He Made the People Happy - A look back at the Jurgen Klopp Era

After nine amazing years Jurgen Klopp's time at Liverpool has come to an end. He won everything, broke all sorts of records, treated us to the best football we've ever seen and gave us one hell of a fun ride.

Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss the late capitulation before moving onto other topics, such as who will and won't be crying when Jurgen says farewell this Sunday, the annoying trend of wives and kids coming onto the pitch after the final game and which current LFC player would survive a zombie apocalypse.

Stick a fork in us, we're done. The pathetic limp towards the finish continues with another desperately disappointing display and more points thrown away, this time against a West Ham side that looked pretty disinterested for most of the game.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Stu Montagu for the latest group therapy session. The result was bad enough, the performance was worse and we also had to ensure the sight of Mummy and Daddy fighting as Klopp and Mo went at it on the touchline. Just grim.
