Foot & Soccer Soccer Match Reports, Football News 
Morning all.
Given the day that was in it here yesterday, I didn’t see any of the football, but caught up on some highlights of Man Utd’s win over Liverpool this morning. A classic cup tie, I guess, also some of the dodgiest goalkeeping you’ll see. It was like both of them were playing at in slow motion while the game was going on around them at full speed. Mostly though, I couldn’t care less.
However, what did catch my eye was post-game stuff involving both managers. First, Jurgen Klopp taking exception to a question and going off in a huff was quite funny. I suspect there are some linguistic issues at play when he says the guy is not in great shape. I don’t think he’s saying the reporter is unfit or fat, probably more about the quality of the question.

I was just trying to imagine what Richard Keys might do if Mikel Arteta had been that rude in a post-game interview.
“Andy, this is out of order. He’s going to kill someone if he isn’t reigned in. Mark my words, Andy, Arteta is a menace … and his next step will be ritual murder and the slaughter of innocents!”
Then Andy Gray will make that sound he makes, like a Scottish dog choking on a piece of haggis, which means he basically agrees with Richard, but isn’t prepared to use actual words to do so. But look, Klopp being grumpy after losing an FA Cup quarter-final to Man Utd in the last minute to a shot that could have been saved if your grandad was playing in goal is fairly understandable.
What’s hard to get your head around is the response of Erik ten Hag to a question about whether this win could be a turning point for his team. Somehow, he’s still got ants in his pants about Arsenal’s 3-2 win over United back in … *checks calendar* … early September. That’s almost 200 days ago.
Ten Hag’s response when asked if this could be…
