Everton V Watford.

Still time for Newcastle to take Benitez?

This is arguably the most embarrassing defensive performance I have ever seen from us.

Watford's last two games in the league.

Watford - Liverpool 0-5
Everton - Watford 2-5.

These are the times I'm glad I don't live in Liverpool and work with Shite fans.

Utterly dreadful collapse in second half. Gutted

disgraceful

And yes, massive boos from the 137 home fans still in the stands at the final whistle.

First home game I've missed so far this season, and what a fucking great decision. I had to ring to apologise to my mate who took my ticket. Fucking hell.

Pickford the only player who comes out of this with any credit. That was the worst I've seen in years. And compare King with Rondon... how Everton is that?

With Doucoure and DCL out long term, this is just a taste of things to come. Dismal performance and will only get worse. Rondon is utterly useless!!!

Sadly, looking at the fixtures coming up, I think you're right. By the time those two are back, we'll have lost all heart and be deep in the bottom half. Rondon is a problem, but a bigger problem now is the defence and the midfield. The fact we've got no cover for Digne is mad - he's been dreadful at times this season but he seems to escape criticism. And I was really hoping Davies would step up in his preferred box-to-box position, but in the last fifteen particularly he was a liability.

Imagine Ranieri on the bus back to London.... so that fat arsehole serving the half time pies said it was an easy game eh... and by the way Josh, what d'ya make of the fat cunt up front they signed to replace you !

Laughed, we nearly shat.... to quote Derek & Clive



boooooooooooooooo

The fat waiter after match comment about taking off Gordon ? the lads not got 90 minutes in his legs, has he gone blind cause Rondon not been fit for all the games he’s started. The irony of a kopite getting us relegated is fast becoming a reality.

Yes, I've had a look now and you were calling it all day about Digne.

What the fuck the red cunts are going to do to us next month is scary. Absolutely dreading it.

I've got a clash of events - I've got tickets for a gig in London on the same night as the derby. I was going to ditch the gig tickets, but do I really want to get the train up to Liverpool, stay overnight, get the train back, in the middle of the week, just to watch our totally inevitable mauling at the hands of Salah and pals? Though I wouldn't be surprised if Klopp sends out the reserves against us. We'll still lose but it will be even more embarrassing.

That gig is sounding more and more attractive.

I haven't got any events arranged that clash with the derby.... but I'm desperately trying to arrange something that will make it impossible for me to watch it

I've gouged my eyes out with teaspoons, just to be sure.

What's the gig? Like, if it's Coldplay, or an Eagles tribute band then I'd be happy to take my chances with a potential derby humiliation.

I'd rather see an Eagles tribute band for sure. Coldplay, maybe not so much.

Du Blonde at the Dome in Tufnell Park.

Yeah, I'd go to the gig. And I'm not even much of a fan (she's alright) but it's quite a low threshold to pass. She'll be good live, I reckon. And a 400-mile round trip to watch the next derby has a carrying-your-own-cross vibe to it.

The Eagles have always bored the tits off of me. The missus loves the Eagles. But she only likes about seven bands, which means she plays The Eagles a lot. And so it goes, a one-way helter skelter of increasing Eagles-related annoyance.

Your call though. No gig I ever attended felt like a derby defeat. But no gig ever felt like a derby win either. I did see The Breeders in Birmingham the night we lost the World Cup semi to Croatia. That could easily have been the best gig of my life but it turned out to be the worst, I'm not sure the band knew what they'd done wrong, bless them.

But mate, if you can envisage a scenario in which Rondon runs van Dijk ragged and Digne doesn't give Salah a kick then fell yer boots and get up there for the party. I'll have your gig tickets.

I played her first album to death, so I thought I'd go. She's a bit fucking mad to be fair. I'm not sure how good she'll be live - I've seen some recent footage and it's not brilliant - but I've been trying to up my gig-going a bit post-lockdown. Only small gigs, youngish bands, as local to me as possible. I saw The Mysterines at the Garage in Highbury the other week and they were brilliant. I thought i'd be the only old cunt there, but there fucking loads of us. My theory is that any band that gets played on Radio 6 is going to pull in a mixed-age crowd. The venue missed an opportunity by not having a cocoa offering at the bar. Youngest people there were the band. I just bought tickets for Dream Wife next year at the Electric Ballroom. Bit of a theme going on here - guitar bands, mostly women.

I love the Eagles. I'd go see them if they played our local pub and had a few more women in the band.

I was doing it pre-lockdown, same thing. Fewer trips to London though, instead I got out to quite a lot of local, small venue gigs (at long last, we have a couple of such places round here now.) My two lads would occasionally invite me to gigs that they were going to with their mates, which was nice - the embarrassment factor no doubt outweighed by the fact that I'd go to the bar for them. I need to get back into the swing of all that before the next lockdown arrives, although last time I checked, my favourite venue seemed to have gone back to booking tribute bands 95% of the time.

Also I've stopped worrying about being the oldest bloke there, because I can't actually remember the last time I felt self-conscious in that way. I think streaming makes it a lot easier for old 'uns to keep tabs on new bands. We can therefore pick and choose who we go to see, given that we don't all have the time to go and see a band we've never really heard of before, just for a night out. Maybe this ensures a generational mix.

I'm now wondering if there's potential for some kind of two-for-one gig/bingo business idea here.

Mad though isn't it. When I was a yoot, a grey-haired man hanging around at the back of a gig was almost certainly either a nonce, a cop, or the manager of the band. But yeah, I'm not self-conscious often these days either. Maybe when I was at that under-16s disco the other night, that was a bit weird I suppose.
