Let’s hope clip klopp respects the pitch boundaries a little more than last time we played.
At least we beat their u23s recently!

Mohamed Salah has recorded 17 goals and nine assists in the Premier League in 2021-22.

A dry bumming on its way (not that I know what a dry bumming is like but I bet Billy and Andy do )
A miracle draw is the best we can hope for.
I will be opening a fresh bottle of JD around tea time so get ready for some 'interesting' posts from the Rev later

Only hope here is they rest a few for the cup final at the weekend.
Maybe gale force winds and a properly waterlogged pitch.
Can just imagine how Histon felt a few hours before meeting us……
With that midfield there could be trouble ahead - Foreshaw is likely to see lots of grass without Leeds players in front of him 😳
