Fowler sports shop adverts for the new Liverpool retro kits are good.
The four square green and white kit is a classic.

All the players are in it.
Might not amuse fans of other clubs though 😉
 
Bah… West Ham V Leeds quarter final had been moved to Easter Sunday, and I am away ☹️

Watch out for the 10 minute stoppage at some point in the game, for the British players to go off the pitch to eat their Easter eggs 😂
 
So, Newcastle take a corner, the ball is in play, and Reece James, having at no point looked at the ball, wrestles a Newcastle player to the ground.

How on earth is that not a penalty?
It's one of those that really should be given. That type of incident needs removing, it's appalling defending and should be punished.

I would love them to be able to review it with the ref (and VAR) asking why it’s not a penalty?
I’m not on about having a go at them but I would like to know their thoughts behind why it’s not a penalty.

I’d love to hear the rationale. It’s a foul, pure and simple. There is absolutely no debate to be had, so the justification would be entertaining to hear.

Because its a London club and one of the big six. The powers that be really dont want gatecrashers to what they think is a private party.

All started before the game when the ref should have told the players to have their pre match huddle somewhere else instead of letting them surround him on the center spot. Can only have been done to intimidate and influence.
 
Not too disappointed losing at the Emirates as didn’t expect anything beforehand.

Thought we were going to hang on for a point, but probably no more than Arsenal deserved.😭

Didn't work too well :)
 
Nuno doing Nuno things with West Ham. It’s definitely a foot race between Spurs, Forest and Leeds for that final spot in the championship. Massive, massive game against Fulham today and I’m not expecting anything at all.

Last year the Forest fans at The City ground really were the 12 th man. They need to turn up for every game for them now and believe in the team. 👍

On a side note, am getting really bogged off reading entitled City fans expecting a win and trophies every year 🤬
Some days you have to give credit to other teams.

The approach to take Brentford head-on and then worry about City afterward appears to have been the right approach.

Importantly, morale seems to be high.
