I’ve been trying to steer clear of posting photos of empty shelves but I’ve just been into my local Sainsbury’s for the basics and this amused me.... and also reinforced my belief that we have a lot of stupid people in this country - literally the only beer left in store.

What they want at Anfield is for opposition managers to roll up wearing smart side-partings and lovely cardigans, whose teams lie down and usher in nine goals for the tourists to clap and video on their iPhones.
