Takes a certain skill to do that

Get yourself a good breakfast to set yourself up for the day. Moose Coffee on Dale St will be queue out the door busy but there is a reason for that. The food is great!!

For food in the afternoon / evening, to be honest, most of the best gastropubs in Liverpool will be outside the city centre...

My advice? Get back into town after the game and go for a Paddy 7 course meal - 6 pints of Guinness and a potato!! If you want a home from home, then there is a pub on Tithebarn Street called Shenanigans that is good.

If you would like a bit of a pub-crawl, then start at the Ship and Mitre on Dale Street for a real ale. Across the road there is a place called the Dead Crafty Beer Company that is good. You could either continue up Dale Street and hit Lady of Mann but my advice would be to take a detour to Tithebarn street and hit Shenanigans for the Man City v Spurs game at half 5.

For food, then Fazenda is great rodizio for steak. Good stuff and would be nearby. Would strongly advise to book it in advance though. If that doesn't suit, then CAU is a good Argentinian restaurant on Castle Street is great steak as well.

Back to your hotel then for a treble-S before heading back out. I would then suggest that you get to Hope Street / the top of Hardman Street and work your way down from there (it's all downhill!). Fredericks is a good spot and the Philharmonic Dining Rooms is worth a pint in if you haven't been before. Then work your way down Hardman St. The Old Blind School is okay - there might be some visuals there. Across the road Fly in the Loaf is good.

By then you are likely to be full of booze but still want to stay out and enjoy a drink with your brother. Get to the bottom of Hardman Street and go to Berry & Rye. This is just a black door on Berry Street but is a good speakeasy style place that do great whiskey cocktails. And it stays open late.

If you were mad for road then get to Seel Street - which is off Berry Street - and just follow the smell of clunge..... ha ha


For hangover cure the next day, then a burger in Almost Famous wont let you down!!

That is a great write up. Since I had my kids I haven't done a "regular" Saturday night like that in years. Just out of interest what would you spend on that in 2017.

Yeah, I think we had about 200 people over, but I do think most of them are Liverpool supporters, you just got unlucky and met the few Swansea ones.

[SB]

Only 3 hours till KO. Good social time for us over here.

Tell ya tomorrow

Thought Sturridge and Origi were very poor in midweek and Firmino has been quite poor over the last couple of months. We really need these guys to pick their game up.

Hope Coutinho will start - great to have him back.

Didn't Cout play 65 on Wednesday though? If so he'll be on the bench imo.

What time is the game on over in Oz mate?

[SB]

1030pm here mate. As compared to the usual midnight or 2am KO.

Plenty of time to get a prediction in.

Clyne back, Matip makes the bench and annoyingly Lallana not in midfield. But strong line up.

Annoyingly Swansea have been fodder for ages but have got a decent manager in and a few new players. I'll just be happy with 3pts today after oureading form this past month.

[dom9]

****. I thought this was tomorrow for some reason.
