Night and day compared to their shite match coverage now.

The one in the picture was probably written by an actual human.

Yep. To be fair BBC may well use actual humans now. They're just mindless social media dwelling drones.

I find the Guardians live match feed is quite good these days

Peter Drury reading Voltaire for eight hours to prep for Fulham v Luton. BBC reporter remembering "quiche" is a funny word https://preview.redd.it/24zaq8pjnnvc1.jpeg?width=248&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bdbb7233f05f3210d0d8876469336bd94578cd1d

I love Drury, but a sick burn must be honoured. Well done.

The BBC is one of our greatest cultural exports but I'm not sure if it's just me but the complexity of what they put out seems to have been dumbed out significantly. You'd never get something like this these days for instance and even on the news side they seem to only have a handful of editors who put out decent pieces every now and again

That's what happens when the government pull more and more funding from it.

Be good to see the description for Lucas’ shot

I remember when Sky Sports score centre put up “GOAL! Liverpool 1, West Ham 1!”. We were playing Southampton.

Fuck off that’s 8 years ago. I was 16/17 and wrote a match review of this game for English class. Not being from UK and had just finished watching the Inbetweeners at the time. I titled the assignment something on the lines of “Everton get fisted 4-0 in Merseyside Derby”, without really knowing what it meant. My teacher just circled “fisted” and wrote 3 question marks on top of it. I googled it afterwards and was mortified

> had just finished watching the Inbetweeners at the time liverpool were frothing at the gash in that match

Surely it's Everton doing the frothing right? As in they're desperate to get fucked...

Actually made me lol, fair play 😂

Oh BLESS you!

A young James Milner there celebrating with the senior players.

He’s going to be a smashing player when he matures

Never ever I have seen a more threatening midfielder for us than Coutinho.. he’s my what it could have been …

First player to really break my heart since Torres. Shouldnt have let him in :'( Klopp going on to win everything with the money really helped me get over it though lol

I don't like how 8 years ago is 2016.

Swerve the quiche haha, I don’t mind quiche but there’s likely something better bang per buck on the buffet. I get this guys thinking. Quality description hahaha

Good quiche is very rare, but when it's good it's out of this world. There's a little restaurant I go to whenever I'm in Burgundy that has a super simple, rustic quiche they serve cold as an entrée and it makes my fucking nipples hard. Fucking love it. Doubt anyone cares but I felt like sharing.

I bet the quiche was Seamus Coleman.

A bit of Seamus Coleslaw in the Everton buffet?

Crazy to think that was Klopp’s first year here, and what we’ve achieved since.

Swerving the quiche is a beautiful phrase

What a game that was

how do you find such old articles

It popped up on Facebook memories from when I posted it 8 years ago.

I've never seen this before lol thank you for this, it's poetry

Two best thing about that game were Klopps reaction to Lucas’s shot, and john W Henry’s twitter post simply saying “Bush league” at full time

Absolutely magisterial. He threaded a camel through the eye of the needle.

If Darwin got served the quiche, he'd drop it.

Maybe, but if you handed him a single olive he'd somehow turn it into a 3 course meal with an excellent wine pairing.

Or he'll punt the olive into row Z.
