Timeline:

FA Cup

2’ Klopps trust in the kids

3’ This is Klopp’s chance to play the kids, they won’t be playing against City in two weeks. Great for the Dads. Three kids there all whose dads got them playing.

5’ How have Liverpool not conceded in last two games?

7’ all seem well rounded young men. Moulding good young people not just players.

8’ Players with pros as parents know how to stay the course.

11’ Lots of young players sent to private school by clubs.

14’ They’ve done brilliant but a long way to go.

17’ At Wolves, Gary O’Neil, took over five days before season started. He could get them to a Wembley semi/final.

20’ He has walked in and not asked for too much change.

Everton points deduction

23’ six is better then ten. But its still too much.

24’ Not good to have lawyers deciding league placings.

25’ guidelines are better than nothing. But still no structure.

26’ we need clear rules.

27’ Everton will now be fine, little danger of relegation.

Stan Bowles

32’ A maverick, a gambler, and an entertainer.

33’ Many stories about the colourful life, playing snakes and ladders for £50 a corner…

34’ The stories obscure how good he was as a player. In 74’ QPR were 14 mins from winning the league.

37’ Don shanks compared him to Aguero, he was a continental footballer in Britain. Tony thinks Zola.

38’ there was a sad side to stan. He had a testimonial and gambled all the money away within a few weeks.

Brighton

42’ Martin thinks Brighton are too good…they will keep losing good staff and good players. You can’t sustain that.

44’ No matter the data team, at some point you can’t pull another rabbit out the hat.

45’ Bloom is a genius; he is possibly the best owner of a club in the world.

Pogba

53’ Pogba banned for four years for doping. effectively ending his career

54’ Very sad, Sad way for a player of his talent to end his career. It won’t end with this, there is more to come out.

Manchester derby

56’ who knows, Martin can’t predict.

57’ I can’t see how he [Ten Hag] can be there man for next season. Because if he was, they’d have come out and said it.

60’ fabulous team, but you just can’t get the ball off them. Be amazed if Man City don’t win
