Pre-match Liverpool V Wolves 19/5/24 4pm ko

Well it’s arrived! Klopp's last game for Liverpool football club and the time for the fans to say goodbye to what I believe is in the top 3 Liverpool managers of all time.  For me ( from the heart )  he’s the best merely based on the fact he’s such a likeable character that not only shows his class on the touch lines but more importantly off the pitch.

I’ll be watching three matches at the same time on Sunday but Liverpool will be on the big screen and the other two on laptop & IPad such the significance  of this match. By all intents and purposes  I’m an outsider looking in but I can’t help but feel the score line won’t have much relevance as Sunday May 19th will rightly be about the great man himself. 

For those that remember this will be liking watching a famous movie called The Champ ( 1979 ) for the younger fan something thing like Schindler’s List ( 1993 ) or The Green Mile (1999 ) Hard as Liverpool fans are I don’t believe there will be a dry eye in the house,  the Adams apples will be plentiful for sure. I’m really going to miss him and I’m glad I’m not in your shoes come Sunday.

I presume there’s plenty going on behind the scenes before/during the match and most certainly after the match, I’ll be glued to the box as i personally think the best football anthem in the world YNWA will be sang at the highest level I’ve ever heard it in all my years watching football.

GOODBYE Jürgen KLOPP. You’ll be sadly missed. 

Class! Thanks Keith

Tickets going for 7K in the main stand near the dug out tomorrow

yes it is still a working class game isnt it.

Well this is it then, the moment we've all been dreading since Jürgen announced he was leaving the club in January 

This is going to be extremely emotional on Sunday, in fact I can't imagine there will be a dry eye in the vicinity of Anfield.

 - tissues at the ready 

Waking up this morning, opening up Facebook and seeing so many memories and well wishes for our Boss and that he opened his 1st Instagram account and got 500K followers in his first hour, his smiles, his fist pump videos and then the Pep clip speaking of his love and admiration, just bought the tears out.

Then I had to start work, can't concentrate...have had a few extras if you know what I mean, just to calm myself down.

Have told the Missus, to put on her Jürgen pink Nike cap I bought in Liverpool as a mark of respect for the Man and she is doing that now.

14 and a bit hours to go ...can't take my my mind of that Beautiful Soul.

Love you Jürgen. Thankyou for everything Boss.

I hope to see you standing side by side with my Red Comrades one day in the Kop and I am pretty damn sure, you would brave it down at Stoke on a cold, wet windy, rainy night!

Jürgen, you are the reason my boys and I have such a great relationship. Since they were little, all they've ever known was you as manager. You built this club back up and we 3 share a common love of the it. It's all we talk about. We watch games together. We celebrate together. We moan together. The boys play in the yard all the time pretending to be Bobby and Mo. The style of play you brought and the beliefs you have instilled are the reason for this.

You had us 3 freak out together when we beat BARCA 4-0, won in Madrid, smashed City, put 7 on United, beat Everton at the death and see you run onto the pitch, win the FA cup and FIFA club world cup, win the milk cups twice in dramatic fashion, watch a GK score, and win us the league.

We're at a tournament this weekend, so we will miss the game live, but once we're home we're gonna sit down and watch you lead us one more time. We may even shed a tear or two. My youngest scored a goal today and ran down the sideline and held up six fingers. After the game someone ask him what he did and he told him it was 6 for our UCL titles. I'm not even sure this guy from North Carolina, USA knew what tf he was talking about. But I did, and it made proud

YNWA.

Not ready for this.

The day we’ve all dreaded since that shock announcement in January, keep welling up, every time I look at the tele there’s something about Jürgen on. Think I’ll do some gardening until the match, need the distraction. 😢😢
If there were more Jürgen Klopps in the World, what a World that would be! 🫶🏻

I don’t know what it was like to experience Bill Shankly but id imagine it’s not too different to what I’m feeling with Jürgen Klopp,
Like a hand to glove, he has gotten us from day one, from his own humble beginnings in the Black Forest of Germany to Mainz05, onto Dortmund where he experienced the Yellow wall, Dortmund being a working class city akin to Liverpool, that’s his kind of club, the fans there no different to ourselves, so he was indeed the perfect fit, the only fit that would could and has taken us back to the very echelons of world football,

So today we say goodbye, there isn’t anything I can add that hasn’t been said already, I’ll be bubbling like a 2 year old toddler laters that I have no doubt, but like the great man himself said don’t think of the sad times think of the happy times, and Smile because we have been together every step of the way with him and if we’re all honest it has been a absolute privilege and honour.


Thank you Jürgen Norbert Klopp, from the bottom of all of our hearts,  You Will Never Walk Alone !!



YNWA

Almost forgot about the game. There will a lot of pressure to start. Seeing city lose on goal difference would some sort of Karma. Rumour Thiago is fit.

The game will be sh*te, it's all about the fist pumping and the wave at the end

Always had you down as an arl b***ard mate. Maybe not that old?

I think Jürgen is as close as we could ever have hoped to get to Shankly. Totally in sync with the club, supporters and city, his passion and devotion writ large. His legacy is as much in who he was as the trophies he won and a real rarity of a man in the modern era of football management. That's why even the likes of Keith pay their respects!

The game will feel totally irrevalant, it is Jürgen Klopp's day, with a chance for fans to bid farewell to a charismatic and well loved manager.

Which is what my brother and nephew are doing.

This is the chance for the young'uns to say goodbye to the only proper manager they have known.

The players and the crowd better give the performance of the season today to thank Jürgen

I would of much preferred in the Palace or Derby match, but so be it.

Feeling strangely calm.....

I saw the early 70's of Shankly games and what people forget is there was no social media so every word was special. He had the same human frailties as Jürgen it's a very good comparison . Remember what happened after Bill  Bill built the house Bob put the roof on

there was no social media

The good old days.

90 odd minutes of non stop Jürgen Klopp love from the stands is what's needed today. Couldn't give a F**k if we win lose or draw.

Not that he would want that himself but it's no less than he deserves.

Do it for Jürgen..
