Went to bed, woke up, got some work done, and I'm still absolutely fuming. Might be even more than yesterday. New season, new low. Unforgivable result. Something needs to be done, I don't know what. I hate the scum and I couldn't care any less about some Mickey Mouse trophies after this. Europa, Carabao, who gives a feck? Seeing people getting giddy about those, like we are Spurs, or West Ham, or something. What has even happened to this club? In 10 years’ time, nobody is going to give a shit who won Carabao or Europa all the way back in 2023. But everyone will remember this result, like everyone remembers the destruction of Brazil by Germany. I don’t remember where I watched the final that year or who I was with, but I can recall with near perfect clarity that 7:1. In 10 years’ time, Liverpool fans aren't going to go back to 2023 and remember how they didn't win the precious Carabao cup or didn't make Top 4. They are going to go back to rewatch how they utterly humiliated and obliterated Manchester United. And when I think back to 2023 and Manchester United, this will be the first thing that pops in my mind.
Nothing can wash this away. Embarrassing, unforgivable. You can't win them all and sometimes you lose badly, but 7:0!? How do you even manage to do that!? This is rock bottom. I thought last year's 5:0 was one of the darkest days in the history of the club. What I didn't think was that it was going to be surpassed just next season. The only thing that can make me feel any better right now about this club is the club getting sold, and not some consolation prizes. I hope whoever the new owners are completely eviscerate the structure of the club. It’s the only way to break this vicious cycle. And even then, this humiliation remains on the record. Everyone involved in this disaster needs to have their wages docked, to be used as refunds for the fans, the rest given away to charities or whatever, and ongoing contract talks put on hold. Others need to start packing their bags.
