.social This confirms that the CL draw for the QFs and SFs are predetermined, based on the tournament brackets, but that the draw is conducted only to determine which team plays the first leg at home for those ties.

From that same Wikipedia entry it states… In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the exact match pairings are predetermined based on the tournament bracket. A draw is conducted only to determine which team plays the first leg at home.

This is why I queried it with @knoxharrington.bsky.social.

@knoxharrington.bsky.social Can you clarify something please? Did you say that if LFC finish in the top 2 in the CL group stage that they are guaranteed the 2nd leg being at home for all the later rounds should they progress. I know that the top 8 all get to play the 2nd leg at home in the last 16.

I love that track!

Snap! A birthday present today from my Mrs H!

Merry Christmas one and all.

Mo loves a cryptic post… perhaps this post on his Instagram page is a sign that contract deal has been agreed… 🤞

Epic performance from Curtis last night.

Witnessed another brilliant performance under the lights by the Mighty Reds. We controlled the whole game bar 10 mins after we scored. Madrid didn’t have a shot on target until that period. Outclassed them. Bradley MOTM for me, Macca, Curtis, Ibou and Kelleher were all great as well.

Up the Reds! We’re gonna win the league!

A massive game for the Mighty Reds tomorrow got even bigger! Come on boys, do the business!

Big run of games coming up for the Mighty Reds - season defining! We need to take care of business away at Southampton this Sunday so that we can put some pressure on Man City the following Sunday. Can’t wait to be back at Anfield next week.

Post you from another era. 1986 FA Cup Final with a couple of bluenoses, my cousin Gary and my school friend Graeme. Went down onto Wembley on a mixed double decker coach with these guys and my sister (a fellow Red). Needless to say it was an interesting coach journey home.

Bloody hell, these international football weeks are as dull as dishwater (although Coote has provided some interest this time around). Grateful this is the last one before March next year. Roll on next weekend!
