> 5-1 Germany was after that

Ah yes. But I was thinking of tournament matches that really stuck in my mind.

In the fan matrix in the I today, the WH fan thinks that Bilic may have lost the dressing room. He may be an idiot but something that hadn't occurred to me. Only writing this as there are WH fans here.

I think the system he employed today looked good and was a great result considering those still out and the red card error, palace weren't great but slowly things gelling a little, what a shame we let Tomkins go though.

Reid was immense, Noble better than of late and even Zaza didn't look total crap.

What are your thoughts on the match tonight Ots?

I can never enjoy watching it, the fear of losing always trumps the hope of winning...and I count myself as an optimistic person! I think Liverpool will come out all guns blazing, and if we are still on level terms after first 20mins, I reckon it will be a draw, can't see either side keeping a clean sheet, have predicted 2-2...

[Otta]

I know exactly how you feel. Have been thinking of watching in the pub, but equally nervous to do so.

We need to score more than we conceded is how I see it.

I started with that. Then went to 1-1 and later to 2-1. Having a bad week with predictions. One more won't kill me.

[Otta]

I can't actually remember what I predicted. THINK I went with my heart and gave it to Liverpool 3-2 or something.

pool to win

[Otta]

Well I came to the pub fornthe second half. Wish I'd stayed home.

Point probably fair.

I don't usually join in beyond telling your lot to support your local team but that was so poor tonight.

Why wasn't Pogba playing?

At least we now know what a game would look like if West Brom played West Brom...

I think you can safely say we all support Dulwich Hamlet.

A five-year-old Celtic fan rang the club to apologise for missing a game after it clashed with a friend's birthday party.

Louis Kayes, from Moodiesburn in North Lanarkshire, called the club to tell them he was sorry he had not made it to Saturday's game against Motherwell.

The boy's mother, 35-year-old Lisa Kayes, said he had borrowed her phone to make the call. She told the BBC her son had called after a "bit of a guilt trip".

Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Kaye Adams programme, she said: "He was in the living room with my phone and then I heard the voicemail message from Celtic Park saying 'thank you for calling'."

Ms Kayes said Louis wanted to speak to the club's manager, Brendan Rodgers, and his favourite player, Celtic captain Scott Brown, to apologise and explain his absence.

When did Bournemouth get so good?

Happy with a point after that. We didn't play badly by any stretch, but they more than matched us for intensity.

Eddie Howe doing a great job.

[Jah Lush]

Indeed. Eddie Howe is doing a great job, especially considering the limited resources he has. And Jack Wheelchair completed his first 90 minutes in over two years.

Three away games in a row and with the injuries Spurs have had, even though we do now have good cover, I have to say I'm pleased with the away point. This match and especially the WBA game last week is the sort we would have lost a few years ago. Our failing over the last couple of seasons has been drawing too many games though but so far I'm not complaining. Another clean sheet and still unbeaten in the league. COYS!

I see mourinho is doing a sterling job at Yanited

Early days yet but one can't help but feel a little bit of schadenfreude.

[red devil]

I'm not a big fan of Mourinho, but he's a long way off from being labelled a specialist in failure...

['bout now]

I loved Conte's response to the moaning Mourinho.

"I've been a player too and I know how to behave."

Arse served on a warm plate.

[red devil]

The big kick-off is at 8 tonight, can't wait, going for a win for Candice...

Great performance from the Irons last night. :)

Early worries about policing of high profile fixtures in and around OS confirmed :(

[malumbu]

Just wanted to say you modern football types are a load of softies. Now whilst I don't condone of trouble at footy matches it was pretty common in all my early days and I first witnessed a brawl when I was 11. It was all exciting and nobody got hurt. Obviously there was less savory stuff

Last night's events were so predictable but seemed to be one group trying to have a go at another and vice versa. If you were surprised at that go and watch a posher sport.
